JTAX™ can assist clients with due diligence and deal integration services in Japan. The goal is to minimize the risk of hidden negatives being revealed after an acquisition has occurred.

JTAX™’s services can be provided separately or as part of an integrated package. We are able to work with a client’s existing advisors and can also provide introductions to other specialists (law firms, actuaries, etc.).

Key components of our services include:

• Due Diligence – JTAX™ can review accounts and tax filings to ensure that the local entity is in compliance. We can also interview local management to obtain a better understanding of the business.

• Deal Integration - After the Japan acquisition has been completed, critical functions need to be standardized in order to avoid interruption to the business and maximize value. Key focus areas include payroll, benefits, HR, tax, and accounting functions.
