People are Talking

  • “From the early days of our company’s establishment, N & M have given us a fine service not just for monthly and annual accounting, payroll processing and tax filing, but for financial reporting to our head office. In addition, we greatly appreciate their detailed responses to the head office for any small query about reporting.

    While the reporting schedule of overseas head office is sometimes very tight because it is out of consideration of Japanese holidays and other local schedule. Despite such a hard schedule, N & M have provided the service in time and it is a great reassurance to us.

    As we can get a in-depth reply from their experienced staff even for a minor question, we can consult N & M about anything without hesitation. We have nothing to worry about daily accounting in general. N & M is a necessary partner for us to facilitate our business in Japan.”
