What We Value
Integrity in Accuracy, Passion for the Workplace
Behind every task we undertake are the lives of individual employees and the determination of business owners to protect their companies.
That is why we take professional pride in delivering meticulous and dependable work, with zero tolerance for errors—even down to a single yen—or for missed deadlines.
By Your Side, Through Every Challenge, Moving Forward Together.
We are more than a provider of administrative services.
As a trusted local partner that has stood alongside businesses through both good times and difficult ones, we support business owners through the challenges and isolation that can come with leadership, while working hands-on to address issues at the workplace.
In recent years, we have also been quick to expand our multilingual support for the growing number of foreign workers in Japan, helping businesses turn changes in the workforce and society into new opportunities.
By Your Side for the Next 40 Years.
We want to help create a future where employees can say, “I’m glad I work for this company,” and business owners can smile and say, “I’m glad I built my business in this community.”
Carrying forward the trust we have built over the past 40 years, we will continue to stand behind businesses with reliable expertise, genuine passion, and unwavering support for every new challenge they take on.
Services
We provide flexible support, from ongoing advisory services to one-off assistance for specific needs.
We offer not only ongoing advisory services that provide comprehensive support for day-to-day HR and labour management, but also one-off assistance for specific needs, such as drafting work rules and applying for government subsidies. We propose the most suitable level of support based on your company’s circumstances and stage of growth.

Labour Insurance and Social Insurance Procedures
Ongoing / One-offWe provide accurate and prompt support for a wide range of labour and social insurance procedures, from enrolment and withdrawal procedures when employees join or leave a company, to regular filings such as annual standard remuneration reports and monthly remuneration revision notifications. We also assist newly established companies with the procedures required to set up labour insurance, employment insurance and social insurance coverage. We believe that behind every filing are the livelihood of an employee and the commitment of a business owner. That is why we approach every procedure with the utmost care and accuracy, allowing no room for even a one-yen error or an avoidable delay. We also keep a close watch on legislative and regulatory changes and provide timely guidance to our clients.
Payroll Outsourcing Services
Ongoing / One-offWe handle monthly payroll processing with accuracy as our highest priority. From calculating overtime pay, social insurance contributions and taxes, to reviewing time and attendance data and preparing payslips, we provide comprehensive support throughout the entire payroll process. We also offer flexible options for receiving attendance information, including by fax or PDF. Because payroll is an essential task that must be completed accurately every month, we are committed to delivering a service built on reliability, security and precision, with uncompromising attention to every detail.
Development and Review of Work Rules and Company Policies
Ongoing / One-offWe draft and review work rules and other company policies to reflect the actual circumstances and needs of each business. In addition to ensuring compliance with changes in laws and regulations, we place particular importance on closing the gap between written rules and actual workplace practices, helping companies establish policies that can be effectively implemented in day-to-day operations. We believe that company policies are more than just documents—they are a set of commitments that protect both the company and its employees, while giving employees confidence and peace of mind at work. The clearer those commitments are, the stronger the foundation of trust between the company and its people. That is why we focus on creating practical rules that are firmly rooted in the workplace, rather than policies that exist only on paper.
Expert Support for Workers’ Compensation and Employment Issues
Ongoing / One-offWe provide prompt, expert support for everything from workplace accidents and workers’ compensation matters to employment-related disputes and conflicts. In many cases, delays in the initial response can make a problem more difficult to resolve. Not knowing what steps to take or where to turn for advice can itself be one of the biggest factors in allowing a situation to worsen. That is why we do more than simply handle procedures on your behalf. We start by listening carefully, helping you understand and organise the situation, and working alongside you to determine the best way forward.
Pension Advisory and Consulting Services
One-offWe provide pension advice tailored to each individual’s circumstances, covering not only old-age pensions but also disability pensions and survivors’ pensions in the event of illness, injury or death. We also explain in clear terms how pension benefits may be adjusted for people who continue working after reaching pensionable age, an issue of particular interest to many business owners. Pensions are closely connected to the lives people have built over many years of work. That is why we take complex pension rules and explain them in clear, accessible language, providing careful support so that each person can understand their options and plan for the future with confidence.
Government Subsidy Advisory and Application Support
Ongoing / One-offRather than recommending subsidies simply because they are available, we identify and propose government subsidies that can serve as practical solutions to the challenges your business is facing. We provide comprehensive support throughout the process, from checking eligibility requirements and preparing application documents to submission and post-application follow-up. Our goal is not simply to help clients receive a subsidy, but to use each opportunity as a step toward building a stronger and better workplace. By supporting you from the initial assessment through to practical implementation, we aim to ensure that the subsidy delivers real and lasting value to your business.
Comprehensive HR and Labour Management Support
OngoingWe provide comprehensive HR and labour management support throughout the entire employment cycle, from recruitment to retirement. In particular, we have extensive knowledge of how to prepare and make effective use of job postings through Hello Work, Japan’s public employment service, and we are confident in helping companies maximise the value of this recruitment channel. Our support goes beyond designing policies and systems. We also provide practical advice on day-to-day HR operations, helping business owners build a framework in which they do not have to face people-related challenges alone. We focus not only on documents and systems, but on the people behind them, and continue to support our clients over the long term through the realities of daily workplace management.
Harassment Consultation Desk Setup and Operational Support
Ongoing / One-offWe support companies in addressing harassment as an essential management issue, including power harassment, sexual harassment, and the increasingly important issue of harassment and abusive behaviour by customers and clients. From establishing a consultation desk and developing operational procedures to providing guidance on the initial response when a complaint arises, we help companies build a practical and effective framework. Simply setting up a consultation desk is not enough. We believe it only has real value when employees feel comfortable speaking up and management is able to respond appropriately. That is why we continue to provide ongoing support even after the system is established, helping ensure that it works effectively in day-to-day practice.
Labour Insurance Administrative Affairs Association Services
OngoingWe operate the Labour Insurance Administrative Affairs Association “Sawayaka Roumu” and provide timely and accurate support for labour insurance procedures, from the annual labour insurance renewal process to enrolment procedures for member businesses. In addition to reducing the administrative burden and uncertainty associated with these procedures, membership may also enable small business owners and certain self-employed workers who would not ordinarily be covered by workers’ compensation insurance to obtain coverage through Japan’s special enrolment system. Regardless of the size or structure of your business, we are committed to supporting a system that helps protect the safety and security of everyone who works.
Support for Foreign Business Owners and Entrepreneurs in Japan
Ongoing / One-offDrawing on nearly 20 years of hands-on international experience in my previous career, including work in Thailand, the United States, Taiwan, China, India, Mexico and the United Kingdom, we provide attentive and practical support for foreign business owners and entrepreneurs in Japan. We explain the complex procedures, registrations and filing requirements involved in starting and running a business in Japan in clear, easy-to-understand terms. With an end-to-end support system that allows you to leave the administrative details to us, we provide multilingual assistance ranging from day-to-day communication to the preparation of HR and labour management reports.
Support for Hiring and Integrating Foreign Workers
Ongoing / One-offWe provide comprehensive support for companies employing foreign workers, including Specified Skilled Workers and Technical Intern Trainees, from day-to-day HR and labour management after they join the company to creating a workplace where they can feel secure and perform at their best. We also provide practical, attentive support in addressing misunderstandings that can arise from differences in language, culture and daily customs, always with a strong focus on the realities of the workplace.
Support for Fee-Charging Employment Placement Business Licence Applications
One-offWe support companies considering entry into the recruitment and employment placement business with applications for a Fee-Charging Employment Placement Business Licence. From organising the business plan and preparing the required documents to submitting the application to the Regional Labour Bureau, we carefully guide you through each step while confirming the relevant legal and administrative requirements. Obtaining the licence is an important first step in launching your employment placement business. We provide responsible and thorough support to help ensure that you can take that first step with confidence and certainty.
General Advisory Support for Business Owners
OngoingBusiness owners often carry their concerns alone. Many face worries and uncertainties they cannot easily share with employees and sometimes simply need someone to listen. We want to be more than advisers on systems, regulations and numbers—we want to be a trusted presence that listens carefully to the thoughts and concerns of each business owner. Whether your concern is related to HR and labour matters or not, please feel free to talk to us. As a local partner that has stood alongside businesses through both good times and difficult ones, we will continue to listen, support and stay close to the people who lead them.
