Contexo Mobility Enters into Strategic Alliance Agreement with Sekiyama Tax in Japan

Aug. 17, 2018 - PRLog -- Contexo Global Mobility Solutions & Tax Consulting Limited ("Contexo Mobility") and Sekiyama U.S. Tax Consulting LLC ("Sekiyama Tax") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a strategic alliance agreement in July 2018. The scope of cooperation and collaboration under this agreement shall include various compliance, consulting, and HR support services such as U.S. expatriate tax, expatriate compensation and benefits, international payroll, policy development, and global mobility operations.

"We are excited about our strategic alliance with Sekiyama Tax, which will not only strengthen our coverage in Greater China and Japan but also add breadth and depth to the world-class experience our firms bring to individual and corporate clients in the field of expatriate tax and global mobility," said Jensen Leung, Founder and Managing Director of Contexo Mobility.  He added that "our target market segment of SME's growing internationally often lack internal resources and consulting budgets to stay compliant with the myriad of unfamiliar regulations, including those involving Short-Term Business Visitors (STBV), and best harness global mobility cost effectively as a holistic strategic corporate initiative; they will benefit from the competitive pricing of our service offerings and the proven successes Sekiyama-san and I have in structuring and delivering compliance and strategically-aligned solutions to support companies across the world at various stages of their development."

Satoshi Sekiyama, Founder and President of Sekiyama Tax, said "I am very grateful that we can collaborate with Contexo Mobility and re-unite with Jensen. I used to work with Jensen on his team in one of the Big Four accounting firms and know he has strong technical skills and a diverse set of experience. I am now working in Tokyo as a U.S. CPA and believe this alliance between our Hong Kong and Tokyo offices will be advantageous to both our clients and our businesses."
