Digital transformation of back-office operations
We can support the digital transformation of your back-office operations by reviewing and streamlining the processes of your daily back-office workflow, including bookkeeping and payroll.
HR and accounting staff members with the knowledge of Japan’s accounting and tax standards, in addition to labour laws and employment tax, are essential for global companies looking to establish a physical presence in Japan. However, it is not easy to hire local personnel with knowledge in these areas who can also work seamlessly together with global team members.
In light of labour shortages in Japan, as well as frequent legal changes, the number of companies outsourcing their back-office operations, such as accounting and payroll, has been steadily increasing in recent years.
PwC Outsourcing Services LLC provides global corporations with one-stop outsourcing services from bookkeeping to payroll and payment processing, in both Japanese and English. Allocate your valuable human resources to your core business while PwC supports your back-office functions.
Especially for foreign corporations that are looking to start operations in Japan, PwC Outsourcing Service LLC provides comprehensive support in collaboration with professional teams experienced in transfer pricing, tax law, and legal matters.
