A Robust Three-Desk Framework

The addition of the Korean Desk completes a strategic trio of regional desks, including our established China and Europe Desks. This framework allows us to deliver specialized regional knowledge backed by the power of the RSM global network.

 

1. Korean Desk (Newly Established)
Specializing in Japan-Korea projects, this desk provides support based on seamless communication in Korean, Japanese, and English. We identify areas where judgment or practices often diverge between the two countries at an early stage and drive projects forward, including consensus-building among stakeholders.

Service Examples:

  • Practical back-office support for Japanese companies expanding into Korea (from setup to operation).
  • Operational design for Korean companies entering Japan (allocation of roles between HQ and Japan, establishment of operational systems).
  • Resolution of contract, billing, and tax issues in Japan-Korea transactions (implementing them into functional workflows).

 

2. China Desk
Specializing in projects involving the Greater China region (Mainland China, Hong Kong, etc.), this desk provides support in Chinese, English, and Japanese. We manage projects by bridging the gap between Japanese operational requirements and the unique speed and business customs of the Greater China region.

Service Examples:

  • Operational setup for Greater China companies entering Japan (accounting, tax, labor, and legal design).
  • Management of the Japanese side for groups including China and Hong Kong (reporting, governance, and risk assessment).
  • Practical operation of cross-border transactions (preparation of contracts, billing, and internal processes).

3. Europe Desk
Specializing in European projects (including those spanning multiple countries), this desk provides support primarily in English. Even for cases where premises vary by country, we provide flexible services to organize the issues and keep the project moving forward.

Service Examples:

  • Practical coordination of group projects involving multiple European countries (determining which country’s standards to prioritize and what should be unified).
  • Design and operational support for reporting/governance between European HQs and Japanese subsidiaries.
  • Initial setup for European companies entering Japan (back-office standardization and operational design).
