Director's Message

Junichi Naganawa

At Aoyama Sogo Accounting Singapore (ASA), we are proud to be recognized as one of the leading Japanese accounting firms in Singapore, supporting a diverse portfolio of Japanese and international clients.

In recent years, as Japanese companies increasingly expand overseas in response to prolonged domestic economic stagnation, Singapore has become a key strategic hub. We also support Singapore-based multinational corporations investing in Japan, particularly in business and real estate. In both cases, our clients operate on a global scale—and we are seeking professionals who can provide the high-quality support these cross-border enterprises demand.

We believe that joining ASA is more than just a career move,it is an opportunity to grow alongside a dynamic and globally minded team, and to make a meaningful impact in the international business landscape.
