Our Tax Accountant Referral Process

1.Inquiry & Consultation
We start by carefully listening closely to your needs and concerns. With over 4,700 registered firms and 440,000+ successful referrals over the past 30 years, we’re well equipped to help—even with concerns you haven’t been able to put into words.
Not sure if your current fees are appropriate or curious about market rates? Our dedicated Referral Coordinators are here to help.

Inquiry & Consultation

2.Selection & Appointment

Our coordinators will search for the most suitable tax accountant, office, or firm based on your needs. Unlike algorithms or surface-level matches, we take a more personalized approach. Our coordinators draw on real feedback, day-to-day client insights, and internal discussions to recommend the right accountant for you—based on personality, strengths, and communication style.

Once we’ve identified a promising match, we’ll arrange a meeting between you and the accountant at a mutually convenient time.

Selection & Appointment

3.Introductory Meeting

You’ll meet with the recommended accountant online or in person—to explore compatibility.
If you’d rather not bring up sensitive topics like fees or service scope yourself, our coordinators can help facilitate those conversations smoothly.

Introductory Meeting

4.Contract

If you’re satisfied with the accountant’s services, terms, and fees, you can proceed to sign a contract directly with them.

Even after the referral, you’re always welcome to reach out to us for further support. As coordinators, our role is to bring people together — to truly understand each client’s needs and each accountant’s qualities, and help build strong, lasting partnerships. We value the human “heart” of these relationships and will remain by your side as a trusted mediator whenever needed.

Tax Accountant Referral Case Studies

Case 1
Restaurant icon

Restaurant Owner (Sole Proprietor), Annual Revenue: ¥15 million

Monthly Advisory Fee
¥20,000
Year-End Filing Fee
¥100,000
Monthly Advisory Fee
¥10,000
Year-End Filing Fee
¥80,000
When I first started my business, I was focused entirely on making sales. I didn’t have time or the mental space to deal with bookkeeping. I had a tax accountant someone had referred to me, but we only exchanged documents once a year for filing. That was it. I started wondering: Was this service really worth the fee?
Then I found a different kind of support through VISCAS. The accountant I met there understood how chaotic things can be in the early stages of running a business. Instead of offering a standard package, they suggested a simple idea: “Let’s start by organizing your receipts.” They also offered a lower fee by reducing the frequency of contact. That flexibility gave me peace of mind—and permission to start small.
Over time, I’ve gone from avoiding accounting to becoming curious about it. For the first time, I feel like I’m building a real understanding of the numbers behind my business.
Successful reduction of advisory fees
through flexible engagement tailored to the clients’ situation!
Case 2

Web-Related Corporation, Annual Revenue: ¥100 million

Monthly Advisory Fee
¥30,000
Year-End Filing Fee
¥150,000
Monthly Advisory Fee
¥30,000
Year-End Filing Fee
¥150,000
Our previous accountant took a very hands-off approach. They weren’t unkind or unprofessional, but they never offered guidance unless we specifically asked for it. The problem was, we didn’t even know what to ask. With limited tax knowledge, we often felt unsure—but didn’t know where to begin.
Through VISCAS, we were introduced to a tax advisor who had extensive experience working with web-based businesses like ours. What stood out was how proactive they were. Instead of waiting for us to bring up issues, they’d say things like, “Other companies in your industry have been asking about XX—does that apply to you?” That kind of targeted support was exactly what we needed.
Even though we still use the same accounting software and submit data in the same way, the value we receive has completely changed. We now get practical, relevant advice and have much smoother communication. Our fees stayed the same—but the quality of service is on a different level.
Same advisory fees, but greatly improved service quality!
Case 3
Construction industry icon

Construction Corporation, Annual Revenue: ¥1 billion

Monthly Advisory Fee
¥70,000
Year-End Filing Fee
¥350,000
Monthly Advisory Fee
¥50,000
Year-End Filing Fee
¥250,000
After years of working with the same accountant from the previous management, we decided it was time for a change. Through VISCAS, we met a new tax accountant who was around our age, motivated, proactive, and eager to help us modernize our processes.
During our consultation, they offered a clear proposal: “If you stick with handwritten ledgers, your monthly fee will be ¥70,000. But if you switch to accounting software, we can lower it to ¥50,000.” The decision was easy.
Moving to digital bookkeeping not only reduced our monthly advisory fees, but also helped us better monitor our finances internally. Now, our accountant visits us every month to check for errors and offer timely advice. That ongoing support has allowed us to focus on running the business with peace of mind.
Even with the lower fees, we’ve implemented effective tax-saving strategies and significantly reduced our annual tax payments. It was a smart move—financially and operationally.
Fair pricing, regular monthly meetings, and effective tax-saving strategies!

Q

Is it better to hire a tax accountant near my location?

A

If you need frequent in-person meetings or often have to drop off documents by hand, working with a nearby office is usually more convenient. However, many tax accountants now offer digital document exchange and online consultations. As a result, even if the office is farther away, most clients focus on finding an accountant whose skills and approach best fit their needs.
