Tax Accountant (Zeirishi) - Japan

GoGlobal is establishing an in-house tax capability in Japan. With a growing client base and existing outsourced providers at capacity, bringing this work in-house will improve service quality, continuity and economics. This role establishes and operates that capability.

This is a combined accounting and tax role rather than a tax-only position. The postholder prepares, reviews and — as a licensed Zeirishi — signs and seals Japanese tax returns, and also delivers bookkeeping, period-end closes and management accounts, providing practical advisory support to clients. Tax work is integrated with wider accounting delivery, not carried out in isolation.

Two positions are available, at Senior and Junior level, to provide cover, resilience and a route for progression, and to avoid a single point of failure. Together the postholders will establish and operate a Zeirishi Houjin (tax accountant corporation) under GoGlobal, reporting within the GoGlobal structure and locally to the Japan Country Lead.

The role is stable and compliance-focused and is suited to a technically strong professional who values accurate, on-time recurring delivery and the position of trusted local expert.
