Message from the CEO
Our vision is to become the most trusted accounting and advisory firm in the world. To realize this vision, we aim to increase the quality of life and financial wellbeing of all of our stakeholders, including our valued clients, dedicated employees, and essential partners.
As we enter 2025, many Japanese companies are facing economic headwinds domestically, generating an immense sense of eagerness for overseas expansion. Fortunately, through ASTHOM Partners—our Japan-led accounting, tax, and advisory network—HLS Global is poised to provide an expanding array of services to help Japanese companies conduct business in more countries than ever before. We sincerely believe that supporting the success of Japanese companies abroad brings economic prosperity back home, which generates a higher quality of life for all associated with Japan.
Our accomplishments as well as our aspirations are only possible due to the entrepreneurial spirit of our incredible employees and the profound bonds we share with our partners and clients. This year, once again, we invite you to play a significant role in bringing the HLS Global vision to life.
