Accounting Process Improvement & Outsourcing

The spread of remote work during COVID-19 accelerated the implementation of cloud systems, standard process, and IT security. As a result, many companies outsourced routine accounting tasks.
USJP supports the evaluation of outsourcing options for accounting functions, vendor selection, and transition processes. We help implement optimized outsourcing models—for example, assigning routine tasks to cost-effective offshore partners and assigning tasks requiring detailed analysis or communication with Japan HQ to domestic partners—achieving required quality at appropriate cost.

Contract CFO Services

We assist with specialized CFO- and controller-level functions such as financial close, profitability analysis, and external audit coordination.
USJP’s U.S.-based consultants and bilingual Japanese staff take on these responsibilities and support the resolution of issues related to accounting policy, financial processes, ERP systems, and interdepartmental coordination. We supplement the skills of both expats and local finance teams to strengthen financial operations and support the stable evolution of strategic finance functions.

Business Process Improvement & Outsourcing

By leveraging AI and outsourced services, companies can improve efficiency in areas like order management, logistics, and customer service. While many Japanese companies are strong in improving manufacturing and distribution operations, administrative functions often remain inefficient. USJP supports process improvement tailored to the client’s business scale and style. As a project leader or advisor, we assist client to drive transformation.

J-SOX Evaluation and Rationalization

We work closely with HQ internal audit teams and external auditors in Japan and the U.S. to independently assess entity-level controls, process-level controls, and IT controls under J-SOX. When deficiencies are found, we help implement corrective actions. If J-SOX efforts place a heavy burden on frontline staff, we coordinate with HQ and external auditors to streamline evaluations—through scope adjustments, automated controls, and improved methodologies.

Internal Audit Services

For companies lacking internal audit resources for overseas locations, USJP conducts internal audits of U.S. entities on their behalf. When there are concerns about compliance, fraud, or quality, we assign auditors with relevant expertise. We can also support HQ-led on-site audits and collaborate with local staff to resolve issues identified through audits.
