M&A Advisor Mitsuki Consulting Partners with Certified Public Accountants Cooperative

Mitsuki Consulting Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Tsuyoshi Kando) has recently formed a business alliance with the Certified Public Accountants Cooperative (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Toshio Aoki). Through this partnership, the company will further strengthen its M&A support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by receiving referrals of business owners considering selling their companies from CPA members nationwide.

Background of the Partnership

The Certified Public Accountants Cooperative is a cooperative organization that develops a wide range of businesses useful for practical work for its CPA members, such as business support, seminar guidance, book sales, and introduction to various affiliated services.

Our company has specialized in supporting M&A transactions for SMEs, utilizing the financial and tax expertise cultivated as certified public accountants.

The purpose of this partnership is to prepare a more reliable option for member CPAs to introduce when their advisory clients are considering business succession or company sale.

Characteristics of Our Company

As an accounting firm-affiliated M&A advisory company, we emphasize the following points:

- Responses based on financial and tax expertise as certified public accountants - Nuanced project progression based on the perspective unique to CPAs - A secure support system with a full success fee system for sellers - Practical coordination with member CPAs as needed

M&A is not just a transaction, but an important phase where the seller's future, employees' employment, relationships with business partners, and tax and accounting issues are intricately intertwined. In such phases, our company will sincerely and carefully support clients by leveraging our perspective as certified public accountants.

Future Initiatives

Through this partnership, we will provide high-quality M&A advisory services to member CPAs nationwide and their clients. Going forward, through the network of the Certified Public Accountants Cooperative, we will provide consistent support from initial consultation to closing for owners considering selling their companies, contributing to smooth business succession for SMEs.
