Fees

What shapes an audit fee

We quote after a scoping call. The figures below are guidance so finance directors can budget — not a menu that pretends every ledger is identical.

Statutory financial audit

From ¥1,800,000

Fixed engagement fee for a single-entity company with one inventory location and orderly prior-year files. Multi-subsidiary groups and first-year audits are quoted higher after we review entity charts and warehouse sites.

Compliance readiness review

From ¥480,000

Or a daily rate when the scope is a short visit plus a written gap list. Useful the year before a first statutory opinion.

Inventory observation

From ¥95,000 / day

Per site day including travel within Yamaguchi Prefecture. Additional cold-store or night counts are scheduled separately.

Estimate factors we ask about

  • Number of legal entities and consolidation needs
  • Revenue and inventory materiality
  • Number of warehouses or production floors to observe
  • Quality of reconciliations and prior auditor files
  • Whether related-party or overseas subsidiaries complicate confirmations

Deposits and billing

Statutory audits usually require a planning deposit of 30% on signing the engagement letter, with the balance due on report delivery. Narrow reviews may be billed on completion. Agreed-upon procedures are quoted against the locked procedure list.

What we do not offer

Monthly software subscriptions, packaged “starter / professional / enterprise” tiers, or fixed prices for undefined scopes. If your need is bookkeeping or tax filing only, we will say so and decline the audit engagement.
