About

I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) licensed in Arizona with over 30 years of corporate finance experience across the United States, United Kingdom, and Japan. Throughout my career, I have led and advised multinational organizations on financial strategy, operations, and growth initiatives. My expertise spans strategic finance, budgeting, accounting, financial analysis, and long-term planning, helping businesses enhance their financial health and achieve sustainable growth.

In addition to my corporate finance background, I specialize in personal financial planning, including retirement planning, tax strategy, and estate planning. I am a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and its Personal Financial Planning (PFP) Section. I also hold various AICPA Personal Finance Certificates, including Retirement Planning, enabling me to offer clients tailored, comprehensive financial solutions.

My core strengths lie in strategic financial analysis and planning—for both corporations and individuals. I am passionate about developing comprehensive financial plans and processes that empower businesses and individuals to thrive and achieve their growth ambitions. I am also deeply committed to promoting financial literacy and regularly lead seminars and classes to help individuals build financial independence.

Educated in Japan, the UK, and the United States, I remain intellectually curious and continuously stay informed on the ever-evolving financial landscape, including changes in laws and regulations that impact financial well-being. Fluent in both Japanese and English, I bring a global perspective to my work, effectively bridging cultural and linguistic gaps. This allows me to deliver clear, strategic guidance to a diverse range of clients.

Originally from Osaka, Japan, I have a deep appreciation for Japanese cuisine and hot springs. I enjoy traveling the world to explore diverse culinary traditions. In my free time, I am passionate about nature and love skiing and spending time outdoors.
