For foreign investors in Korea, we are your best local partner — combining international
quality standards with local market expertise.
Every day, somewhere in the world, tax and financial regulations and treaties change. Strategies that reduced taxes yesterday may not work today. New opportunities to save money could be missed – especially as you enter new markets. The talented staff in your organization might not have time to keep up with each nuance. Your current advisor may think your company is too small for personal attention, or they may simply be too small to serve you.
Successful companies consider tax and financial implications before they make business decisions, so they do not have to pay more than their legal obligation. This makes international corporate compliance, consulting, and structuring a crucial element in your global strategy.
