Japanese CPA - JICPA certified accountant

[Halei Agra]

Hello Bigger Pockets Members,

How can I find a JICPA certified accountant who speaks English? I live and work in Japan with the US government and my friends cannot relate to the personal finance steps I take as a US citizen. But, they do want to start investing in accounts similar to a ROTH IRA.

I want to ask a few questions to a Japanese CPA to better help the friends who are interested in investing.

@Halei Agra - Hi Halei.  Fellow Japan-based US investor here.  

If I understand your question, you're looking for an English-speaking Japanese "CPA" so that you can understand options for your Japanese/non-American friends, is that correct?  If so, does the Japanese CPA need to speak English?

In any event, DM me and I can refer you to my guy, although he can be very busy and slow to respond.

I'm taking the liberty of pinging @Daniel Mills and @Steven E. Quasha, both who live in Japan and use a Japanese CPA.  Tell them that if they don't share contact details, I'll sick my 7 year old them.

Separately, whenever you have time I'd love to chat and hear about how you invest from Japan - always looking for new and better ideas.

Hope to speak soon.
