Leo Wealth has opened a new office in Tokyo in response to the growing demand for US tax solutions from global citizens.
US-based Leo Wealth has launched an office in Tokyo to provide tax planning and tax compliance solutions aimed at US expatriates and global citizens in Japan as well as the broader Asia Pacific region, according to a statement. The new office will specifically focus on US income tax preparation and planning, tax compliance, and cross-border inheritance tax planning and tax-efficient outcomes.
Former PwC tax specialist and Leo Wealth managing director Thomas Y. Lu will oversee the Japan office’s operations and business development in Tokyo and other markets in the region. Fellow ex-PwC colleagues Ham Cheong and Jonathan Berry will also join the office as tax directors.
«The new Leo Wealth Tokyo team brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our in-house tax capabilities, that advances our ability to customize engagements to help clients manage short-term tax objectives alongside intermediate and long-term wealth management goals,» said Leo Wealth president Jessica Cutrera.
