WHAT
PEOPLE SAY
ABOUT US?

We have been working with ProWorks for years. Their services are highly appreciated, by our local subsidiary, as well as our head office back in Denmark. What we treasure the most is their understanding of our needs, and the ability to convey complex domestic regulations in a simple, understandable way. Also, on several occasions, they have suggested process improvements, which might reduce their own service time spent. A partner to be trusted, we are happy to recommend them.

ProWorks Japan helped our company get its start in Japan over 6 years ago. Since that time ProWorks has helped our business to grow from 2 people to now over 50 and has always provided the critical outsourced services we have needed. They always go above and beyond to give us outstanding service and have turned into a very trusted partner.

Our business in Japan is growing. While there was regional support, it was time to introduce a disciplined Human Resources professional locally to partner with our people, build leadership capability and ensure the culture of the organisation evolved as the company grew. We reached out to PROWORKS Japan – On-site HR Services because their model provided flexibility, access to experienced resources and a quick and easy process which meant value could be realised immediately. As we continue to work through a change program, an independent partner has been of benefit and we have made great progress towards our people goals.

I needed a place to work when I was in town locally and away from my law practice in Oakland, California. I used ProWorks for nearly two years and was extremely pleased with the accommodations, pleasant staff, and prime location!

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. The ProWorks Ala Moana Center for Business has saved me. I run a videography business and work from home. They have provided a clean and convenient place for me to conduct business with clients at an affordable price. I’ve been unable to find anyone who can compare. Cheers to you!

If you are in need of an office for your small business, this is the office for you. As a virtual office goes, The ProWorks Ala Moana Center for Business provides everything you need, and more.Space and AmenitiesThe space itself is fantastic. The reception area is beautiful and is the first thing you see when you get off the elevator…..it’s the one place you ‘want’ to walk into even if you are not going there…..it’s very inviting. Next to the reception desk, there is the board room. It is medium sized, perfect for a meeting of 4-6 people. You will find that not only the space and amenities are fantastic, but the staff and location make this office a premier spot, and an extremely good value.5 stars

I was recommended to Kreston ProWorks to help with hiring staff in Japan for my company which is based in UK. They are able to take care of many HR activities such as payroll, tax, onboarding, even handled the work visa application. I also used their visa consultation service to obtain advice on complicated matters. They have staff that specialises in different areas such as HR, Visa, Accounting, as well as English translators. I think like with most Japanese companies, the setup process can take some time because they need to make sure things are done properly. But once they start working, they are very efficient. One thing to be mindful of if you are outside of Japan is the time difference. KPW works according to Japan working hours, so there may be some delay with communications especially if the time difference is large. I would highly recommend Kreston ProWorks to anyone that needs help with establishing a business in Japan. Especially those who are outside of Japan because they are experts in local law, hiring and immigration law; and can guide you through the process.

We've chosen Kreston as our partner for opening our office and handling our accountancy, financial reporting, payslip etc. in Japan. We'd like to highlight their professional approach and guidance. The team provides all the details in advance, they are very meticulous and detail oriented (very important in Japan). They keep going continuously for an extra mile and provided all needed support with our COE and visa supporting document. Go to partner, recommended!

I had a problem with a Japanese Immigration issue. I was told by one of Kreston's experts that they could not assist me but gave me some great advice as to what I could do myself. The wonderful part was I was not charged! In the past I have sought legal counsel, was charged, and then told they could not help me. My experience with Kreston was a refreshing breath of fresh air!! A truly professional, honest organization with excellent and timely communication in my opinion.
