Collaborating with next-generation business leaders
to grow startups and innovate society
Many of Japan’s largest companies were startups only a few decades ago. They raised capital through IPOs to lay the foundation for further development and support their growth. The business environment is now changing at an astonishing pace due to advances in digital technology. At the center of this change are startups striving to introduce cutting-edge technology and challenge existing industries with new business models.
ES Next LLC is confident that next-generation growth companies will soon emerge from such startups to drive growth in the Japanese economy as they expand domestically and abroad. Our mission in capital markets is to audit startups seeking growth through IPOs and collaborate with tomorrow’s leaders to grow startups and innovate society.
COMMITMENT
01
We’re committed to high-quality audits.
All of our partners are former members of Big 4 firms with various audit experience from startup IPOs to statutory audits for large corporations. All are skilled at resolving the challenges that arise from social change and company growth. We provide high-quality audits based on extensive experience, deep understanding and flexible adaptation to changing business environments.
COMMITMENT
02
We use digital transformation for next-generation auditing.
In Japan, IT-enabled workstyle reform is improving work-life balance, securing workers in a shrinking workforce, and contributing to regional revitalization. Corporate management methods are also changing dramatically. We believe conventional audit methods will become increasingly inefficient and make it difficult to deal with new audit requirements in the near future. It is essential for companies seeking growth to implement new internal controls. By proactively adopting digital transformation in audit operations, we intend to innovate audit practices and provide more effective audit services.
COMMITMENT
03
We collaborate effectively to lead company growth.
Our partners and advisors possess not only auditing expertise, but also diverse knowledge and experience gained by serving as directors of growing companies, public underwriters at securities companies, etc. We lead company growth by providing practical advice on issues such as business planning, organizational structure and capital policy. We also contribute to IPO success by building trusting relationships with securities companies and other relevant parties through timely communication.
In this new era of digital platforms, ES Next LLC supports company leaders, entrepreneurs, new business operators and innovators who will lead the next generation in various fields. By providing professional support based on extensive experience, we are contributing to society.
