GPC is a Tokyo-based firm specialising in accounting, tax advisory and private equity fund-raising activities. They provide support to Japanese clients for IPO, M&A and restructuring and are experienced in J-GAAP/IFRS translation work.

Together with Censere's valuation and transaction support services we are able to offer seamless advice to Japanese firms looking to list in Singapore or Hong Kong and provide assistance for offshore M&A by Japanese clients.

For foreign firms seeking an entry to Japan we can also assist in M&A and Tokyo-Aim listing advice.

Our alliance with GPC is a major development for Censere and will see us opening a Representative Office in Tokyo to provide closer support to GPC and our mutual clients.
