XPECT provides professional accounting, tax, and advisory services. We exist to have a positive impact, to pursue professional excellence, and to support the enduring success of our clients and our employees and business partners.
XPECT is striving to become a professional firm of the future. With that said, we think the following characteristics will define the successful professional firm of the future:
- Prioritizing relationships

- Continuous improvement
At XPECT, our logo represents more than just a brand—it embodies our vision for the future of our firm.
Our logo presents an image of a red-crowned crane. The red-crowned crane is considered a symbol of longevity and immortality and is associated with good fortune and prosperity in Japan and other nations of East Asia.
The distinctive design features the crane standing above the letter “E.” The three lines of the red “E” signify our dedication to our three primary stakeholder groups: our team, our clients, and our communities.
For XPECT, the goal is simple – helping privately-owned local and international businesses succeed and thrive.
We engage with two distinct market segments: one domestic and the other international.
Who We Serve
Domestic Focus
Our focus in domestic markets is on serving privately-owned businesses, entrepreneurs, and individuals. Our business clients in this category tend to be small to mid-size businesses with a focus on developing the business and sustaining growth while our individual clients tend to be entrepreneurs and individuals near or at retirement. Key services in this category include outsourced accounting services, tax advisory services, state and local tax compliance, and attest services.
International Focus
Our primary focus in international markets is serving Japanese-owned subsidiaries operating in the United States. XPECT has served Japanese businesses since inception in 2019, and our founding member has provided accounting and advisory services to Japanese businesses for more than 20 years. We provide a number of services designed to support Japanese businesses in the United States. Key services in this category include expatriate tax services, J-SOX compliance services, payroll gross ups, state and local tax services, withholding tax services, and financial reporting services.
