Testimonials

Akira is a very service-minded professional who specializes in M&A and North America business practices.

When we invited Akira to a Deloitte internal training program as a guest speaker, he explained how companies look at a financial due diligence report based on his experiences in the investments department and CFO, which was a very eye-opening moment for all Deloitte members. He also delegated me to take lead English interviews overseas with trust. That experience led to my growth as a M&A professional.

Akira also supported Deloitte Japan members from overseas when he was seconded to Deloitte New York and Toronto. He explained various local practices and connected us with the Deloitte local teams. He has strong relationships with local Japanese networks in New York and Toronto.

In the accounting aspect, he had looked after a large USGAAP company in Japan when he was in Deloitte. Accounting questions raised from the client were generally very complicated with a tight timeline, but Akira respectfully communicated with the client and managed the client’s expectations. He also entrusted some of the complicated tasks to me and I was able to be highly motivated to work with him.

I will highly recommend Akira Mizoguchi to those who are looking for Japanese – English professionals in Toronto and the East Coast.
