About Kouzou Hanada
A company changes a little every year: its people, products, technology and owner. Yet we may still think of it as the same company.
For tax accountant Kouzou Hanada, the monthly figures are a way to notice that change. Where is the business heading? Is its map still useful? What needs to be reconsidered so that the ship can keep sailing ten years from now?
Our aim is to make those questions visible and give owners sound material for their decisions. The tax accountant remains responsible for professional tax advice; the owner retains the choices about the business.
Reading, conversation and experiments with technology are part of that approach. They help us revisit assumptions, including our own.
