We Listen to Your Problems
Tax and accounting services in Korea all face the same communication issue - it is simply hard to find a licensed tax professional who speaks fluent English. Most licensed accountants in Korea rely on English translators, which can cause confusion and frustration. Even if you find a fluent English-speaking accountant, chances are high that the person is not certified by the Korean government.
