An Open and Honest Point of View about Deloitte Mobility

Soichiro Kato
Risk Advisory | Japan to China (Long Term Assignment)

I joined Deloitte in Japan in 2005 after I graduated from university and Passed CPA exam, and I belonged to the Audit function in the first five or six years. After that, I wanted to work abroad in older to support Japanese companies which are doing business in foreign countries, therefore I began to work in Deloitte Taiwan Taipei office through Deloitte’s Global Mobility Program(GMP).

From 2012 to 2017, as a manager of Japanese Services Group in Taiwan, I worked with many Japanese companies to help them grow and develop. After I came back to Japan and spending a year in RA Osaka office, I got a chance to work in abroad again through Deloitte’s GMP and have belonged to Deloitte China Beijing office since last November. The work in Beijing office is very challenging and interesting for me, and I'm proud to be able to work in Beijing with Chinese colleagues and our client.

China is a country which has a very long history, so I also like traveling to cities in Mainland China. I have been to Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Tianjin, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an so far, but there are still many attractive places where I want to visit during this secondment period.
