EOS History

EOS has been serving Japanese owned companies doing business in the U.S. since its formation in 1996. Our firm was established through the transfer of a segment of Ernst & Young’s Japanese business practice. We currently have approximately 150 employees working in our nine locations throughout the U.S. and Japan. As we work primarily with businesses investing and operating in the U.S., we are able to focus our resources to better meet the needs of our clients and aim to provide a more hands-on approach to client service. EOS provides a full range of services including, but not limited to, attestation (audit, review, and compilation), corporate and individual tax, bookkeeping and payroll support.

Originally based in Teaneck, New Jersey, in 2014, we relocated our headquarters to Hackensack, New Jersey to accommodate our growing company. In addition to serving as our headquarters, the New Jersey Office serves our East Coast clients. As we gained traction, we established our first Silicon Valley Office in 1999 in San Jose followed by the establishment of our Los Angeles Office in March 2003. In December of 2003, we opened our Honolulu Office and in October of 2006, added our second Silicon Valley Office in San Mateo. Together, the San Jose, Los Angeles, Honolulu, and San Mateo Offices serve our West Coast clients. Our Detroit Office opened its doors in February 2007 and our Chicago Office was established in June 2010 to serve our Mid-West area clients. In 2012, we opened our Tokyo Representative Office to liaison with the headquarters of our Japanese-owned clients. In 2014, we opened our Houston Office to serve our clients in Texas and surrounding areas.

In 1996, EOS began with three Partners and four employees. In the 20 years since then, our business and size have expanded as well as our service capabilities. Today, there are 19 Partners and Principals and about 150 employees firm-wide. We look forward to the continued support of our clients as we move beyond our 25th anniversary in 2021

Career Born in Fujian, China. Began working at EOS in October 2009.
Hobby Photography and running
Summary

I was educated in China and received an MA in material sciences and engineering from the University of Science and Technology, Beijing. However, my real interest was in accounting because I am, by nature, analytical and good with numbers. Once in the United States, I chose accounting as my career and earned a Master’s of Science in Accounting. Within six months, I passed the CPA exam and found I had a real passion for the subject. I believe accounting is the common language for all businesses and that there are countless opportunities for people with accounting backgrounds.

Why I Decided to Become an Auditor

Before joining the EOS team, I had no experience in accounting, but after a few years I gained enough experience and became a senior staff. I enjoy trouble-shooting and solving complex problems. I now lead my own audit team. Working closely with my colleagues, I look into issues, think about solutions and apply the best one as quickly as possible.
My work ethic is strong because I know my supervisors, clients and audit team all count on me. Auditing takes special skills because the accountant must work independently while keeping in touch with the client’s head office. I have to understand not only a company’s financial data, but also have a feel for its business and the industry in which it operates.
I believe I handle the daily pressures of our business and meet tough deadlines because I'm well organized, reliable, good at planning and efficient. I'm currently in charge of several mid-size clients in multiple locations. I also assist the tax department with some corporate tax work.

What Skills I Have Learned

When I started at EOS, my ambition was to become an audit manager within five years. I am on track to achieve this goal and am looking forward to advancing my career with EOS. In the coming years, I aim to expand my audit team and provide excellent service. Working here has allowed me to develop my skills and gain valuable experience rapidly. While working at EOS, I've polished the following skill sets: leadership, analytical, communication, research and problem solving.
Accounting is not a static discipline; change is inevitable, and I welcome the challenge of keeping up with new legislation and standards. I improve my skills by self-study and coursework. In my spare time, I enjoy photography and running. Photography fulfills my creative needs and running ensures physical fitness. Together they keep my personality in harmony.

Summary

I was born and raised in Southern California. I attended California State University, Long Beach in 2008 where I became an officer of the CSULB chapter of Beta Alpha Psi, an international honor organization for accounting, finance and information system students. During my senior year, I interned for a local CPA firm which I eventually earned a full time position for after I graduated in 2011. I gained experience in both taxation and auditing over the next 4 years while obtaining my CPA license in the state of California. In May of 2015, my wife and I moved to Hawaii to be closer to her family. Two days later, I began working for EOS.

Why I Decided to Become a Tax Professional

I gained a lot of experience in both tax and audit early in my career. I believe that having a background in either department makes you a stronger candidate for the other. The first two years of my career really made it tough to decide which route I wanted to go in as both sides had their pros and cons. Ultimately, I decided to stay in tax. I felt that enduring long hours away from home for projects that can last weeks at a time was not very conducive for raising a family. Additionally, having the satisfaction of completing a lot of smaller projects more often outweighed the satisfaction of completing a few large projects. I enjoy the advisory side of tax and the value added aspect it can bring to clients. I got into the profession with the intention of helping people and I felt that this was better accomplished in tax.

What Skills I Have Learned

As I mentioned earlier, having experience in both audit and tax has really helped me grow as a professional. From a tax perspective, I’ve touched on a large array of clientele including Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships and LLCs, high net-worth individuals, expatriates, nonresidents, and even a non-profit organization here and there. Even though each type of client is different and no two clients are the same, I’ve carried all sorts of concepts and logic from one client to the next. Whether it’s something technical or just learning how to interact with clients or colleagues, experience is the only way to effectively learn in this profession. The most important skill I needed to pick up was learning how to organize myself. There is no class or one-size-fits-all template on organization. I quickly realized how unorganized I was when I first started and how it really can hold you back. Finding a system that worked for me really propelled my career. Additionally, through my years of experienced, I’ve gained a level of proficiency in software and IT that I’ve been able to implement in everyday practice, improving office organization and workflow.

Why EOS?

I chose EOS because it has given me the freedom and the tools to master my craft. Shortly after starting at the Honolulu office, I was promoted to senior and was tasked with training and supervising the newer staff on developing their skills as tax professionals. Within 3 years, I have advanced to Tax Manager which confirms that EOS truly recognizes their employees’ efforts. I was given opportunities to further my knowledge of tax applications and implement new, efficient systems in an already established office while still maintaining flexibility with my personal life outside of the office. Everybody here is treated as a professional and has the freedom to take their career however they want. The opportunity for advancement is very real if the effort and drive are there. I believe that hard work deserves to be recognized and with EOS, I truly feel appreciated for what I do.
