How this provider compares
Final global workbook scores. How we score ↗
Consider it for
Employers hiring in Japan who need English and Japanese guidance and local employment oversight.
Main trade-off
The operative MSA, worker IP, minimums and statutory exit allocation were not available.
Country fit & local delivery
Managed Consultant Services presents Kreston as the Japanese legal employer. The overseas client directs work while Kreston retains ongoing employment oversight, including working conditions and day-to-day activities. One employee is accepted and Japan-wide availability is subject to role and legal eligibility. Kreston Global network membership does not establish owned EOR coverage outside Japan.

No private quote, signed EOR contract, outreach or operational trial. Provider claims are not independent delivery verification. Search absence does not prove absence of incidents.
Onboarding visas
Provider says onboarding can take a few days when the worker already has appropriate work rights. Visa support is separately assessed; professional-status eligibility and immigration approval can extend timelines. Public claims and positive visa accounts do not guarantee approval.

No numeric quote, FX spread, deposit/prefund amount or refund schedule was found. Directory headline pricing and zero-onboarding claims are not adopted over the primary fee structure.

Support & accountability
English/Japanese support and named specialists are described.

Privacy-office weekday hours are not an EOR support SLA. No binding urgent-resolution times found.

Employee data & security
Privacy statement effective 8 September 2026 names Kreston ProWorks Corp and refers to APPI/GDPR where applicable, international network/cloud processing and relevant safeguards.

Business stability & track record
About page distinguishes Kreston ProWorks Corp from independently managed tax and HR professional firms. JETRO’s June 2026 directory record supports a Tokyo business established in 2007 offering accounting/payroll and related services; it is not an EOR licence or audited-solvency record. Network size and firm age do not independently establish current payroll continuity or EOR delivery quality.
