報酬の目安

Our firm's fees are determined based on the number of days occupied for performing the work (occupied days), regardless of the nature of the work. The daily rate is the rate published on this website. Therefore, we can determine the number of days per month according to your request. Please note that if additional expenses such as travel and transportation costs are incurred, those expenses will be added to the fee amount. Consumption tax will also be added separately.（上表の日当は、外国のお客様のための国内業務と海外出張および日本のお客様のための海外出張に適用されます。）

For medium-to-long-term contracts, it is possible to establish a fixed monthly fee by setting a provisional number of working days (occupied days) per month. This method involves entering into a medium-to-long-term contract based on a pre-agreed provisional number of working days, assuming some fluctuation in the monthly workload. For example, if the provisional number of working days is set at 4 days, the actual number of working days in a given month may be 5 days or 3 days. This contract method is based on both parties accepting this fluctuation. With this approach, monthly labor management becomes unnecessary for both parties. (Hereafter, this contract method will be referred to as the “Medium-to-Long-Term Contract with Pre-determined Provisional Days”.)

The “Occupancy Days” in the table above represent the total number of days for office work, travel, visits, business trips, meetings, and other duties. The Absence Fee method is used to calculate occupancy days. For the meaning of “Absence Fee,” please refer to the separate section on this page.

Except for the “Medium-to-Long-Term Contract with Pre-Determined Provisional Days” described above, if work (absence) of 4 hours or more but less than 8 hours occurs in a single day, it is counted as “one day.” If only 2 hours or more but less than 4 hours of work (absence) occurs in a single day, it is counted as “half a day.” If work exceeds 8 hours in a single day, it will be counted as a separate day.

Except for the case of a “medium-to-long-term contract with a predetermined provisional number of days” as described above, if the actual number of days occupied exceeds the predetermined number of days specified at the time of contract, we will add the predetermined daily rate, provided that both parties agree in advance on the additional costs, except in emergencies.

Except for the aforementioned “mid-to-long-term contracts with pre-determined provisional days,” if the number of participants, excluding personnel from our office, reaches 10 or more and the event is deemed a seminar conducted by our instructor, the fee structure for ‘Corporate Group Seminars/Lectures’ below shall apply.

Travel expenses, accommodation fees, and other incidental costs will be required separately in accordance with the details stated on this page. Additionally, work performed between December 31st and January 3rd, and overseas business trips, will incur separate charges.

The standard contract types are Advisory Contracts and Consultant Contracts. For Advisory Contracts, we will work as a member of your company under a title such as “Advisor,” “Technical Advisor,” or “Advisory Engineer,” as designated by your company. For Consultant Contracts, we will provide impartial advice and guidance from an external, third-party perspective. Other contract types may be discussed upon request. For one-time engagements, a service contract is also possible. The fee amount is determined based on the number of days occupied (travel and transportation expenses are separate), regardless of the contract type.

Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the work performed by our office is governed by the provisions of a “mandate contract” as defined in Article 643 of the Civil Code. Please understand that the contract between our office and you is not a “contract for work” (Article 632 of the Civil Code), where payment is based on the delivery of a completed product. (Generally, work under a contract for work requires full dedication to the contracted tasks, resulting in a higher number of monthly working days compared to a mandate contract. However, if scheduling permits, we can accept such arrangements.)

We will first explain and discuss the contract terms with you. Work will generally commence after the contract is signed. Furthermore, unless specific work arises before the contract is signed, no fees will be charged for the period prior to signing. If work occurs before the contract is signed, we will proceed only after obtaining your understanding and consent. (In some cases, to reduce the effort for both parties, you can contract by email correspondence.)

For meetings conducted in languages other than Japanese, you must arrange for an interpreter who can facilitate the meeting without hindrance. Alternatively, we can arrange an interpreter for a fee. (If the meeting proceeds without significant issues, a student part-time interpreter is acceptable.)

Remote meetings will utilize the meeting host account of either party.

We decline work that violates laws or ethics, or deviates from common sense.
