Reason for Hiring

Fast Retailing aims to become the world leader in the apparel industry by creating a new industry—the “Information Manufacturing and Retail Industry”—through “LifeWear.”
Under this mid-term plan, accounting, finance, and tax operations have become increasingly complex. The mission of the Domestic Tax Manager is to work with relevant departments to drive improvements aimed at enhancing management efficiency from a tax perspective. In addition to the typically expected tasks—such as handling tax filings for domestic subsidiaries and consolidated tax returns—the role requires tax expertise and risk management skills, including the reorganization of accounting rules and business processes to meet tax requirements, as well as providing thorough guidance to related departments.

In the domestic tax domain, while prioritizing the customer perspective—which is the cornerstone of Fast Retailing’s business—above all else, we will fully consider each candidate’s career path. By demonstrating a strong commitment to problem-solving, you will have the opportunity to gain dynamic work experience unlike anything you could find at other companies.By taking full responsibility for the Fast Retailing Group’s tax affairs, we believe this position offers candidates the opportunity to grow alongside the company—whether you come from a business background, where you’ll handle a wealth of issues not found at other firms, or from a tax accounting firm, where you’ll gain experience working on tax matters as a member of the company rather than as a client.

Department Overview

The Planning and Management Department supports the finance function—including business planning, accounting, finance, tax, BPR promotion, Digital Finance projects, and IR—and has a staff of approximately 130.
A key feature of our culture is the simple reporting structure—CFO → Department Head → Team Leader—which allows for direct, daily exchange of opinions and raising of issues not only horizontally but also vertically.
Another major feature is the wide range of opportunities for career advancement, which can happen quickly.
Transfers between teams within the Planning and Management Department, as well as between domestic and international locations, are common. Since the department encompasses all functions related to management metrics—including administration, accounting, finance, and tax—we can consider flexible transfers based on each employee’s abilities, preferences, and career plans.
