# Personal Contacts: Visa Specialists, Accountants and Tax Advisors

The community shared several personal contacts for visa and accounting help, along with reference pricing. Administrative scriveners (gyosei shoshi) mentioned with positive feedback include a Kyoto-based consultant specializing in business visas. Other personal contacts include an English-speaking accountant based in Yokohama, a possible tax-advisor option (no feedback available from the community), and a tax consulting firm mentioned without a detailed assessment. For finding a tax advisor (zeirishi) independently, freee runs a search service for accounting advisors, and both freee's and Yayoi's blogs break down typical pricing for zeirishi services. A rough reference price shared in the chat for a gyosei shoshi drafting a business plan and filing a startup-visa application was 30,000 yen upfront plus 70,000 yen on success, against a typical market rate of around 100,000 yen.
