Minoru HIROOKA  Auditor

Assisting Hard-Working Entrepreneurs

 TEP's membership includes veteran executives and expert supporters who assist unique entrepreneurs. We have found through experience in helping startups that enterprises find it hard to grow by leaving things up to others. Entrepreneurs must themselves be strong-willed for their businesses to keep growing. I would like entrepreneurs to take full advantage of TEP's resources in moving forward. TEP is thus unstinting in its support. As an auditor, I seek to contribute to TEP's healthy operations while offering solid support for the growth of startups.
