Empowering IT Firm Owners with Premier Financial Advice and Tax Expertise

Not Your Mom's Financial Advisor: Standard Financial Planning for IT Firm Owners Will Fail!

At Ando Arashi, we are committed to providing high quality advice and guidance to IT Firm Owners who need help with financial planning and tax preparation. We are independent and fee-only, which means we do not sell any financial products or receive any commissions. We work solely for our clients, not for any third-party interests.

Our Story

More From Andrew:

Growing up in a middle-class family, I learned to appreciate every dollar and save for the future. I was fascinated by how money affects our mindset and behavior. I dreamed of becoming a personal finance expert after college, but fate had other plans. When 9/11 happened, I felt a strong urge to serve my country. I joined the US Navy and spent twenty years working on business operations and budget planning, and moving all over the globe (including Japan). Now I'm back to my passion of helping people achieve their financial goals. We are specializing in serving IT Firm Owners because standard financial planning and tax advice does not cover your unique needs. We are ready to serve you with our expertise and enthusiasm!

More From Ai:

Born and raised in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, my family didn’t have much money, but my parents never made us feel poor or less important. They raised my two siblings and me in a lively home that was always filled with guests all day, every day 365. Growing up, I never thought about investing or saving; I only knew how to trade time for money through hard work, living paycheck-to-paycheck. I still don’t fully understand the concept of compounding wealth, but Andrew is teaching me a new approach to building wealth through investing.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us, even if you’re not familiar with investing or saving—just like me!
