Simon Johnson

About
My name is Simon Johnson and I'm a Tokyo-based Finance & Accounting Headhunter with over 18 years of recruiting experience in the Japan market.

I help manufacturing, consumer goods, and healthcare/pharmaceutical companies who understand the unique difficulties of acquiring top talent in Japan find and hire Accounting, FP&A, and Audit professionals much better than your average recruiter who has only been in the market for 5 or even 10 years AND…

...I'll get the job done even if every recruiter you've worked with up until now gave up halfway through the search process after sending you only a couple of resumes because they said finding the right candidate was just "too difficult" or "taking too much time".

HERE'S MY QUICK STORY…

I'm a native New Yorker who served in the US military for three years and then worked as a public official for the state of NY for two years. Afterwards, I first came to Japan on an academic scholarship to attend Kanazawa University. After finishing my studies in 1999, I decided the exciting world of headhunting would be the perfect fit for my fast-talking and aggressive New York personality and decided to jump in with both feet. I haven't looked back since.

I am currently the Director of the Finance & Accounting Division at Exentive Inc., a boutique executive search and HR consulting firm located smack dab in the heart of Tokyo in an area called Shinjuku.

I am very selective and don't work with just anyone but if we do decide to enter into a professional partnership with each other, you can consider it a life-long relationship that will give you access to my deep network of finance and accounting professionals that I've built up and nurtured over many long years.

If you've got a key finance position that you need to fill urgently and you want me to immediately start tapping into my deep network of finance candidates, contact me at Simon@exentive.jp .
