Clients & Case Studies
Trusted by foreign-invested companies and international businesses across Korea
Bricks Insight has built a strong track record serving the full lifecycle needs of international businesses in Korea — from initial entity setup and compliance to ongoing audit and advisory. Our clients range from multinational subsidiaries to venture-backed startups and mission-driven non-profits.
We understand that international clients require more than just technical accuracy — they need a partner who communicates clearly, meets deadlines, and proactively flags issues before they become problems. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every engagement.

Selected Case Studies
Client names and identifying details are kept confidential. The following summaries illustrate representative engagements.
External Audit — Korean Subsidiary of a US Technology Company
We conducted the statutory external audit for the Korean subsidiary of a US-headquartered software company. The engagement required close coordination with the parent company's finance team to align Korean GAAP financial statements with group reporting under US GAAP. We delivered audit opinions on schedule, enabling timely consolidation at the parent level and satisfying Korean regulatory filing requirements.

Tax Compliance Setup — Newly Established Japanese Subsidiary
Following entity registration in Korea, a Japanese company engaged Bricks Insight to establish its full tax compliance framework. We advised on the appropriate accounting structure, registered the entity for all applicable Korean taxes, prepared the initial corporate tax return, and provided transfer pricing documentation to support inter-company transactions with the Japanese parent. All deliverables were provided in English to facilitate review by the parent company's tax team in Japan.

Government R&D Subsidy Settlement — Foreign-Invested Manufacturer
A foreign-invested manufacturing company received a government-funded R&D subsidy and was required to submit a settlement audit before the grant could be formally closed. Bricks Insight performed the settlement audit in accordance with government guidelines, verified that expenditures were properly classified and documented, and submitted the final audit report to the relevant ministry. Our client successfully completed the settlement without adjustments, preserving eligibility for future grants.
