YUZU ALSP: Alternative Legal Services in Asia banner thinbanner

World class legal and finance talent at your fingertips

The Yuzu concept is fresh and simple: to support and enhance the value of your businesses in key strategic areas at the right time and in the right place. Short or long, on location or remote, it’s your choice, all on a flexible retainer basis. 

We bring world class talent to you regardless of industry or size. We specialise in the fields of:

  • Legal
  • Compliance
  • C-suite Executives and Non-Executive Directors
  • Company Secretarial
  • Accounting and Finance
  • Business and Legal Support Services

Flexibility x Control x High Impact

We have designed our service with simplicity in mind. That means we will administer your payroll and other employee benefits. Once we understand your needs, we simply provide the most suitable talents.

You will have a dedicated account manager to scope your resourcing challenges, and then to provide you with some bespoke solutions. You will be in the driving seat at all times, as you can determine the location, duration, commencement date, skills set and track record of the consultant(s) for your business. That flexibility enables you to get only what’s most important to you, and the business.

Plugging those skills gaps with the right interim talent will help your business to innovate and reach its goals faster, smoother and with far greater impact. 

A typical story of many organisations

We often see people-based bottlenecks hindering a company’s ability to advance its goals:

Getting the necessary support: 

  • Unexpected shortfalls in headcount (resignations, extended leave, increased interim workload)
  • Lack of permanent headcount approval
  • Deficit in human capital or expertise / knowledge
  • Seasonal or critical relief requiring skilled legal or professional talent
  • Temporary support employees to provide the backbone of support at critical times

Skilled Professionals to Drive Projects

  • Large scale, one-off projects to modernise or restructuring of business operations that lack qualified resource
  • The need for experienced interim C-Suite leadership or a team manager (for example, whilst the organisation undertakes a global long-term recruitment search)
  • An experienced business partner to drive HR, finance, operational or other projects through to successful conclusion
  • Fresh, innovative thinking to design and execute efficient and productive operating processes

 

YUZU: WE GOT YOU COVERED

Here are just some examples where our talent pool can give you the necessary support:

PAYROLL 

Our payroll services can be dovetailed seamlessly, either:  

  • as a standalone service where you need support on the administration of remuneration and MPF payments; or 
  • the provision of flexible legally qualified business consultants; or
  • other staffing solutions,

we can streamline this process for you to minimise the financial administration in your organisation.
