Someone Who's Seen What Works

I started analyzing financial data for small tech companies back in 2017. What surprised me most wasn't the complexity — it was how often businesses make decisions without really understanding their numbers.

Over eight years, I've worked with 47 companies ranging from five-person startups to mid-sized manufacturers. The consistent pattern? Most financial problems become visible months before they become critical. But only if you're actually looking at the right indicators.

My background combines accounting fundamentals with practical software implementation. I'm certified in financial modeling and spend way too much time thinking about how to present data in ways that busy founders will actually use.

Notable work: Developed custom forecasting models for 12 companies that reduced planning time by 60% while improving accuracy. Three of those businesses successfully secured funding rounds using our analysis framework.

Manufacturing Profitability Assessment

A client making custom furniture was profitable on paper but constantly scrambling for cash. Their accounting showed 15% margins, but they couldn't explain why operations felt so tight.

We rebuilt their costing model from scratch, tracking actual material waste and labor hours per product line. Turns out three of their twelve product categories were losing money once you factored in rework and delivery. They discontinued those lines, focused resources on profitable work, and saw steady improvement over the following year. Not overnight magic — just better information leading to smarter choices.

Why We Write About This Stuff

Financial software companies usually publish generic advice that sounds impressive but doesn't help much when you're staring at your own messy data.

Our blog exists because we want to share what actually happens when businesses try to improve their financial processes. The mistakes we've seen. The workarounds that helped. The expensive lessons learned by others that you can avoid.

This isn't about selling you something immediately — it's about building a resource that's genuinely useful for finance teams working through real challenges in Thailand's business environment.
