Our Approach to Financial Analysis

We built this methodology over years of working directly with Thai businesses. It's not theoretical—every step comes from actual challenges we've helped companies solve.

Financial statement analysis should reveal opportunities, not just report numbers. That's what drives our work with clients across Bangkok and beyond.

Progressive Analysis Framework

Foundation Review

We start with understanding your business context. What industry patterns matter? What seasonal factors affect your cash flow? Before diving into numbers, we need to grasp what makes your business tick.

Initial phase, typically 2-3 sessions

Statement Deep Dive

This is where we examine balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow documents. Not just checking boxes—we look for relationships between line items that reveal underlying patterns or potential concerns.

Core analysis phase, 4-6 weeks

Ratio Analysis & Benchmarking

Numbers mean more when compared to something. We calculate key ratios and benchmark them against industry standards relevant to the Thai market. Quick ratio, debt-to-equity, inventory turnover—these tell stories when properly contextualized.

Comparative assessment, ongoing process

Insight Development

Raw analysis doesn't help much unless translated into decisions. We work with you to identify what the numbers suggest about operational efficiency, financial health, and strategic positioning. This becomes the foundation for planning.

Strategic phase, iterative throughout engagement
