What Clients Say

Client Testimonials

The formation process in Thailand felt daunting when we first looked into it — there were layers to the BOI eligibility question alone that I could not find clear answers to online. Praewa walked us through the logic of each decision methodically, without rushing or overcomplicating things. We came out the other side with a registered entity and a compliance calendar that our admin team actually uses. Took four weeks from first meeting to completion.

James Morrow

Managing Director · Chonburi

February 2026

We engaged Thara Mongkol for the financial planning service when it became clear our internal budgeting process had not kept pace with the company's growth. Nattaporn was direct about what she needed from us to make the models accurate — and equally direct about where our existing assumptions were weak. The six-week process was sometimes uncomfortable but the output was genuinely useful. Our finance team has maintained and updated the models independently since the handover, which was the whole point.

Siriporn Rattanakorn

CFO · Eastern Seaboard Manufacturing

January 2026

The due diligence coordination work was one of the more complex engagements I have been involved in from a buyer's side. Simon managed four separate workstreams without losing the thread — and the integrated report at the end of the process was genuinely the most readable DD document I have seen. The risk flagging was clear and appropriately prioritised, which made the negotiation phase considerably more manageable.

David Lim

Investment Director · Singapore-based fund

February 2026

What I appreciated most was that they did not try to expand the engagement beyond what we had agreed. We came in for formation support and that is exactly what we received — with full attention to the detail, no upselling, and an honest answer when I asked whether certain things were in or out of scope. It was a refreshing contrast to some of the larger advisory firms we had spoken to beforehand.

Anna Nguyen

Founder · Ho Chi Minh City (Thailand ops)

January 2026

The financial planning engagement helped us have conversations as a leadership team that we had been avoiding — because the models made the implications of different decisions concrete rather than abstract. That was valuable in itself, quite apart from the financial outputs. There were a couple of points in the process where the pace felt slower than I would have liked, but the final product was thorough and the team was clearly across the detail.

Thanida Praphaphan

CEO · Retail Distribution, Pattaya

February 2026

We needed due diligence on a target acquisition with a relatively short window before exclusivity expired. Simon was upfront that 10 weeks was a stretch given the complexity of the operational stream — and suggested we scope one stream more narrowly to make the timeline workable. That kind of honest scoping conversation at the start made the engagement much smoother than it might otherwise have been. The final report was delivered on time and was exactly what our legal advisors needed.

Case Studies

Selected Client Journeys

Challenge

Hong Kong investor, first Thailand entity

A Hong Kong-based investor wished to establish a manufacturing support company in the Chonburi area. They had limited familiarity with Thai entity types, were uncertain whether their business activity qualified for BOI promotion, and had received conflicting advice from two law firms regarding foreign business licensing requirements.

Our Approach

Structured analysis, then a clear recommendation

Thara Mongkol conducted a detailed activity-based eligibility assessment for BOI promotion, identified the most appropriate entity structure, and coordinated the Ministry of Commerce filing. An NDA was in place from day one and all document handling was conducted through secure channels.

Results

Entity registered, BOI approved, calendar in hand

The entity was registered within 4.5 weeks. BOI promotion approval was obtained for the qualifying activity portion. The post-registration compliance calendar identified 11 filing milestones across the first 24 months of operation — all of which the client's Bangkok-based administrator was equipped to manage independently.

Timeline: 4.5 weeks · Service: Formation

Challenge

Distribution company, founder-managed finances

A Pattaya-based distribution business with annual revenue of approximately āļŋ35 million had been operating with minimal formal financial planning for seven years. The founder acknowledged that cash flow visibility was poor and that budget discussions between departments were largely informal.

Our Approach

Seven weeks of structured facilitation

Working directly with the founder and two department leads over seven weeks, the team built a 13-month rolling cash flow model from historical transaction data, developed a departmental budgeting template, and ran three training sessions so the internal team understood how to maintain and stress-test the model.

Results

Planning capability built, not just delivered

The finance team updated the model independently for the following three quarters without external support. The founder commented that budget discussions became substantially more structured within two months. Cash flow visibility extended from approximately 3 weeks to 13 months of modelled visibility.

Timeline: 7 weeks · Service: Financial Planning

Challenge

Acquisition with compressed timeline

A regional private equity firm was evaluating an acquisition of a Thai service business. They had an exclusivity window of 11 weeks and needed coordinated due diligence across financial, operational, legal, and market dimensions — with an output that their investment committee could act on directly.

Our Approach

Parallel-track DD, narrowed operational scope

After an honest scoping discussion, the operational DD scope was narrowed to the most material areas to preserve timeline integrity. Financial and market streams ran in parallel. Weekly written progress summaries were provided to the client's investment team throughout the engagement.

Results

On-time integrated report, 3 risk items flagged

The integrated assessment report was delivered in week 10 of the 11-week window. Three material risk items were flagged and prioritised, two of which were subsequently used in price negotiation discussions. The transaction completed with documented terms reflecting DD findings.
