Advisory
Gwan Strategic provides senior finance leadership without a full-time hire. The work is commercial and operational. It is built for APAC complexity: multi-market channels, uneven systems, and boards that need a clean number.
Fractional CFO & regional expansion
For PE-backed operators, regional headquarters, and cross-border companies scaling in Asia-Pacific.
Channel and GTM: distributor-to-direct shifts, pricing, margin, and contract structure across markets.
Finance architecture: team design, close discipline, FP&A, reporting that can stand next to public-company or investor standard.
Operating support: cash, working capital, and the decisions that sit under the P&L.
Project-based structuring
For boards, PE operating partners, and founders who need a defined intervention rather than an ongoing seat.
Carve-out and divestment readiness: standalone cost and valuation models, data that survives diligence, investor interface.
Asset-light conversions: moving fixed operating cost into licensing or royalty structures where that is the honest model.
Restructuring: footprint, vendor, and cost structure — with the accounting to match.
Systems and process
For operators whose reports still depend on heroics.
Cloud ERP programmes (Oracle Cloud, SAP) and the chart-of-accounts work that makes them usable.
Close, data, and workflow so management sees one version of the region.
Selective automation and decision support. AI is a tool in this work, not the product.
Who this is not for
Early ideas with no operating history. Anyone looking for investment management, fundraising intermediation, or a family office mandate. Those are not what Gwan Strategic sells.
