We're budget contingency specialists who've worked with Thai businesses for over a decade. Our team combines international financial planning expertise with deep understanding of local market dynamics.
Kieran Blackwood
Founding Director & Senior Financial Strategist
Started Sharpstreamflux in 2012 after spending eight years helping multinational companies navigate Thailand's financial landscape. Kieran's approach centers on building contingency plans that actually work when markets shift unexpectedly.
His philosophy? "Every business faces surprises. The companies that thrive are the ones prepared for scenarios they hope never happen." He's guided over 200 businesses through economic downturns, regulatory changes, and market volatility.
How We Think About Financial Planning
Financial planning isn't just about spreadsheets and projections. It's about understanding your business deeply enough to prepare for multiple futures.
Scenario-Based Planning
We build three-tier contingency models that account for best-case growth, steady operations, and challenging periods. Each scenario includes specific action triggers and resource allocation strategies tailored to Thailand's business environment.
Local Market Intelligence
Understanding Thai regulatory changes, seasonal business patterns, and regional economic factors makes the difference between generic advice and actionable strategies. We monitor market indicators that actually impact your bottom line.
Practical Implementation
Financial plans only work when they're executable. We focus on strategies you can implement with your current resources, then scale as your business grows. Every recommendation comes with clear next steps.
Long-term Relationships
Markets change, businesses evolve, and plans need adjusting. We work with clients over years, not months, updating strategies as circumstances shift and new opportunities emerge in Thailand's developing economy.
