Built from Real Business Challenges

We started analyzing our own numbers back in 2019, and what we learned surprised us. Now we help other businesses do the same thing.

Six Years Running
Founded 2019

How It Actually Started

Back in early 2019, Marcus Chen was running a small export business out of Chiang Mai. The numbers looked fine on paper, but something felt off. Cash flow issues kept popping up, and he couldn't figure out why certain months performed better than others.

So he started tracking things differently. Not just revenue and expenses, but patterns. When did clients actually pay? Which products had hidden costs? What seasonal factors were everyone ignoring?

After six months of this obsessive tracking, he had answers. Better yet, he had a system. His business partner, who ran a small manufacturing operation, wanted in on whatever Marcus was doing. Then a friend asked for help with their retail analytics.

That's basically how Dynamic Intellects happened. We didn't set out to build an analysis company. We just kept solving our own problems, and other people wanted what we figured out.

The Journey So Far

2019

Finding Our Method

Marcus developed the initial tracking framework that would become our core methodology. Started with three businesses in Chiang Mai, all dealing with similar cash flow confusion. We learned more from our mistakes that year than from anything we got right.

2021

Expanding Through Word of Mouth

Hit twenty active clients without any marketing. Everything came through referrals. We realized our approach worked particularly well for businesses operating in Southeast Asian markets where standard Western frameworks often miss local nuances.

2023

Building Deeper Expertise

Brought on specialists who understood both traditional financial analysis and modern business operations. Started offering targeted programs for companies wanting to develop their own internal analysis capabilities rather than just outsourcing everything.

2025

Where We Are Today

Working with businesses across Thailand and the region. Our focus remains the same: helping companies understand their own numbers well enough to make better decisions. We're planning new educational offerings for late 2025 and early 2026.

What Actually Changes

These aren't dramatic overnight transformations. They're examples of businesses that learned to read their own data better and made smarter choices because of it.

Small manufacturing business implementing systematic cost tracking

Manufacturing Cost Clarity

A manufacturing client thought their main product line was profitable. After breaking down actual production costs by batch size and timing, they discovered their mid-range orders were losing money. Adjusted pricing for those orders and focused sales efforts on their actually profitable segments.

Retail business analyzing customer purchase patterns and seasonal trends

Retail Pattern Recognition

A retail business was struggling with inventory decisions. We helped them track not just what sold, but when and in what combinations. Turned out their seasonal assumptions were mostly wrong. They restocked based on actual patterns instead of industry averages and reduced waste significantly.

How We Approach Analysis

1

Start With Your Actual Questions

We don't begin with templates or standard reports. First session is always about what you're actually trying to figure out. Why isn't this profitable? Where is cash getting stuck? What's driving those seasonal dips? Your real questions shape the entire analysis.

2

Look at Your Specific Context

Generic industry benchmarks matter less than understanding your particular situation. We dig into how your business actually operates. Payment terms with your specific clients. Your supply chain timing. Local market factors that affect your costs and pricing. Context determines what matters.

3

Build Systems You'll Actually Use

Fancy dashboards are useless if nobody looks at them. We focus on creating tracking systems that fit into your existing workflow. Usually means simpler is better. The goal isn't perfect data, it's useful data that you'll actually check regularly enough to spot patterns.

4

Test Changes and Measure Results

Analysis only matters if it leads to better decisions. We help you implement changes gradually and track whether they're working. Sometimes your initial hypothesis is wrong. That's fine. The point is having a system that shows you what's actually happening so you can adjust.

Looking Forward

What We're Building Toward

Six years in, we're still learning. Every business we work with teaches us something about analysis we hadn't considered before. That ongoing education shapes where we're headed.

For 2025 and 2026, we're developing more structured learning programs. Not just consulting where we do the analysis for you, but actual training where you learn to do it yourself. Because honestly, you'll understand your business better than we ever could. We just know which questions to ask and which patterns to look for.

  • Intensive analysis training programs starting September 2025
  • Specialized workshops for retail and manufacturing sectors
  • Regional expansion supporting more businesses across Southeast Asia
  • Building tools that make systematic analysis more accessible

Our core belief hasn't changed since Marcus started tracking his own numbers back in 2019. Most businesses have more useful data than they realize. They just need better questions and clearer ways of looking at what they already have.

Founder & Lead Analyst

Still the person most likely to get obsessive about tracking patterns nobody else notices. Started this because I couldn't figure out my own business numbers. Turns out that struggle was the best preparation for helping others with theirs.
