Why Nitro?
Hi there! I’m Daniel, founder and director of Nitro Advisory
For the past 15 years, I’ve been helping MNCs scale their businesses in Singapore as well as internationally, achieving double-digit growth rates and launching new products across regions without breaking a sweat
My journey over the years includes stints in SGX-listcos (Real Estate, Construction, Financial services) and Local SMEs (Retail, Insurance, Manufacturing) as their auditor while still at KPMG, and as Commercial Finance Business Partner and Centre-of-Excellence Finance Business Operations Partner to International MNCs (Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals) handling revenues at the 10 to 20mil, >20 to 250 mil and 400mil to 1 Bil USD ranges. I’ve worked in traditional hierarchical-type finance leadership teams, as well as highly matrixed-type business partner constructs, and understand the nuances of what each brings. With broad experience in Internal/External Audit, Risk management, Financial due-diligence, IPO listings, Accounting ERP system transitions (SAP), Implementation of large cloud-based FP&A models (Anaplan), Driving performance of BUs and Regions, Short & long-range Budgeting / Forecasting and MNC-level business case / scenario analysis, I’ve become somewhat of a Swiss army knife (in a financial sense) - a Trusted Business Partner that is both versatile and resilient.
It seemed all cool while I was at it, but then it struck me hard that I could be doing the same for our local SG businesses, and perhaps I could bring about more value by accelerating the growth of local SMEs and startups instead
With the accumulated knowledge and experience gleaned from Big 4 and international MNC finance organizations, my associates and I are confident of giving your business or team the boost it needs to exceed your targets
Our Philosophy
We work with the cards we’ve been dealt
It’s no point trying to compare upwards and be filled with envy and discontentment, neither is there any use comparing downwards and risk becoming complacent. In every circumstance there are opportunities and strengths which we can harness to overcome threats and weaknesses.
In partnering with you, we seek to understand what "cards” you have played, what’s left in the deck and what exactly you have in your hand in order to unlock hidden synergistic effects and strategize a win.
We listen to understand, not to reply
Most of the issues in corporations (regardless of their size) are not merely task/process-oriented but people-oriented and the solutions to them largely require change-management efforts that speak to the heart and not just to the mind.
We seek to understand your pain points with empathy and professionalism. Every conversation with your management/staff is an opportunity not just for fact-finding, but an exploration of what people are really thinking about and what they truly feel. This sensitivity, coupled with our integrity allows us to give you an independent analysis and truthful perspective of whatever issue you might be facing.
We’ve been through what you’re going through
“The only source of knowledge is experience” - Albert Einstein
“Good decisions come from experience, experience comes from making bad decisions” - Mark Twain
Would you be surprised that whatever challenges you are going through right now are common to most companies/teams? The comforting news is that our team has probably faced something similar - we’ve made mistakes of our own and learnt how to wrestle our way back from failure, so that with our guidance you don’t have to face the same pitfalls as we did.
We deliver on our promises
Nitro Advisory is a work-in-progress, that means that our service offerings are constantly being updated and new associates are brought on board. We dream of being a premier business partner to our clients and to achieve that - our leaders ensure the highest quality of service and timeliness to match. You can be assured of the same 5-star standard for every engagement with us, regardless of cost or complexity.
