Shinkai Consulting
Clarity at depth

We help organizations earn the trust of regulators, customers and investors.

We work beneath the surface, in the records, operations and numbers behind every filing, contract and plan.

About the firm

Named for the deep sea.

Shinkai Consulting is an independent advisory firm. Its name, Shinkai (深海), means the deep sea. It reflects how we work: beneath the surface, where the real condition of an organization is found.

What a company reports, promises and plans holds up only when what lies underneath is sound. That is where we spend our time. We give our own view, based on evidence, and we stay with the client until the matter is settled.

Practices

Four practices, one purpose.

Each practice helps clients earn the trust of the people who rely on them. We take on a defined question, work through the evidence, and leave the client with a clear position.

I

EPR and Sustainability

Regulators, customers and investors now ask companies to prove their environmental claims. We make sure those claims rest on sound records.

  • EPR Compliance AuditAn independent review of plastic footprint and recovery claims against the evidence, under the Philippine EPR Act.
  • EPR Program ManagementSetting up and running a producer's EPR program, from the footprint baseline to annual reporting.
  • GHG Inventory and Assurance ReadinessEmissions inventories built under the GHG Protocol, with records prepared for external assurance.
II

Tax

A company's tax position is among the first things regulators and investors examine. We make sure it holds up, and we stand with the client when it is questioned.

  • Tax Health CheckA review of past filings that finds exposures early, while they can still be corrected.
  • Tax Assessment DefenseRepresentation through a tax examination, from the first notice through the remedies the law provides.
  • Tax Incentive AdvisoryQualifying for and keeping investment incentives, and recovering refundable VAT.
III

Finance and Operations

Customers trust a company that delivers what it signs. Investors trust one whose plans add up. We test both before the company commits.

  • Capacity and Contract Fulfillment ReviewMeasuring what operations can actually produce against what has been committed, and closing the gap.
  • Financing and Investment ReadinessFinancial models, plans, valuations and due diligence prepared to the standard lenders and investors expect.
  • Fractional CFOSenior financial leadership on a part-time basis: cash flow, budgets, margins and board reporting.
IV

Corporate and Government Services

Partners, regulators and government buyers deal more readily with a company in good order. We keep its standing, officers and bid documents in order.

  • Corporate ComplianceKeeping a company in good standing: corporate filings, board records and a compliance calendar.
  • Resident Officer ServicesResident treasurer and corporate secretary services for companies whose owners are abroad.
  • Government Bid ReadinessEligibility, financial and technical documents prepared for public procurement, including joint ventures.
Approach

How we work

Four principles guide every engagement, whatever its size.

Independent

We give our own view, based on evidence. We do not sell the systems we assess.

Measured

We work with care and without alarm. Our advice is steady, even when the situation is not.

Exact

We use plain words and specific findings. We do not overstate.

Open to the world

We describe our work in terms any client understands, local or foreign.

The Philippines

For companies doing business in the Philippines.

We are based in Metro Manila. We work with Philippine companies, and with foreign firms that operate here or plan to.

For a foreign company, the Philippines rewards preparation. We help firms meet local requirements from the start and keep their standing as they grow.
