COMPANY
A practice built around careful professional attention
Anuman Partners was established to provide Thai companies and their owners with a considered outside perspective on tax and accounting matters — without alarm, without pressure, and without agenda beyond clarity.
Back to Home01 — About
Our background and purpose
Anuman Partners was founded in Bangkok by professionals who had spent years working within or alongside the corporate finance and advisory sector in Thailand. Over that time, a recurring pattern became apparent: many companies — particularly growth-stage and owner-managed firms — operated without access to a consistent, disinterested outside perspective on their tax and reporting practices.
Their incumbent accountants were skilled at preparation and compliance. Their finance teams were absorbed in operational demands. And the gap between "filed returns" and "well-understood position" often widened quietly over time, without anyone raising a flag.
The practice was established to serve that gap. Not as a replacement for existing accountants or internal finance, but as a complementary outside reading — one that can surface open questions, clarify ambiguities, and provide a written basis for internal discussion.
Our work is conducted in English and covers the full range of Thai tax obligations relevant to SMEs and mid-size companies: corporate income tax, VAT, withholding tax, and the personal tax considerations that arise for shareholders and directors. The engagement types we offer are designed to be proportionate to the situation — a focused review for a specific question, a joint engagement for a reporting overhaul, or a sustained retainer for owners who would benefit from a consistent counterpart.
Mission
To give companies operating in Thailand access to a careful, unhurried outside reading of their tax and accounting position — one that may help clarify what is well-managed and what may warrant closer attention.
Our Values
- Clarity over reassurance
- Measured language over promotional hype
- Written records for accountability
- Confidential, professional handling
- Attention to how Thai practice develops

02 — Team
The people behind the work
Our advisors bring experience from Thai corporate tax, financial reporting, and CFO-level finance. Each engagement is conducted by a named adviser, not delegated to a junior team.
Somchai Phattarakul
Senior Tax Adviser
Over fifteen years advising Thai and foreign-owned companies on Revenue Department matters, corporate income tax structure, and VAT compliance. Fluent in English and Thai tax practice.
Natthida Wiriyaporn
Accounting & Reporting Lead
Specialist in management reporting design and statutory accounting alignment for Thai SMEs and subsidiaries of regional groups. Previously held senior roles in financial advisory and audit support.
Kiatisak Laohakunakorn
Advisory & Client Relations
Focuses on retainer engagements and the ongoing advisory relationship. Backgrounds in owner-managed business finance and CFO support across manufacturing and professional services sectors.
03 — Standards
Professional standards and protocols
Thai Revenue Code knowledge
Our advisers maintain current working knowledge of the Thai Revenue Code, including how the Revenue Department has interpreted and applied provisions in recent assessment cycles.
Confidentiality protocols
All client financial and tax information is handled under strict confidentiality. We do not share materials beyond the named engagement team without explicit client instruction.
Written deliverable standard
Every engagement produces a written output — memoranda, adjustment notes, or session records. These are reviewed internally before delivery and are formatted for client reference and sharing with existing advisers.
Impartial assessment
Our role is to read and observe — not to advocate a particular filing position. Observations are stated with appropriate qualification and are designed to support, not replace, the judgment of the client's existing advisers.
Continuous professional development
The Thai tax environment changes — through Revenue Department notifications, new regulations, and interpretive shifts. Our advisers track these developments as a regular part of professional practice.
Engagement scope discipline
Each engagement is scoped in writing before commencement. We do not extend scope without discussion, and we do not take on engagements where we judge the work to fall outside our competence.
04 — Context
Tax and accounting advisory in the Thai business environment
Companies operating in Thailand face a multi-layered tax environment. Corporate income tax obligations, VAT filing cycles, withholding tax on payments to employees and third parties, and the personal tax considerations of directors and shareholders each carry their own filing requirements and interpretive nuances.
For SMEs and mid-size firms — particularly those that have grown from a modest starting point — the accounting and reporting practices established early in a company's life may no longer serve the business well. A chart of accounts designed for a ten-person operation may produce limited insight for a company of fifty. A monthly close process that worked when the finance team consisted of one person may introduce errors at a larger scale.
Anuman Partners works with companies at this kind of inflection point — where existing practices have been outrun by growth, where questions have accumulated without a clear answer, or where the owners would find value in a periodic, structured check-in with an outside professional who knows the Thai tax environment and can speak to it in plain English.
Our engagement types are designed to fit different situations. The Tax Position Review is well-suited to companies that want a discrete, time-bounded read of where things stand. The Accounting and Reporting Engagement suits those ready to work through a more substantive overhaul of their internal practices. The Advisory Retainer is designed for owners and finance leads who would benefit from a consistent, trusted outside counterpart on an ongoing basis.
