A Strategic Advisory Firm Built for Complex Transactions

Financia is a SEC-registered advisory firm established to serve corporations, investors, and business owners navigating high-stakes financial decisions. We design, strengthen, and renew the financial structures of organizations — serving as both architects of stability and trusted partners in recovery.

We serve as a confidential sounding board for boards, executives, and capital partners, bringing rigorous analysis, structured thinking, and hands-on execution to every engagement.

Our Philosophy
"We are not a firm that advises from a distance. We are in the room thinking, deciding, and acting alongside you."

Every company passes through financial cycles — growth, stress, and renewal. We believe that resilience is not built in moments of crisis, but in how a company is structured before the pressure arrives.

Gonzalo "Gonzo" Ocampo
Founder · Principal Advisor · Financia Corporate Advisory

Gonzalo Ocampo — known across the Philippine business community as "Gonzo" — is one of the country's most seasoned corporate financial advisors, with a career spanning over two and a half decades of hands-on engagement with the most complex financial challenges facing Philippine enterprises.

Over the course of his career, Gonzo has worked directly with more than 60 corporations across every major sector of the Philippine economy — from manufacturing and real estate to banking, infrastructure, conglomerates, and family-owned enterprises. His engagements have ranged from large-scale debt restructurings and balance sheet rehabilitations to investment banking mandates, governance overhauls, and board-directed special investigations.

What distinguishes his practice is not the volume of engagements, but their outcomes. Many of the companies he has advised — some on the verge of insolvency, others navigating ownership transitions or creditor disputes — have gone on to stabilize, grow, and in several cases emerge as stronger, more resilient enterprises. His philosophy has always been the same: enter early, stay through execution, and leave the organization structurally better than you found it.

Gonzo founded Financia to institutionalize that philosophy — building a firm with the discipline, independence, and senior-level commitment that boards and business owners deserve when the stakes are highest. He leads every engagement personally, and his track record across the full spectrum of Philippine corporate finance remains the foundation of the firm's reputation.

06
New Service

Forensic Advisory

Forensic Financial Advisory

Independent forensic analysis of financial statements, related-party structures, and consolidation practices for boards, creditors, regulators, and litigation counsel. We read behind the numbers, trace what was moved and when, and build findings that are defensible, sourced, and clear.

Every engagement is senior-led

Financia operates on an engagement basis. Inquiries are handled with full discretion. All engagements are conflict-free, confidential, and results-oriented.

Independent Analysis for Boards, Creditors, and Counsel

When the numbers do not add up, the instinct is often to wait. To trust the auditors. To assume the discrepancy will resolve itself. It rarely does.

Who Calls Financia

Forensic financial work is engaged when the stakes are high, the answers are unclear, and the cost of being wrong is significant.

01

Boards & Audit Committees

That suspect financial irregularities and need an independent review that does not run through management or the incumbent auditor. Senior-led. Unconflicted. Confidential.

02

Creditors & Financial Institutions

Evaluating whether reported financials accurately reflect the condition of a borrower — particularly in distress situations where disclosure may be selective or incomplete.

03

Investors & Acquirers

Conducting pre-transaction due diligence where the target's financial history is complex, offshore-linked, or insufficiently disclosed. Know what you are buying before you commit.

04

Litigation Counsel

Requiring financial analysis, evidentiary dossiers, or expert-ready documentation for regulatory complaints, court proceedings, or arbitration. Built to survive cross-examination.

05

Regulators & Enforcement Bodies

Engaging independent advisors to support investigation and enforcement proceedings. We structure findings so they are actionable, sourced, and legally defensible.

All Engagements

Conducted on a strictly confidential basis. Initial inquiries welcome from boards, legal counsel, institutional creditors, and regulators.

Forensic Advisory Services

01

Forensic Service

Financial Statement Forensics

Independent analysis of audited and unaudited financial statements to identify manipulation, misclassification, phantom revenue, selective impairment, and consolidation irregularities. We examine what the numbers say — and what they are structured to conceal.

02

Forensic Service

Related-Party Transaction Analysis

Systematic mapping of intercompany flows, offshore holding structures, and undisclosed related-party arrangements. We trace the movement of value across corporate structures and identify where disclosures fall short of economic reality.

03

Forensic Service

Consolidation & Subsidiary Review

Analysis of whether consolidated financial statements accurately represent the underlying condition of subsidiary entities — including revenue gaps, unverified asset balances, and consolidation-driven distortions.

04

Forensic Service

Pre-Distress Financial Diagnostic

Independent forensic review of a company's financial position commissioned before a creditor, investor, or board commits to a restructuring or capital injection. Know what you are dealing with before you act.

05

Forensic Service

Evidentiary Dossier Preparation

Structured preparation of financial findings for use in legal and regulatory proceedings. Each finding is sourced, methodology is explicit, limitations are acknowledged, and the analysis is organized for counsel, regulators, and adjudicators. Built to survive cross-examination.

06

Forensic Service

Board-Mandated Independent Review

When a board or audit committee requires an investigative review independent of management and the incumbent audit firm, Financia acts as the board's financial eyes — analytical, unconflicted, and senior-led throughout.

How We Work

We apply a single standard across every forensic engagement — designed for the environment in which the findings will ultimately be used: in a boardroom, a courtroom, or a regulator's office.

01

Facts Separated from Inferences

What the financial statements actually say is kept distinct from what we conclude based on them. Opposing counsel will attack inferences. The facts must be unassailable.

02

Every Number Is Sourced

Every figure carries a source reference. Every derived figure shows how it was derived, what was included, what was excluded, and what assumptions were made.

03

Limitations Are Acknowledged

Every finding states what we cannot prove, alternative explanations, and data we do not have. Our clients are never surprised by a limitation we already knew about.

04

Absolute Confidentiality

Forensic engagements are conducted under the strictest confidentiality protocols. Nothing leaves the engagement team without your explicit authorization.

"We do not produce reports.
We produce evidence."

Most forensic engagements fail not because the analyst lacked technical skill, but because the output was not built for how it would ultimately be used. Financia builds forensic work product that travels.
