Japanese companies’ businesses in Southeast Asia are entering a new phase. Traditionally, Japanese companies have achieved business growth by expanding geographically and growing their businesses with other Japanese firms, all while being mindful of local regulations and business customs. However, going forward there is an increasing need to gain local customers and secure a competitive advantage over local companies. This requires a deeper and faster understanding of the market and a business strategy that goes beyond simply applying capabilities cultivated in Japan. Companies will also need to drive business strategies using M&A and alliances while managing an increasingly uncertain and diverse business environment.

Japanese management teams are now required to make more precise, flexible and swift decisions compared to before. Establishing a solid management and operational foundation has become a critical action for survival in the Southeast Asian market.

To address these challenges Deloitte SEA’s Japanese Client Services (JCS) is actively hiring talent capable of improving and strengthening not just individual processes but the overall business and management infrastructure. This includes utilizing digital technologies for management tasks to fully automate operations and automatically generate performance analysis and business forecasting information.

Increasing demand for tech‑driven services: In Southeast Asia, it is critical to restructure value chains for optimal efficiency across the region, ensuring healthy cash flow and profitability by integrating various business functions such as sales, procurement, manufacturing, inventory and logistics. Accurate performance assessment and high‑quality forecasting through data utilisation have become key success factors; we are actively looking to bring on experts in these areas.

Key tech utilisation aspects: Complete operational automation and advanced analytical functions.

The first aspect focuses on paperless operations and the automation of routine processes using technologies such as RPA, OCR and BPM:

• BI: Tableau, Power BI
• EPM: Anaplan, OneStream, Jedox, Tagetik
• ML/AI: DataRobot, Celonis, Alteryx, H2O

Finance Transformation (FT) offers consulting services in accounting and management to Japanese companies operating in Southeast Asia, primarily targeting CEOs and CFOs. Based on business strategy and structure, the FT team focuses on optimising business functions across the region, redefining responsibilities and authority, and refreshing operational and system infrastructure. Key services include:

• Reconstructing operating models across Southeast Asia
• Building Global Business Services
• Establishing shared services and outsourcing

Designing and restructuring regional headquarters:

• Realigning functions between Japanese headquarters, APAC and local subsidiaries
• Creating business plans for regional headquarters design and restructuring

• Implementing and replacing accounting systems
• Defining requirements for operational automation tools (BPM, EPM, AI, etc.)
