Professional Background
Finance & Audit Experience
Anthony Chan brings over 10 years of professional experience across finance, audit, operational process review, internal controls, and risk-focused advisory work. He holds the Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) and Certification in Risk Management Assurance (CRMA) designations.
The financial consulting side of the business is shaped by hands-on experience in financial audits, operational process audits, internal controls, reporting, and decision support. The approach is grounded in understanding how organizations actually work, where processes break down, and what helps improve clarity, structure, and execution.
That background supports practical financial consulting for clients who want stronger reporting, better decision-making, improved operational discipline, and recommendations that can actually be put into action.
Athletic Background
Endurance Sport & Coaching
The sports consulting and coaching side is built on years of endurance sport experience, training, racing, testing, pacing, and performance development. It is designed for athletes and performance-minded clients who want thoughtful guidance in training, race execution, equipment decisions, and overall development.
The same values that matter in finance and operations also matter in endurance sport: discipline, consistency, honest assessment, and steady execution over time.
From the Audit Floor to the CFO Seat
How I Approach the Work
Step 1
A real conversation, not a sales call
Thirty minutes on your situation and what you’re actually trying to accomplish. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
Step 2
Find the highest-leverage work
I look at where the biggest gains are: the financial gaps costing you money, or the training changes that will move your race times most.
Step 3
Build it, then execute together
We put a plan in place and I stay in it with you — steady progress, measured against real results.
From New York to the Start Line
I’m a New Yorker at heart. I grew up in the city, bounced between just about every sport as a kid, and eventually found my footing in running through New York’s competitive racing scene — including my years with the Dashing Whippets, where I first broke 1:30 in the half back in 2011. That city taught me discipline, grit, and how to keep showing up.
Running opened the door to endurance sport more broadly. Over the years that grew into two IRONMAN World Championship qualifications in Kona, a marathon best of 2:38, and eventually a move to San Diego in 2017 to train and live in the California sun. But the accomplishment I’m proudest of isn’t a personal result at all.
Since 2015 I’ve served as an official pacer at the New York City Marathon, and since 2018 I’ve led the 3:00 hour group — guiding hundreds of runners toward the goal they’ve trained months for. In 2022 our group crossed the line at a net 2:59:31, one second off a perfect 2:59:30. But the real reward comes weeks later: the messages from runners who hit their personal best because the pace team got them there. Giving back to the running community that shaped me is the part I’d never give up.
Slowtwitch profiled my running, pacing, and the road from New York City to the start line in a feature titled “Marathon Man Anthony Chan.”
