Client Experiences
"The team assessment was more structured than I expected. What I valued most was that the findings did not make anyone feel accused — they were presented as system observations, not judgments of individuals. The scorecard gave us something concrete to work from. Three months later, our weekly leadership meeting runs about forty percent faster."
Nguyen Thi Lan
CFO — Manufacturing, Ho Chi Minh City
January 2026
"We engaged Thanh Tung for the capital advisory service before approaching a PE fund. The comparison of funding options was genuinely useful — it helped us understand why bank debt was probably not the right instrument for our stage. The investor readiness evaluation was frank and identified two governance gaps we had not thought to address. We did not close funding during the engagement, but we entered conversations with much more clarity."
Tran Van Minh
Director — Technology, Ha Noi

"Our investor required a formal ERM framework before they would proceed to due diligence. We had six weeks to produce it. Thanh Tung delivered the complete manual on schedule, including training for our risk leads in each business unit. The risk champion sessions were the part our team found most valuable — it gave people a shared language for something that had previously been handled informally."
Le Thi Hoa
CEO — Real Estate, Ho Chi Minh City
January 2026
"We had been dealing with recurring conflict between two department heads for almost a year. The team assessment identified the root cause in about ten days — unclear ownership of a shared process, not personality difference. The improvement actions were specific enough to implement without further consulting support. That felt refreshing."
Pham Quoc Hung
VP Operations — Logistics, Ho Chi Minh City
January 2026
"The capital advisory engagement was well-structured and covered more ground than I anticipated. My one comment would be that the financial model templates included could have been more detailed, but the advisory document itself — particularly the funding source comparison — was the clearest analysis of our options I have seen from any external adviser. We eventually chose a government program that had not been on our radar at all."
Vo Thi Thu
Finance Manager — Trading, Da Nang
December 2025
"We had attempted to build an ERM framework once before with a different consultant and ended up with a document no one used. Thanh Tung's approach was different from the start — they involved our department leads in the taxonomy design, which meant the categories reflected our actual business rather than a generic template. The result is something people actually refer to."

CASE STUDY 01
Ho Chi Minh City · Team Assessment · 2 weeks
DECEMBER 2025
CHALLENGE
The operations team had grown from eight to eighteen people within eighteen months. Decision-making had slowed significantly. The leadership team sensed conflict but could not determine whether the problem was cultural, structural, or interpersonal.
WHAT WE DID
Conducted a structured survey across all eighteen team members, followed by individual interviews with ten. Attended one team meeting as observers. Found that three roles had overlapping mandates that had never been formally resolved during the hiring expansion.
OUTCOME
Delivered a scorecard with five prioritized actions. The most significant — a role boundary clarification document — was implemented within three weeks of delivery. Subsequent follow-up call confirmed decision speed had increased and the most frequent conflict pattern had not reoccurred.
"The finding about overlapping mandates was obvious in retrospect. But we had been too close to it. Having someone name it clearly, with evidence, made it possible to act on it without it becoming political."

CASE STUDY 02
Ha Noi · Capital Advisory · 4 weeks
JANUARY 2026
CHALLENGE
A SaaS company with 8 billion VND annual recurring revenue was preparing for its first institutional fundraise. The founding team had strong technical credentials but limited exposure to what PE and VC investors in Southeast Asia actually assess during due diligence.
WHAT WE DID
Assessed their capital needs against three growth scenarios. Mapped suitable funding sources — concluding that regional VC was more appropriate than PE given their stage. Identified gaps in governance documentation and management reporting format. Designed a twelve-week investor readiness calendar.
OUTCOME
The company used the advisory package and readiness calendar to self-prepare. Within five months, they had initiated conversations with two regional VC firms. One engagement progressed to term sheet discussion. Thanh Tung was not involved in those conversations — as intended.
"The investor readiness evaluation was uncomfortable at points — it surfaced things we had avoided thinking about. But that is exactly what we needed. We entered our first VC meeting actually knowing where our weaknesses were."

CASE STUDY 03
Ho Chi Minh City · ERM Setup · 6 weeks
DECEMBER 2025
CHALLENGE
A mid-sized real estate developer had entered a joint venture with an international partner whose parent company required all partners to maintain a formal ERM system. The company had no such system and faced a four-month deadline to demonstrate compliance.
WHAT WE DID
Built a complete ERM system over six weeks: risk taxonomy covering eight categories relevant to real estate development, assessment methodology with scoring rubrics, appetite statement approved by the board, monitoring dashboard integrated with their existing reporting cycle, and governance structure with designated risk owners per category. Trained risk champions in four departments.
OUTCOME
Delivered the complete ERM manual two weeks ahead of the joint venture deadline. The international partner's compliance team reviewed and accepted the framework without requiring revisions. The board adopted the appetite statement at their next scheduled meeting.
"We came in with a deadline and no starting point. The fact that we had a complete, accepted ERM framework in six weeks — and that our own people actually understand how to use it — is more than I expected when we started."
