WHY USING BDG ACCOUNTING SUPPORT?

With more than 10 years of experience helping foreign companies establish their presence in Vietnam, BDG has witnessed many enterprises struggling to establish a well-rounded accounting system in the first months of operations.

 

THE CHALLENGE OF ACCOUNTING

In Vietnam, it could take up to two months to establish a comprehensive accounting system for your organization. Furthermore, you could face up to 30 tax payments each year, depending on your organization’s legal form and activities. Finally, on average, a Vietnamese accounting team would need 770 hours to complete all payments, which is more than 4 times longer than the 177 hours needed in OECD countries (according to the World Bank’s Doing Business Report).

Finally, according to the Vietnamese laws, every foreign-owned enterprise (FOE) in Vietnam needs to have a certified chief accountant managing company’s books. As good professionals are hard to find and expensive, BDG found an answer to your problems.

 

SOLUTION

To overcome these issues, and help your company avoid paying high penalties in Vietnam, BDG has created a portfolio of accounting services. Within these, we make sure your financial reporting will be transparent, up-to-date and accurate, in order to avoid any conflict and interest from the beginning on.
