Raising a Series A or B? Put a seasoned CFO beside you first.
Saigon's venture scene is busy, and diligence will test every gap in your finance function. We find, vet and match a fractional CFO who embeds before the round, builds what investors expect to see, and stays to deliver against it.
What holds up Vietnamese rounds
Investors in Vietnam are active, but they slow down or walk away for reasons that are easy to spot early:
Documents that take weeks
Domestic and regional funds read a slow data room as a sign of how the company is managed, and with so many startups in the city competing for attention, they can afford to move on.
Numbers that do not reconcile
Unit economics, projections and the accounts tell three different stories, and funds backing Vietnamese rounds test models hard.
No finance leader to answer
Detailed questions land on the founder, and in a market short of experienced finance executives, the gap is obvious to investors.
Registration and tax issues surfacing late
Out-of-date registrations, a messy cap table or open tax questions appear in diligence, long after they could have been tidied quietly.
All of this is avoidable with a finance leader in place before the process starts. When investors look beyond finance, our collective can add operational or technology seniority as well.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Preparing for a funding round in the next three to six months
- A data room or financial model that will not survive diligence
- Gaps in investor reporting, cap table or board resolutions
- A founder carrying every financial question personally
- Numbers and investor narrative that do not yet line up
Not for
- A business with no revenue or traction to diligence yet
- A one-off pitch deck or investor slide design
- A team that wants a document produced, not a leader embedded
- A round already closed that needs only bookkeeping
How a fractional CFO gets a Saigon company investor-ready
The model, the data room and the story, prepared by a finance leader who knows what Vietnamese and regional funds want to see.
A model built for diligence
Three to five years of projections with clear assumptions, scenarios and a direct line to unit economics, plus a data room that is organised from day one.
A story investors can follow
Your CFO links growth, margins and cash into one investment case, and prepares the founders for the questions local, regional and international funds will ask.
Registration and tax in order
Certificates, filings and tax positions are checked and tidied before diligence, so the conversation stays on the opportunity.
A fuller team when needed
If investors want to see operations or technology leadership, we can match a fractional COO or CTO to work with your CFO through the round.
Delivery after the close
Once the money lands, your CFO reports to the board against the plan and builds the finance team the next round will expect.
