On 18 October 2026, Corvane Advisory held an internal gathering at its Ho Chi Minh City headquarters to mark 15 years since its founding, connected online with the Hanoi, Da Nang, Binh Duong and Hai Phong offices and the Japan & Korea Desk. From eight people in a small office in 2011, Corvane now has 260 professionals, including CPA-qualified auditors, ACCA members, lawyers and CFA charterholders, serving more than 1,400 corporate clients, around 40% of which are foreign-invested enterprises.

Three new Directors

At the event, the Executive Board announced three Director appointments, effective 1 November 2026:

Ms Phan Thuc Nghi — Director, Tax Advisory, Hanoi office. With Corvane for 11 years, she leads the transfer pricing documentation team and supports clients through tax reviews.
Mr Ho Minh Khang — Director, Accounting & Outsourcing, Binh Duong office. He leads the team serving manufacturers in industrial parks, managing more than 1,800 accounting and tax files a year.
Ms Kim Yen Nhi — Director, Transaction Advisory, Japan & Korea Desk. She has worked on more than 30 due diligence engagements for Japanese and Korean investors.

Fifteen years in numbers

More than 9,000 accounting and tax files handled every year.
A 98% client renewal rate.
More than 120 due diligence and M&A engagements.
Zero late tax filings for full-service clients for three consecutive years, 2023–2025.
Working in four languages: Vietnamese, English, Japanese and Korean.

“Fifteen years ago we started with a simple promise: clients should need only one point of contact for every financial and legal matter. Each of the people appointed today grew with that promise, file by file and year-end by year-end.” — Ms Truong Minh Chau, Managing Partner and co-founder, Corvane Advisory

Priorities for the years ahead

Over the next three years, Corvane will focus on three priorities: upgrading Corvane Portal so clients can track progress and documents on their own; strengthening internal control advisory for businesses preparing to list or raise capital; and investing in professional development, with a target of at least 40 hours of technical learning per professional each year.

To mark the occasion, the firm also set aside a working day for all staff to take part in a volunteer programme funding scholarships for accounting and law students at several universities. Corvane thanks the clients and partners who have worked with it over 15 years and looks forward to continuing to serve them.

Milestones along the way

2011: founded in Ho Chi Minh City with eight people.
2014: Hanoi office opened; 2016: Japan & Korea Desk established.
2017: Da Nang office; 2019: Binh Duong office and ISO 27001 certification for client data.
2022: Hai Phong office and the 1,000-client milestone; 2025: launch of Corvane Portal.

The Executive Board noted that these appointments reflect the firm's internal development path: all three new Directors joined Corvane as specialists and grew through years of working directly with clients.

Corvane Portal update: track filing deadlines, approve documents and view management reports on mobile

gioithieucongty10.mauwebdep.com.vn — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:54:35 +0000

Corvane Portal launched in 2025 to let clients track their files and documents around the clock rather than emailing to ask for updates. From September 2026, a new version of the Portal is available to all full-service accounting, tax and legal clients, shaped by feedback from more than 300 users in its first year.

What's new

Filing deadline calendar: shows each company's monthly, quarterly and annual filing and reporting dates, with reminders seven days and two days ahead by email and in the app.
Online document approval: chief accountants or directors can approve tax returns, payroll and payment requests in a few steps, with a full record of who approved what and when.
Monthly management reports: revenue, expenses, cash flow and receivables shown as charts with year-on-year comparisons, exportable to Excel or PDF.
Legal document vault: certificates, charters, meeting minutes and key contracts stored in one place, with alerts before licences expire.
Mobile app: upload documents by taking a photo and message the responsible specialist in Vietnamese, English, Japanese or Korean.

Security comes first

Data on the Portal is managed under the ISO 27001-certified information security management system Corvane has operated since 2019. Users sign in with two-factor authentication, permissions are role-based (view, upload, approve) and every action is logged. Clients can manage their own staff accounts and revoke access as soon as personnel change.

“Clients don't need another complicated piece of software. They need to know where their files are, what needs their approval and which deadline is coming up. The new Portal is built around exactly those three questions.” — Ms Nguyen Hoai An, Partner, Accounting & Outsourcing, Corvane Advisory

Results from the pilot

During a three-month pilot with 80 clients, the average time from a specialist sending a return to the client approving it fell from 2.5 days to less than one day, and status-request emails dropped by around 60%. Corvane plans to add data connections with several widely used accounting and sales management systems in 2027.

Existing clients will receive an email explaining how to activate their new accounts. For any questions, please call 1900 12xx or email info@xxxxx.vn.

Onboarding and support

Each client is offered a 30-minute online walkthrough with their responsible specialist. User guides are available in Vietnamese, English, Japanese and Korean. During the first month, the technical support team responds to requests within four working hours.

The web version supports the main desktop browsers.
The mobile app is available on both major smartphone platforms.
Existing Portal data is migrated to the new version automatically, with no need to re-upload.

Hai Phong office marks four years supporting manufacturers and logistics businesses in the northern coastal region

gioithieucongty10.mauwebdep.com.vn — Sat, 24 Oct 2026 15:54:35 +0000

In July 2026, Corvane Advisory's Hai Phong office celebrated its fourth anniversary. Established in 2022 — the year Corvane reached 1,000 clients — the office was set up to serve manufacturing and logistics businesses in the region directly; previously these clients had been handled from the Hanoi office.

Four years, from six to 28 professionals

Starting with six people, the Hai Phong office now has 28 professionals across accounting, tax, legal and internal control, five of whom work fluently in Japanese or Korean and collaborate regularly with the Japan & Korea Desk in Ho Chi Minh City.

More than 150 corporate clients, around 55% of them foreign-invested.
More than 1,100 accounting and tax files handled each year.
Support with incorporation and investment licence amendments for more than 40 projects.
Nine financial and tax due diligence engagements for investors acquiring factories and warehouses.

The particular needs of regional clients

Businesses in the region have many import-export, processing and export-processing transactions, as well as dealings with overseas parent companies. The most requested services are therefore materials norm management and finalisation, transfer pricing documentation, export tax refunds, and strengthening internal controls in purchasing and warehousing.

“Clients in Hai Phong need a team that is at the factory for the stock count and in the room with the review team, not just one that replies by email. Over four years, we have built this office in exactly that spirit.” — Mr Vu Duc Thanh, Partner, Corporate Legal, and co-founder, Corvane Advisory

What comes next

In 2027, the Hai Phong office plans to expand its workspace, add an internal control advisory team and run a quarterly seminar series for chief accountants and finance directors in the region, covering topics such as new e-invoice rules, related-party transactions and supply chain risk management.

To mark the anniversary, the office hosted a gathering for long-standing clients and offered newly established businesses in the region a free quick review of their tax files until the end of September 2026.

Thanks from the team

The Hai Phong office thanks the clients who placed their trust in it from the very beginning, many of whom have stayed for all four years and introduced other businesses in their supply chains. The team also acknowledges the support of the Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Japan & Korea Desk offices during its early years.

Office hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00–17:30.
