We started with a simple question
Why do finance teams struggle to communicate clearly when the numbers tell such compelling stories?
Back in early 2020, three of us sat in a cramped office in Nam Định, staring at spreadsheets that nobody outside our department seemed to understand. We had all this data, all these insights, but somehow the message kept getting lost between departments.
How it actually began
The first client wasn't even a client. It was a manufacturing company down the street that kept making the same budget mistakes every quarter. Their finance team understood the problem perfectly, but operations? Marketing? They might as well have been speaking different languages.
We spent three weeks just sitting in their meetings. Not consulting. Just watching how information moved, or more accurately, how it didn't move. The patterns became obvious once you stopped looking at the spreadsheets and started watching the people.
That's when we realized something. Finance education focuses so much on technical skills, but almost nothing on the human side. How do you explain cash flow to someone who thinks in product units? How do you make a balance sheet relevant to a sales manager?
Numbers mean nothing until someone can explain why they matter. That became our entire approach.
The people behind the programs
We're not a big operation. Just experienced finance professionals who got tired of watching good data turn into bad decisions because of poor communication.
Rowan Kellerman
Financial Communication Specialist
Spent fifteen years in corporate finance before realizing most problems weren't about the numbers. Rowan focuses on helping finance teams translate technical concepts into language that operations and management actually use.
Matteo Bridger
Management Systems Advisor
Worked with Vietnamese manufacturing firms for over a decade. Matteo specializes in building communication frameworks that work across departments, particularly in companies where finance feels isolated from the rest of the business.
Our Approach
Collaborative Development
Every program we build gets tested with real finance teams first. We spend months refining each module based on what actually works in Vietnamese business environments, not what sounds good in theory.
What drives our work
We believe finance professionals shouldn't have to choose between technical excellence and clear communication. Both skills matter. Both can be learned. And when you combine them properly, the entire organization benefits from better decisions based on shared understanding.
How we build programs that stick
Start with real scenarios
We use actual situations from Vietnamese companies. Not theoretical case studies from textbooks. Real budget conflicts, real communication breakdowns, real cross-department challenges that participants recognize immediately.
Practice before implementation
Every technique gets tested in small group settings first. Participants try different approaches, see what feels natural, adjust based on feedback. By the time they use these methods at work, they've already refined them.
Build gradual complexity
We start with basic communication principles and add layers over time. Month one might focus on explaining variance reports. Month three tackles stakeholder presentations. Month six deals with board-level communication. Each builds on previous skills.
Support beyond the classroom
Participants get access to our resource library and monthly discussion sessions. When they hit a communication challenge at work, they have examples and frameworks to reference. The learning doesn't stop when the program ends.
Our next cohort starts in September 2025. Programs run for six months with monthly in-person sessions and ongoing online support.
