Her approach combines traditional accounting principles with modern digital tools, making complex budget scenarios accessible to business owners who prefer hands-on involvement in their financial planning.

His expertise lies in creating flexible budget frameworks that can adapt to rapidly changing business conditions. He's developed several proprietary forecasting models that account for Vietnam's unique economic factors, including seasonal business patterns and currency fluctuations that affect import-dependent industries.
