Message from EY Regional Managing Partner, Asean

Greetings from EY Asean

2022 marks a special year as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of EY in Vietnam. This is indeed a significant milestone. Congratulations to the founders, partners, people and alumni for building a successful professional services organization that is also one of the largest in the country with 1,600 professionals and counting.

EY Vietnam traces its roots to its humble beginnings in the early 1990s. The firm was founded on an ambition to build an organization that drives the growth of the professional services industry in tandem with the development of the financial and investment landscape in Vietnam. Established in 1992, it is the first 100% foreign-invested accounting and advisory firm in Vietnam, and the first accounting firm with a full-service operation license.

EY Vietnam grew to become a trusted brand in leading the audit of banking and financial institutions, and in supporting the privatization and reforms of state-owned enterprises. In this journey, EY Vietnam has grown in scale and diversity to become a full-fledged professional services provider that delivers value-added Assurance, Tax, Consulting, and Strategy and Transactions services to our clients.  A lot has changed in the past 30 years. Yet, what remains unchanged is the visionary leadership, courage and agility to bring unstinting exceptional services to our clients then and now.

The professional services industry has not only gained greater prominence with Vietnam’s growth and development; it is also seen as a key enabler to help state-owned enterprises and public and private organizations transform for the future. EY Vietnam has played a central role in shaping the professional services industry by representing the industry’s voice through advocacy and education, and in doing so, contributing to the uplifting of the broader economy.

Beyond the country, EY Vietnam is also an important contributor to the growth of EY in our Asean region, serving some of the largest brands in Vietnam and in key sectors such as financial services, government and public sector, technology, media and entertainment, and telecommunications. As One Asean, our collective ability to invest and mobilize talents across the region enables us to make a greater impact on our clients in Vietnam, as we work with them to transform, build trust and seize opportunities in a fast-evolving business landscape.

This yearbook is as much about celebrating the support of our stakeholders as it is about recognizing the unyielding spirit of our EY Vietnam people in delivering on our purpose of Building a better working world.  I trust you will enjoy this account of the first 30 years of EY Vietnam, as we look forward to many more wonderful years to come.
