Why This Happens

3 Costly Mistakes Vietnamese Business Owners Make

These are not failures β€” they're what happens when you're running a business without the right advisor speaking your language.

πŸ”€

Mixing Personal & Business Expenses

Using one bank account for everything makes it impossible to track deductions β€” and gives the IRS a reason to disallow your claims.

🧾

Not Tracking Deductible Costs Year-Round

Supplies, marketing, mileage, depreciation β€” if you're not logging it monthly, you'll forget it by tax time and lose thousands.

❓

Not Knowing What's Actually Deductible

Many owners don't know that equipment, software, staff meals, and home office expenses can all be written off β€” often fully in Year 1.

Bookkeeping Made Simple

Clean Books = More Money Kept.
Here's How to Start.

You don't need to be an accountant. You need a simple system that makes tax season easy and ensures you never miss a deduction again.

1

Separate Your Bank Accounts

Open a dedicated business checking account β€” day one. Never mix personal and business money.

2

Track Every Receipt Monthly

Use an app (Wave, QuickBooks, or even a spreadsheet) to log every expense by category every month β€” not at year-end.

3

Know Your Deduction Categories

Use our industry-specific checklist so you know exactly which expenses to log and how to categorize them for IRS purposes.

4

Review with a CPA Every Quarter

A 30-minute quarterly check with a Vietnamese-speaking CPA can save you thousands by catching issues before tax season.
