Why This Happens

3 Costly Mistakes Vietnamese Business Owners Make

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

🔀

Mixing Personal & Business Expenses

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

🧾

Not Tracking Deductible Costs Year-Round

Supplies, marketing, mileage, depreciation — 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 — 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 — 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 — 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.
