Built on fifteen years of watching companies struggle with compliance
Back in 2010, we started CerevoCon after seeing too many finance teams drowning in spreadsheets at 2 AM. The Vietnamese market was growing fast, but the regulatory framework? Even faster. Someone needed to build something that actually worked.
We're not going to claim we revolutionized anything. What we did was spend a decade and a half talking to finance directors, compliance officers, and stressed-out accountants. Then we built software that addresses the stuff they actually deal with every day.
How we got here
Three moments that shaped what CerevoCon became. Not the whole story, but the parts that matter most to how we work with clients now.
The spreadsheet years
Started as a consulting team helping businesses in Gia Lai navigate SBV reporting requirements. We used Excel because that's what everyone used. Learned what breaks under pressure and what questions keep CFOs awake.
Building the first system
Wrote our first automated reporting tool for a manufacturing client in early 2016. It wasn't pretty, but it cut their monthly compliance work from three weeks to four days. Word spread. We hired our first developer in 2017 and haven't stopped iterating since.
Refining based on reality
COVID changed everything about how businesses operate. We adapted our systems for remote teams and irregular reporting schedules. Now we serve 140+ companies across Vietnam with compliance workflows that actually match how modern finance departments function.
What we actually do differently
Most compliance software gets built by people who've never filed a regulatory report. Ours gets built by people who spent years doing exactly that. There's a difference.
We don't automate every single thing because not everything should be automated. Some decisions need human judgment. Our system handles the repetitive verification work and flags the stuff that needs your attention.
Where we focus
- Building templates that match actual SBV formats so you're not reformatting exports
- Setting up validation rules based on common errors we've seen over thousands of reports
- Creating audit trails that make sense when regulators ask questions six months later
- Keeping everything accessible when your team works from different locations
We update the system when regulations change. That happened fourteen times in 2024 alone. Your finance team shouldn't need to become regulatory experts just to stay compliant.
Who you'll work with
Small team, deep expertise. Everyone here has either worked in finance operations or built compliance systems. Usually both.

Operations Director
Liora joined us in 2018 after spending six years managing compliance for a regional bank. She knows the regulations inside out because she had to apply them daily. Now she runs our client onboarding and makes sure new implementations actually work for how teams operate.
When clients hit unusual reporting scenarios, Liora's usually the one who figures out the workaround. She's also the reason our documentation doesn't read like a technical manual.
