[Press Release] Ascentium Vietnam Debuts as one of the Country’s Largest Corporate Services Platform Following Dezan Shira Acquisition

Ascentium, a leading global business services platform headquartered in Singapore, has completed its acquisition of Dezan Shira & Associates (“Dezan Shira”) and is unifying its Vietnam operations with InCorp Vietnam, An Ascentium Company (“InCorp Vietnam”), under a single brand: Ascentium Vietnam.

This strategic move establishes one of the largest non-audit corporate services platforms in Vietnam, strengthening Ascentium Vietnam’s ability to support foreign investors with integrated, end-to-end solutions across market entry, operations, and expansion.

With nearly 150 professionals across Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Danang, Ascentium Vietnam will operate nationwide, delivering seven integrated service lines: business intelligence, market entry, accounting, tax, payroll compliance and advisory, HR consulting and recruitment, and technology and enterprise resource planning (ERP) advisory.

The integration significantly expands Ascentium’s scale, reach, and local expertise at a pivotal time for Vietnam’s foreign investment landscape. As the country continues to attract strong foreign direct investment (FDI), driven by its growing role in global supply chains, expanding consumer market, and ambitious economic development plans, businesses face increasing regulatory complexity and higher expectations for compliance and governance.

This move positions Ascentium Vietnam to support investors across the full lifecycle of their operations, from pre-investment assessment to long-term operational management. The introduction of business intelligence services strengthens early-stage advisory capabilities, enabling investors to assess market dynamics, evaluate operating models, and identify regulatory risks.

At the same time, integration enhances technology and ERP advisory capabilities, helping businesses localize global systems, integrate third-party tools, and implement scalable, compliant, and AI-enabled solutions. These capabilities improve operational visibility, efficiency, and control, supporting sustainable growth in Vietnam’s evolving regulatory environment.

The combined platform brings together InCorp Vietnam’s strengths in incorporation, accounting, tax, payroll, HR, compliance, and business process outsourcing (BPO), with Dezan Shira’s advisory expertise in regulatory analysis, investment structuring, international tax and transfer pricing, internal control, and risk management.

Ascentium Vietnam now operates as part of a global platform spanning 27 markets, with expanded international reach through Dezan Shira’s presence in Mongolia, Poland, Germany, and Italy. This network enables the firm to deliver locally executed solutions supported by regional and global expertise for cross-border investments and multi-country operations.

Lennard Yong, Founding Management and Group CEO of Ascentium, said, “This milestone affirms our commitment to Vietnam as a strategic market while creating a single, connected platform that combines global expertise with unmatched local insight. Our goal is to help investors not only enter Vietnam but thrive here for the long term.”

Alberto Vettoretti, Managing Partner of Dezan Shira & Associates, commented, “We’ve been warmly welcomed by Ascentium, and joining the firm marks an exciting new chapter for Dezan Shira & Associates. Bringing our Vietnamese teams together establishes one of the country’s leading corporate service providers at a time when the global landscape is becoming increasingly multipolar, and new markets are rising in strategic importance. We’re confident this platform positions us to help businesses move early, execute decisively, and win in complex, fast changing environments.”

Jack Nguyen, CEO of Ascentium Vietnam, added, “Uniting our strengths under the Ascentium Vietnam brand means clients can count on a single platform for market entry and long-term growth. With complex regulatory requirements for businesses’ market expansion, having integrated business intelligence, advisory, and execution capabilities under one roof helps investors navigate with greater confidence.”
