Our Financial Methodology

We've spent years developing practical budgeting approaches that work for busy people in Vietnam's dynamic economy. Our methods focus on real-world application rather than theoretical concepts.

The PulseWave Method

Most budgeting systems fail because they ignore how people actually spend money. We developed our approach by watching what works for thousands of clients dealing with Vietnam's unique financial landscape – from seasonal business fluctuations to family obligations.

  • 1
    Map your actual spending patterns over 30 days without judgment or changes
  • 2
    Identify the three spending categories that matter most to your life satisfaction
  • 3
    Create flexible boundaries that adapt to irregular income and unexpected expenses
  • 4
    Build micro-habits that require less than 5 minutes daily to maintain

How We Assess Your Situation

Initial Discovery Call

We spend 45 minutes understanding your current financial reality. Not your goals or dreams – just where your money actually goes each month. Many clients are surprised by what this reveals about their true priorities.

Spending Pattern Analysis

Using anonymous data from similar households in Vietnam, we identify which of your expenses are typical and which ones might be opportunities for optimization. This isn't about cutting everything – it's about conscious choices.

Custom Framework Design

We create a budgeting system that matches your actual behavior patterns, not an ideal version of yourself. If you never remember to track daily expenses, we won't build a system that requires it.

Implementation Support

The first month is crucial. We provide weekly check-ins to adjust the system based on what actually happens, not what we thought would happen. Real life always wins over perfect plans.

Duc Minh

Senior Financial Analyst

Duc has worked with over 800 Vietnamese families since 2019. His specialty is helping people with irregular income create sustainable budgets. Before joining us, he spent six years at a major Ho Chi Minh City bank analyzing personal loan applications – experience that taught him what financial stress actually looks like.

Thanh Long - Methodology Director

Thanh Long

Methodology Director

Thanh developed our core assessment framework after noticing that traditional budgeting advice ignored Vietnamese cultural expectations around family support. He holds degrees in behavioral economics and has published research on spending patterns in emerging markets. His approach focuses on what people actually do, not what financial textbooks say they should do.

Measuring What Matters

We track progress differently than most financial services. Instead of focusing only on money saved, we measure whether our clients feel more confident about their financial decisions.

Decision Confidence

We measure how comfortable clients feel making spending decisions without anxiety or second-guessing. This often improves before the actual numbers do.

Time Investment

Our goal is systems that take less time to maintain each month, not more. If budgeting becomes a part-time job, something's wrong with the approach.

Adaptation Rate

How quickly clients adjust their budgets when life changes – new job, family situation, or unexpected expenses. Flexibility matters more than perfection.

System Sustainability

Whether clients still use our methods after six months without ongoing support. The best system is one you don't need us to maintain.
