We started Drift-Code because we kept seeing the same problem — great projects failing not from lack of vision, but from budget chaos and financial surprises that could have been avoided.
After watching too many promising Vietnamese startups stumble over budget management, we realized something was missing. Traditional financial tools were either too complex or too generic. Local businesses needed something that understood their specific challenges — from seasonal cash flow patterns to the unique regulatory environment in Vietnam.
We spent two years working directly with manufacturing companies in Kiên Giang province. The patterns became clear — budget overruns happened at predictable stages, usually around month 3 and month 7 of projects. Armed with this data, we started building tools that could spot these danger zones before they became disasters.
By 2023, we'd helped over 200 Vietnamese businesses avoid the budget pitfalls that used to derail their projects. Our approach moved beyond simple expense tracking to predictive financial planning that actually works in the Vietnamese market context.
Today, we're focused on one thing — making project budget management so straightforward that you can focus on what really matters: growing your business. We've seen what happens when finances are handled right from the start, and that's the standard we're working to make normal, not exceptional.
Three core areas where we've consistently helped businesses avoid the financial mistakes that can turn promising projects into expensive lessons.
We build financial models based on real Vietnamese business patterns. Our forecasts account for local factors like seasonal variations, supplier payment cycles, and regulatory requirements that generic tools miss completely.
Most budget problems are visible weeks before they become crises. We've identified the specific warning signs that matter in Vietnamese markets and built systems that alert you when intervention can still make a difference.
Everything we recommend can be implemented by your existing team. No consultant dependency, no complex software requirements. Just clear processes that integrate with how Vietnamese businesses actually operate day-to-day.
Working exclusively in Vietnam for six years has taught us things you won't find in international business textbooks. We understand the financial rhythms of Vietnamese commerce — from Tet planning cycles to monsoon season cash flow management.
Small team, deep expertise. We've deliberately stayed focused rather than growing large, because effective budget management requires understanding your business, not just processing your numbers.
