At 10,000 invoices a month, a U.S. finance team can cost 3-4× more per transaction than a Vietnam-based equivalent and attrition, ERP friction and regional complexity can widen the gap further.
That makes location strategy a much bigger finance decision than comparing salary benchmarks. Vietnam brings a strong mix of 20,000+ F&A graduates entering the market each year, attrition at around 17%, and a 15-20% cost advantage over the Philippines, with competitive economics at Senior/Lead level against India.
The bigger question is how those economics hold up when the scope moves beyond transactional AP/AR into multi-ERP workflows, regional documentation, GL, reporting and more complex finance operations.
Our latest assessment looks at the cost, talent, capability and implementation trade-offs finance leaders should weigh before putting Vietnam on their SSC shortlist including how a 3-6 month pilot can validate the model before wider rollout.
