Who We Are

EPS Investing is an independent advisory firm specialising in corporate restructuring across two areas: Operational Restructuring and Financial Restructuring. We work directly with business owners to strengthen business performance, improve productivity and build financial resilience.

Operational Restructuring focuses on redesigning management and operating processes, improving coordination and controls, increasing productivity and managing costs. AI and automation form a distinct part of this service, applied to suitable workflows where they can deliver measurable improvements.

Financial Restructuring focuses on cash flow management, working capital optimisation, debt and capital structure, and stronger financial planning. Each recommendation is assessed for its feasibility and implications for the business.

EPS combines management, corporate finance and hands-on executive experience. Our lean advisory model keeps senior advisors directly involved, with analytical, implementation and specialist resources brought in according to the agreed scope of each engagement.

Improving Performance Across Operations and Finance

Process ▸ Technology ▸ Finance reflects how EPS connects management process improvement with the purposeful use of technology and measurable business outcomes.

Performance improvement may begin with an inconsistent sales process, time-consuming manual work, fragmented management information or rising operating costs. Where appropriate, EPS redesigns the underlying processes and applies AI, automation or the technology the business already uses to improve execution.

Changes are evaluated against business results, such as productivity, processing time, service quality, revenue, costs or profitability. For cash flow, working capital or capital structure issues, a business can engage EPS directly for Financial Restructuring Advisory.

The two advisory areas can be engaged independently or together when circumstances warrant. EPS begins by identifying a specific issue it can address and agreeing on objectives, scope, deliverables and fees before work starts.

Who We Work With

EPS primarily works with owners of established businesses facing meaningful management, operational or financial complexity. They may be seeking to improve processes, productivity, costs, cash flow or financial structure during growth, transformation or periods of business pressure.

An engagement may start with one process that needs improvement, a practical AI or automation opportunity, or a financial issue affecting day-to-day operations and future growth. Each assignment is designed around the business’s objectives and available resources.

EPS works directly with the business owner and collaborates with the people responsible for the relevant processes, data and resources to support effective implementation.

How We Work with Clients

An engagement may begin with a focused review of sales processes, management reporting, operating costs, cash flow, working capital or debt structure. Together with the client, EPS assesses the current position, identifies underlying causes and priorities, and agrees on an appropriate scope.

Our work generally follows four stages: assessment, solution design, implementation and results measurement. A business can begin with a focused assignment and expand only when the outcomes and evolving needs justify it.

Working Principles

EPS focuses on solutions grounded in business realities, measurable objectives and clearly defined responsibilities.

  • Independent judgement: assess each issue in light of the business’s actual position, objectives and interests, without assuming that a company-wide restructuring programme is required.
  • Evidence-based recommendations: distinguish verified data, assumptions requiring validation and professional judgement, while defining indicators to track results.
  • Practical execution: consider the people, processes, systems, resources and time required to implement changes, making use of existing technology where suitable.
  • Clear accountability: agree from the outset on scope, deliverables, responsible parties, milestones and communication arrangements.

Where an engagement requires additional legal, tax, technology or industry expertise, EPS coordinates with appropriate specialists under roles and responsibilities agreed with the client.

Management and Restructuring Experience

EPS’s senior advisors have held roles including CFO, CEO, Chair and Board Member. Hands-on experience at Steel Builder and C47, as well as companies within the State Capital Investment Corporation (SCIC) portfolio, informs an approach that connects management, operations, corporate finance and the implementation of change.

Across previous roles in investment, finance, legal, management and advisory work, EPS advisors have participated in more than 50 transactions and projects in Vietnam with a cumulative value exceeding USD 2 billion. These figures reflect the advisors’ experience in those roles, rather than assignments delivered by EPS itself.

This background also includes negotiating a USD 185 million EPC contract and related financing arrangements in Laos, and working with Finnish businesses through the Vietnam–Finland Innovation Partnership Programme. These experiences contribute practical strengths in management, stakeholder coordination and cross-border engagement.

Professional Contributions and Knowledge Sharing

EPS leadership has shared perspectives on economics, investment, finance and management in Bloomberg Businessweek, Tuoi Tre, Thanh Nien, Phu Nu Viet Nam, Nguoi Do Thi and other publications.

EPS members also share practical knowledge with students and managers at Ho Chi Minh City Open University, Ton Duc Thang University, the University of Economics and Law at Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology and Education, and other institutions. Topics include investment, management, innovation and business capability development.

Our Team

EPS brings together advisors with experience in corporate finance, management, restructuring, executive leadership, investment and legal matters. Senior advisors remain directly involved in client engagements and draw on additional expertise and resources suited to each assignment.
