From Warehouse Accountant at Nghi Son Cement to Finance Director at a Multinational Corporation
No one starts their career at the finish line.
Originating from a rural area in Thanh Hoa province, upon graduating from the Academy of Finance, Mr. Le Anh Thuy began his career as a warehouse accountant at Nghi Son Cement. From those humble beginnings, he progressively stepped into multinational environments—learning on the job, earning his CPA Vietnam and ACCA qualifications, and continuously upgrading his professional capability. Today, he serves as Finance Director at a multinational corporation.
It is a journey without shortcuts—built purely on passion, an eager-to-learn spirit, and relentless perseverance.
Above all, Mr. Thuy upholds a clear and uncompromising principle: Financial management must begin with integrity. Numbers must be real, and books must accurately reflect reality. There is no place for embellished figures, as finance professionals must possess the courage to face reality and guide leadership toward sound business decisions.
From Technical Expertise to a CFO Mindset
In this upcoming sharing session at APT Academy, Mr. Le Anh Thuy will share actionable insights drawn from his real-world career:
- Elevating Financial Management Mindset: Transitioning from a transactional accountant recording entries to a strategic business partner.
- Mastering IFRS: Understanding the “global financial language” and unlocking career opportunities in multinational corporations.
- Executing VAS – IFRS Conversion: Adopting practical methodologies and addressing real-world implementation challenges.
- Shaping the Path to CFO: Cultivating core competencies needed to elevate your professional standing in finance.
Beyond his role as a speaker, Mr. Thuy is deeply dedicated to guiding students and young professionals under his role as a mentor. Rather than focusing solely on success stories, he shares grounded, practical advice: building solid technical foundations, maintaining professional ethics, learning systematically, and steadily carving out professional positioning. A true professional not only creates value for their organization, but also empowers the next generation.
CertIFR: A Stepping Stone Toward Global Financial Standards
This talk session also highlights IFRS as the universal language of finance and its increasingly pivotal role for Accounting & Finance professionals in Vietnam. It serves as a foundation for APT Academy to introduce the CertIFR (Certificate in International Financial Reporting) program awarded by ACCA.
The program equips learners with a solid IFRS foundation, clarifies core differences between VAS and IFRS, and provides practical application skills. For young professionals, a certificate is not the ultimate destination—it is a strategic next step to expand your capabilities and unlock global career opportunities.
A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP.
