The Story Behind SagacityLink
Building financial confidence through practical budget education since 2020
How We Started
Back in 2020, I was sitting across from another business owner who looked completely overwhelmed. Her restaurant was doing well, but she had no idea where her money was actually going. Sound familiar? That conversation changed everything for me.
I'd spent years working with spreadsheets and budgets at larger companies, but watching small business owners struggle with basic financial planning hit differently. They weren't looking for complex investment strategies or corporate finance theories. They needed practical tools to understand their cash flow and make better decisions.
"Most business owners don't need another finance expert telling them what they're doing wrong. They need someone who can show them simple systems that actually work in the real world."
That's when SagacityLink was born. We focus exclusively on business budget essentials because that's where the biggest impact happens. When you understand where your money comes from and where it goes, everything else becomes clearer.
Meet Our Team
Two people who genuinely care about making financial planning less intimidating for business owners
Kieran Blackwood
Lead Financial Strategist
Kieran spent eight years helping mid-size companies optimize their budgets before realizing small businesses needed this support even more. He has this talent for taking complex financial concepts and explaining them in ways that actually make sense. When he's not building budget templates, you'll find him testing new Vietnamese coffee shops around Đồng Nai.
Anouk Vespucci
Budget Optimization Specialist
Anouk joined us in 2022 after running her own consulting practice for three years. She specializes in helping businesses identify unnecessary expenses without cutting corners on quality. Her background in operations management means she understands the practical challenges of implementing new financial processes. She's also our go-to person for creating realistic cash flow projections.
What Drives Us Forward
These aren't just nice words on a website. This is how we actually approach our work with every business owner who trusts us with their financial planning.
Practical Over Perfect
We'd rather give you a simple budget system you'll actually use than a complex spreadsheet that sits untouched. Real results come from consistent action, not perfect planning. Our clients succeed because our methods fit into their existing routines.
Clear Communication
No finance jargon. No confusing technical terms. If we can't explain something in plain language, we haven't done our job properly. You shouldn't need an accounting degree to understand your own business finances. We believe financial education should be accessible to everyone.
Long-term Relationships
We're not here for quick fixes or one-time consultations. Building solid financial habits takes time, and we stick with our clients through the ups and downs. Some of our longest relationships started with businesses that were barely breaking even and are now thriving.
Continuous Learning
Business conditions change constantly, especially in Vietnam's dynamic market. We regularly update our methods based on what we learn from our clients and industry developments. What worked in 2020 might need adjusting for 2025, and we're always evolving our approach.
