Best-fit assessment
Best for companies that want EOR as a first step, with a later move to their own Vietnam entity handled by the same firm.
Acclime publishes a full onboarding-to-offboarding scope and a dedicated account manager, but no client platform. At 15–25% of employment cost, its fee sits well above both flat-fee platforms and percentage-based specialists for typical Vietnam salaries.

What Acclime publishes for Vietnam
Acclime is a corporate services and advisory firm that states it operates in 20 markets with 29 offices, 22,000+ clients and 2,000+ employees. In June 2021 it took over the clients and staff of NVM Group, a Vietnam provider of payroll outsourcing and employee hosting, moving them into Acclime Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City office. Acclime describes its Vietnam company as a fully owned subsidiary.
Its Vietnam PEO / EOR page says Acclime becomes the legal employer of the client’s staff and lists the work in three stages: onboarding (offer letters, contract drafting, eligibility check, HR system setup), monthly services (payroll processing, benefits administration, payslips, ongoing HR support) and offboarding (exit coordination, final payroll reconciliation, termination letters, employment certificates). Each client has a dedicated account manager, and the page claims market entry “in as little as 48 hours”. Acclime also offers to form a local entity later and transfer the EOR employees into it.
Pricing signal
Expect an EOR fee of 15–25% of monthly employment cost. Acclime itself publishes no figure: its page describes pricing as “all-inclusive and without any hidden fees” and asks buyers to request a custom quote. Before onboarding, Acclime invoices a project deposit together with the first month’s payroll.
Fit and trade-offs
Reasons to shortlist
- Employs through its own Vietnam subsidiary.
- Full lifecycle published, onboarding to offboarding.
- Dedicated account manager as the single contact.
- Company formation, accounting and tax from the same firm when you outgrow EOR.
- Vietnam payroll team in place since the 2021 NVM Group takeover.
Trade-offs to test
- A 15–25% fee costs more than flat or capped fees at most Vietnam salaries.
- No client or employee platform described.
- Deposit and first payroll month are invoiced up front.
- The employing entity’s legal name is not given on the page.
Questions to ask Acclime
- Which legal entity will sign the employment contract?
- Where in the 15–25% range does the fee land for this role, and does it fall with headcount?
- How large is the deposit, and when is it returned?
- Which reports and payslips are delivered, and in what format, without a platform?
- Who is the named account manager, and who covers when they are away?
- What does transferring employees to our own entity later cost?
