Best-fit assessment
Best for companies hiring a small Vietnam team that want a named local expert, not a ticket queue.
Truzand is a newer entrant. Its case rests on direct, practitioner-led delivery and a fee that is transparent and capped. The trade-offs are a short public track record and no live client platform yet.

What Truzand publishes
Truzand Company Limited is registered in Ho Chi Minh City (business registration 0319593315) and describes itself as expert-led HR consulting and managed services, supported by practical technology. It publishes three core services:
- Employer of Record: Truzand is the legal employer within the agreed scope, covering employment contracts, payroll and payslips, PIT, statutory insurance and employee records. The client chooses hires and directs the work. It states a typical hire moves from scope to signed contract in one to two weeks once documents are complete.
- Outsourced payroll: monthly payroll for companies that already have a Vietnam entity, including gross-to-net, payslips, PIT and insurance preparation, and a cut-off calendar.
- HR compliance and setup: contracts, labour documents, payroll processes, and work permit, visa and temporary residence card support, priced per project.
It also offers one-off services such as PIT finalisation, social insurance claims, and labour and investment-project reporting, along with free gross-to-net and employment-cost calculators built on 2026 parameters.
Where Truzand may fit well
The large platforms and traditional workforce firms solve different problems. A global platform routes Vietnam questions through its own support layers and, in many countries, a local partner entity. A traditional staffing firm brings scale but rarely a self-serve interface. Truzand positions itself between the two: the people who run the payroll are the people the client talks to.
Reasons to shortlist
- Vietnam-only focus with in-house payroll and compliance work.
- Stated “clear contact who stays involved” rather than a rotating queue.
- Published percentage fee with a floor and a ceiling, and no setup fee.
- EOR, payroll-only and compliance work are scoped separately.
- Stated route to transfer employees to your own entity later.
Trade-offs to test
- Newer entrant: no founding date, client count or named team published.
- Client portal (Truzand Desk) is announced for Q1 2027, not live.
- Vietnam only, so a second provider is needed for other countries.
- Ask for sample payroll reports and the escalation route before signing.
Published pricing signal
Truzand’s pricing page states an EOR fee of 8% of the monthly employment cost (gross salary plus employer statutory contributions), with a minimum of US$80 and a maximum of US$250 per employee per month, no setup fee, and VAT where applicable. Its worked example is US$172.90 on an all-in monthly cost of US$2,334. Outsourced payroll starts from US$20 per employee per month.
Because the fee is a percentage, it is cheaper than flat-fee platforms for junior and mid-level salaries and reaches its US$250 cap at around US$3,125 of monthly employment cost.
