Nguyen Nhac Thien An (Dorothy) – Partner at Altas Accounting – Shares Valuable Insights at BNI Mega Star’s Business Networking Event on May 22, 2025

On the morning of May 22, 2025, the BNI Mega Star Chapter welcomed its members to a dynamic and engaging business networking session, bringing together entrepreneurs across industries under the shared spirit of connection and mutual support. Among the morning's highlights was an insightful presentation by Ms. Nguyen Nhac Thien An (Dorothy), Partner of Altas Accounting and an active member of the Chapter. 

With her years of experience in professional accounting services, Ms. Dorothy delivered a compelling talk on the critical role of accounting in business development. She emphasized that accounting is not merely a task of recording numbers, but a fundamental tool for evaluating financial health and enabling strategic decision-making. “Good accounting acts as a mirror reflecting your business performance,” she explained, “and without it, companies risk navigating blindly in volatile markets.”

A key part of her presentation focused on a question that many business owners face: “Should I invest in building an in-house accounting team or outsource to a professional service provider?” Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all answer, she laid out a detailed comparison of both models, encouraging business owners to assess their needs based on scale, industry complexity, and operational resources. “The priority isn’t choosing between internal or external,” she noted, “but choosing the right partner who truly understands the language of numbers.”

Her thoughtful and strategic approach resonated with attendees, offering not only technical expertise but also practical guidance that businesses can apply immediately in their operations.

Notably, during the very same meeting, Ms. Dorothy – on behalf of Altas Corp – successfully referred a business opportunity to another company within the chapter. This meaningful gesture reflected her proactive contribution to the BNI community and demonstrated the values of collaboration and mutual growth that BNI promotes through its philosophy: “Givers Gain.”

This act of giving was more than a symbolic exchange – it exemplified Altas Corp’s growing presence in the professional services industry and its commitment to building a trusted network of long-term partnerships. Altas Accounting, a division of Altas Corp, continues to reinforce its reputation as a reliable partner for small and medium-sized enterprises, helping them build robust, transparent financial foundations.

The event also highlighted Ms. Dorothy’s role not only as a business leader but also as a bridge-builder – someone who adds real value through both knowledge sharing and meaningful connections. Her presentation was warmly received, and many members expressed appreciation for her approachable demeanor, depth of insight, and willingness to contribute to the broader success of the group.

In summary, the May 22nd BNI meeting was not just another networking event – it was a testament to the power of shared expertise and authentic collaboration. Through voices like Ms. Dorothy’s, BNI Mega Star continues to be a platform where professionals don’t just meet – they grow, give, and thrive together.
