Who We Are

A firm founded on independence

HSP Consulting was established in 2017 to give expatriates and businesses in Southeast Asia something genuinely scarce in the region: truly independent financial and corporate advice, free of product ties and hidden incentives.

From our headquarters in Hanoi and offices in Singapore, New York and London, we advise individuals and companies on wealth planning, pensions, business consulting, and mergers & acquisitions — always sitting firmly on our client’s side of the table.

Independent

No product ties. Advice aligned to your interests, never a provider’s.

Discreet

Confidentiality at every stage, from first conversation to final signature.

Cross-border

Global reach with deep, on-the-ground knowledge of Southeast Asia.

Long-term

We measure success by relationships sustained over decades, not deals closed.

Three and a half decades of doing it right

Brian Spence · Founder & Managing Director

Brian founded HSP Consulting in 2017, bringing more than 35 years of experience in financial services across the UK and Asia. His conviction was simple: clients deserve advice that is genuinely independent — not the product-led sales that dominate so much of the industry.

Under his leadership, HSP has grown into a multi-disciplinary advisory firm spanning wealth management, pensions, business consulting and M&A, recognised with awards for financial planning and deal advisory across Vietnam.

“Our only job is to give clients the advice we’d want for ourselves — clear, honest, and entirely on their side.”
