Introduction

A vision to revolutionize financial services was held back by unreliable development.

A leading automation platform for financial planners in Australia had a bold ambition: streamline Salesforce driven workflows and cut advisor workloads in half. But behind the product vision, the reality was different. A distributed team in Eastern Europe created delays, inconsistent delivery, and left the founder buried in code problems instead of leading his company forward.

The challenge

‍An overextended founder, battling unreliable teams and mounting stress.

The previous team delivered code that technically worked but lacked structure, documentation, and continuity. Every new hire struggled to navigate the codebase. Add to this the timezone gap between Australia and Eastern Europe, and progress slowed to a crawl. For the founder, a financial services veteran but not a technologist, the burden of managing technical firefighting left little space for strategy, growth, or clients.

“It felt like carrying a weight I wasn’t built to carry. I don’t have the knowledge to manage development, and it was taking me away from the business.” — CEO, Financial Automation Platform

The solution

‍A reliable, aligned development team, without the founder having to manage it.

MISSION+ stepped in to take the pressure off. We built a dedicated team in Vietnam, removing the timezone friction and restoring direct collaboration. Beyond sourcing, we owned the full lifecycle: vetting, onboarding, compliance, and administration. That meant the founder could focus on shaping product vision, while our team handled execution with speed and consistency.

‍Impact

‍Peace of mind for the founder, scalability for the platform.

With the new team in place, bugs were eliminated, new features rolled out faster, and product stability improved dramatically. More importantly, the founder got back his time and focus. Stress gave way to confidence, and the business could scale without being dragged back into technical firefighting.

“I have no hesitation recommending you. Even if we raise capital, we’ll put on another 50 developers if we can.” — CEO, Financial Automation Platform
