Key Findings & Highlights:

The F&A BPO market continues to grow steadily, with high growth in record-to-report services counterbalancing more modest growth in purchase-to-pay.

Overall:

  • P2P is becoming less significant in market and is the main focus of RPA and BPaaS to drive out cost and FTEs
  • R2R is currently the main focus of major F&A BPO vendors and accounting for increasing proportion of activity
  • Financial planning & budgeting is in its early stages but some vendors beginning to target this area
  • Tax accounting: Big Four beginning to look at partnering with BPO vendors while BPO vendors are starting to encroach on the former territory of Big Four
  • RPA will typically take 20% of FTEs out of F&A and quickly
  • Pricing increasingly moving from FTE-based to transactional and fixed price under onslaught of RPA
  • BPaaS increasingly offered around silos/pain points
  • Analytics increasingly being integrated into services to drive behavior.
