Key Findings & Highlights:

Finance and accounting BPS services is one of the most mature BPS services with well-established process models and offshore delivery capability. It is also mature in its adoption of point solutions in support of specific F&A processes.

However, F&A BPS is now undergoing a significant transformation. Firstly, F&A BPS has proved a fertile ground for RPA with significant implications for process quality, productivity improvement, and commercial renegotiation.

Secondly, BPaaS services are beginning to replace client-specific point solutions as a means of introducing new process models into particular edge processes or pain points within finance and accounting.

Thirdly, reporting has become much more real-time and drill-down with analytics playing an increasing role.

At the same time, the process focus of F&A BPS is also changing with P2P becoming less significant, R2R the current main focus of the market, and vendors beginning to address financial planning and budgeting.
