Finance & Accounting Outsourcing Market - Beyond Costs moving to Transformation
According to an article in www.the-outsocurcing .com written by Saranya Sundararaja, Senior
Research Analyst at Beroe Inc., the Finance & Accounting BPO market is expected to surpass
US$ 25 billion in 2013, and grow at a CAGR of around 8% between 2012 and 2017. The overall
Global BPO market is estimated to be US$304 billion and the share of F&A BPO of the total
market is 8%. Most of the organizations (75%) have outsourced their FAO mostly termed as P2P
(procure to pay), O2C (order to cash) and R2R (record to report). The key factors driving the
growth of this market are primarily cost savings (ranging 25% - 40% on current cost base), labor
arbitrage (low cost locations labor cost is one third of the developed markets labor cost),
efficiency focus, standardization, innovation and innovative technologies. Most of the Fortune
500 companies outsource primarily transactions related to Accounts Payable, Accounts
Receivable, Payroll and General Accounting. A growing number of technology companies are
leveraging third-party service delivery, with the number of global services agreements rising
from 20 per year to 50 a year over the last ten years. The average length of contract [5 years]
and average size of contract ($4.7 million for F&A) is relatively unchanged, according to recent
Everest Group research. The largest buyers of FAO services are Telecom, Manufacturing and
BFSI, however, in terms of growth, Telecom, Media and Publishing, and Retail are facing
highest growth (CAGR of 8-10%).
F&A BPO Market has matured over the years and with the entry of new players like small,
medium and large players over the years, the market also has become highly competitive. Most
of the F&A outsourcing contracts these days have either outcome based pricing model or gain
sharing model where the pricing is tied to achieving certain specific outcomes or goals. Clients
are demanding more from the vendors other than cost savings they want the vendors to
participate in their business transformation and create significant impact. Financial Planning and
Analysis, Budgeting, Forecasting and Internal Audit are some of the processes that are being
outsourced to third party vendors which are high risk and high pay in nature. In terms of business
transformational activities like Financial Process Consulting, Change management and
supporting innovation roadmap, the level of outsourcing has increased by 20% to 25% over the
last 3 years, according to Saranya Sundararaja, Senior Research Analyst at Beroe Inc. Another
important aspect is the integration of analytics into the F&A BPO where some of the vendors are
also offering predictive analytics and other advanced data analytics offerings along with the
traditional Reporting to clients as well. Indian BPO Vendors have built significant market share
in the F&A BPO market over the years and they now have to build skills or acquire skills that
help them in offering high end judgment based services to the clients and move up the value
chain.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fabpomarket2013-140915090520-phpapp02/85/Finance-Accounting-Outsourcing-Market-Beyond-Costs-moving-to-Transformation-1-320.jpg?cb=1410771993)
