Summary: Skepticism still exists regarding the appeal and value of multi-process finance and accounting outsourcing (FAO) efforts. Some argue that individual single-process outsourcing deals are preferable. Others emphasize shared services and/or investing in internal improvement initiatives to elevate finance and accounting performance and reduce costs. Still others promote aggressive FAO – often to remote, low-cost delivery locations – as a must-have weapon in the CFO’s arsenal. In this Perspective, EquaTerra experts highlight the options organizations have at their disposal to improve F&A efficiency and effectiveness.
