Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) PEAK Matrix® Assessment 2023

Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) 

The global multi-process Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) market continued to grow at a steady rate of 11-13% in 2022 and is expected to continue this growth trajectory for the next three years. Surging inflation, the recessionary environment, and geopolitical instability, coupled with the volatility that the pandemic left the enterprises in, have increased enterprises’ openness to leverage third-party service provider support for their finance functions. The strategic focus of service providers is becoming more elevated as they emphasize upstream F&A operations alongside routine tasks. This change underlines how corporations are realizing the strategic value of F&A. At the same time, there is a growing focus on non-traditional F&A areas, including risk management, compliance, sustainability, and data & analytics. Notably, cognitive technologies have moved from pilot stages to widespread usage, denoting a considerable change in the approach to and execution of F&A activities. Advisory services are becoming prominent, with service providers supporting enterprises to successfully navigate through complex financial environments. These trends are driving incremental changes in the commercial construct of FAO deals, indicating an evolving and value-driven industry landscape.

Top Finance and Accounting Outsourcing Services

The global multi-process Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) market has continued to grow at a steady rate of approximately 10% in 2022. Surging inflation, a recessionary environment, and geopolitical instability, coupled with pandemic-induced volatility, are driving enterprises to leverage third-party provider support for their finance functions. The need for digital transformation, an increasing number of first-time outsourcers, and growing demand for next-generation technology and high-end Finance and Accounting (F&A) work from mature outsourcers will continue to drive market growth in the near-term.

Some of the key means by which providers are differentiating themselves is by offering end-to-end transformation solutions, combined with domain and industry expertise and innovative Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) solutions, flexible pricing models, a design thinking-led approach, transformation frameworks, and next-generation offerings leveraging automation and analytics.

In collapsing the technology stack, companies move from running financial management software on their servers with a license update to cloud-based SaaS systems (such as Intacct or NetSuite) that provide the software and a more flexible set of reporting functions.
