Conduent ebook “Optimizing finance operations through outsourcing: what works best? Assessing the input of 200 CFOs” guides CFOs in FA&P outsourcing

FLORHAM PARK, N.J.: New research based on a survey of 200 CFOs by Everest Group, supported by Conduent Incorporated (Nasdaq: CNDT), a global technology-led business solutions and services company, shows that outsourcing finance and accounting with Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) providers helps internal teams quickly achieve meaningful efficiency benefits.

Finance areas with the highest ROI when outsourced

CFOs participating in the survey reported an average return on investment of 15% on their company’s finance-related outsourcing investments, with four areas showing the largest ROI:

Additional Findings:

• Operational efficiency is at the top of the CFOs’ list when ranking important outcomes with 46% of responders indicating highest importance, followed by improving business metrics at 39%.

• 94% of respondents plan to focus outsourcing efforts on predictive and prescriptive analytics in the next three to five years.

“We work with CFOs every day, tackling their business challenges such as solving for a lack of defined policies and standardized processes or limited use of process automation tools,” said Jeff Weiner, President, BPaaS Solutions at Conduent. “Successful outsourcing partnerships stem from due diligence, vetting capabilities and experience plus evaluating an outsourcing partner’s approach and alignment with the company’s objectives. When companies connect with the right outsourcing partner, FA&P teams quickly achieve the benefits of outsourcing.”

The ebook, titled “Optimizing finance operations through outsourcing: what works best?,” packages the research findings with Conduent’s expertise and insights in managing international Finance, Accounting and Procurement (FA&P) enterprise operations and provides CFOs a guide to successful outsourcing.
