The report helps enterprises identify key providers to transform their finance and accounting (F&A) operations. It begins with a summary of key trends that are shaping the F&A space. We then continue with detailed assessments of 21 providers offering their services in the F&A outsourcing domain. Each profile provides an overview of the service provider, its key intellectual property (IP) assets for F&A, and a list of clients and partnerships, along with brief client case studies. Each profile concludes with analyst insights on each provider’s practice maturity, domain ecosystem, and investments and innovation.
