Challenge

Scaling the finance organization

A global IT company has steadily expanded its product and service offerings, as well as its ability to serve its customers globally. As the company grew, its finance responsibilities and processes grew exponentially more complex. 

With high administrative costs, rising Day Sales Outstanding (DSO) and falling customer satisfaction, the company needed to better see and manage its financial performance while freeing up cash to take advantage of market opportunities and grow.

To address these challenges, Accenture and the company partnered to transform its finance function by implementing robotics process automation and enhancing controls and compliance—while boosting customer and supplier service.
