The F&A BPO market in the UK is shifting dramatically. It’s no longer about cutting costs. The marker is projected to reach $32 billion in 2025, with a clear focus on strategic value. We’re seeing a significant adoption of RPA, which can automate up to 70% of routine F&A tasks.

By enabling this level of automation, a partner like Viante frees up internal teams from manual work, allowing them to focus on high-value-added activities like financial planning and analysis. This transforms the finance function from a back office expense into a strategic engine for growth and innovation.
