    Finance and Accounting (F&A) teams are expected to do more than ensure compliance – they must now manage a growing array of risks while enhancing resilience and business value. Traditional risk management methods, such as periodic audits and retrospective controls, are no longer sufficient in today’s environment of macroeconomic volatility, digital transaction complexities, and heightened regulatory scrutiny. This Viewpoint introduces Finance Risk Intelligence (FRI) as a dedicated, AI-powered capability designed to embed continuous, predictive, and autonomous risk monitoring across the F&A value chain. FRI represents a distinct evolution in the F&A technology stack. These solutions function as an intelligence layer that integrates with ERP and process execution platforms to ingest financial transaction data, apply layered AI models for anomaly detection, and enable near real-time intervention. The report outlines the FRI architecture, comprising data processing, intelligence, and action layers, and details how enterprises can use FRI for use cases across procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, and record-to-report processes. It also presents the emerging provider landscape and provides practical adoption guidance, including imperatives to align people, processes, and technology.

    Enterprises are increasingly turning to modern Order-to-Cash (O2C) products in response to growing cost pressures, tighter regulations, and the need for improved agility. Once viewed as a back-office finance function, O2C is becoming a strategic enabler of cash optimization, risk management, and customer experience. This shift is driving demand for O2C solutions that combine visibility, automation, and intelligence through integrated platforms and modular deployments. In parallel, the provider landscape is evolving. Two distinct provider archetypes, receivables-focused specialists and billing-led platforms, are expanding their portfolios to offer more comprehensive O2C capabilities. Meanwhile, enterprise platforms are entering the space, intensifying competition and accelerating innovation. Providers are embedding technologies such as generative AI, embedded analytics, and orchestration capabilities to support more accurate forecasting, enhanced control, and streamlined end-to-end O2C processes. In this research, we assess 16 leading O2C products, analyzing their strengths, limitations, and market positioning to guide CFOs and finance leaders in selecting best-fit technology partners that align with their strategic and operational goals.

    In 2024, Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO) providers continued to pursue quick wins and digital enablement, while enhancing their capabilities by investing in AI-driven solutions, expanding delivery footprints, GCC services, and tailored offerings for private equity and mid-market clients. The growing focus on technology-led transformation and the need for tailored delivery models further accelerated the adoption of provider-supported hybrid delivery and GCC setups. However, the global multi-process FAO market experienced relatively slower-than-expected growth in 2024 due to economic and geopolitical uncertainties and delayed decision-making in the second half of 2024, especially in large-scale deals. As a result, while short-term growth may remain constrained due to inflation, recessionary concerns, and global instability, long-term market momentum is expected to persist, driven by steady demand for core F&A services and the need for ancillary services to support AI infrastructure readiness. In this research, we assess 34 FAO providers based on their vision and capabilities and impact on the FAO market and position them on the FAO PEAK Matrix® assessment.
