Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO)

Outsource all or part of your accounting processes to a specialist third party so that you can refocus on your core business
“Our teams support finance departments by delivering operational solutions that combine flexibility, improved service quality, cost reduction and data security, regardless of the organisation’s sector or size.”

Our expertise

Outsourced management of your accounting processes

An increasing number of organisations are now choosing to transfer all or part of their finance function – previously managed in-house – to a specialist third party. When the outsourcing project is carried out effectively, in a genuine spirit of partnership with the service provider, the organisation can focus on its core business and thus achieve cost savings, whilst benefiting from the expertise of a specialist external firm.

At Ad Astra, our teams support these organisations by delivering solutions that combine improved service quality, cost reduction, flexibility and data security.

We provide finance departments with tailored and optimised resources: shared service centres in France (Paris, Lorient, Lyon and Lille) and the integration of the latest technologies into operational processing.

We are strongly committed, through the implementation of key performance indicators (KPIs), to the level of service quality delivered (SLA) and to the reliability of the associated internal control framework.

Identifying the challenges facing the company:

  • Breakdown of the objectives of the requirement and a transformation roadmap,
  • Aligning IT operations with business priorities,
  • Determining human and financial, resources
  • Identifying the impacts on the organisation.
