Finance & Accounting BPO
Outsourcers managing accounting, payables, receivables, and reporting processes.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) (1.2.1), the segment that Finance & Accounting BPO sits within — not Finance & Accounting BPO on its own.
No discrete Census NAICS code. BPO falls into 561499 and 561990 — the "all other" residual buckets that hold whatever the classification could not place elsewhere — so those codes can size neither the segment nor its geography, and no figure is published from them. The true market is larger regardless: the offshore delivery that defines the model is not counted in U.S. receipts at all.
