EY Integrated Finance

Integrated Finance Managed Services provides ambitious companies with the full spectrum back-office support they need to focus on what matters most. When your admin burden becomes a strategic enabler, you’ll be free to innovate, add value and accelerate your growth journey.

What EY can do for you

The world’s most innovative companies with ambitious growth plans are spending valuable executive time and resources on non-core tasks. Building fit-for-purpose back-office functions is critical to surviving and thriving, but it’s difficult to do so without distracting leaders from adding value where it matters most.

Integrated Finance Managed Services delivers instant access to non-core functions including finance, accounting, tax and beyond, powered by leading EY technology, talent, deep experience and insight. A connected, full spectrum and integrated back-office support accelerates your business through:

  • Freedom to focus on growth: Leaders can progress strategies to shape their future, knowing EY teams are managing and providing back-office processes, people and technology.
  • Future-proofed operating model: With the agility, flexibility and resilience to navigate shifting conditions, businesses are supported to stay ahead of evolving AI, regulatory and compliance changes.
  • Confident compliance that creates opportunities: EY Integrated Finance managed service will be backed by a SOC-1 Type 2 and SOC-2 report that will provide you with confidence over the internal control, as well as security and reliability of our services. This security in turn improves external audit engagement, reduces external pressure from stakeholders and builds trust that creates brand advantage.
  • Cost certainty: Working with a broad alliance ecosystem gives organizations access to advanced technology investments that improve efficiency and provide the cost certainty required to deliver real long-term value.
  • Faster IPO journey: Integrating disparate processes into common, consistent frameworks powered by data, technology and talent elevates performance. With flexibility and resilience, you will be ready to seize your IPO opportunity.

For growing organizations, particularly ambitious startups, finance and back-office must evolve from a purely operational focus to becoming business enablers. How an organization manages its money, builds partnerships and nurtures new investors determines whether it will survive or thrive.

But it’s increasingly difficult to build a proactive, data-driven back-office at speed. Talent is hard to find, optimizing technology requires continual investment and maintaining operational flexibility during growth is challenging. Turning to different external providers to fill the gap can often add to the administrative burden, creating confusion and inefficiencies — and CFOs spend up to 40% of their time managing HR issues.

With more pressure to reach growth targets, or even achieve IPO, organizations need a better way. Moving from a short-term approach to fixing immediate problems, to one focused on unlocking value where it matters most, can optimize overall business performance, while freeing up resources and investment, and enabling scalability at speed. When leaders have the confidence to accelerate growth, they can shape a stronger future.
