Access to the finance function of the future
Facing the need to evolve finance into a more strategic partner to the business, leaders find themselves bound within traditional operating models built around manual processes and fragmented technologies. Meanwhile, AI is upending the notions of how work can be done, in which the quality of finance operations and data has become a differentiator. These functions must respond to a supercharged pace of change amid persistent talent shortages, so that executives are equipped with actionable intelligence that helps them drive long-term value.
These goals to do more with less are not in conflict, and EY Finance Managed Services teams have a long track record of delivering upon them for a finance function that is agile, scalable and insight-driven. Our professionals make up one multidisiplinary team that can work on a preconfigured platform backed by EY alliances, if needed, and they take on transaction processing and compliance, for instance. Close cycles, reconciliation efforts and reporting turnaround are all baselined and tracked against committed service levels. We also stabilize control environments, clear backlogs and address root causes, then operate the process so the finding does not return.
And in the age of agentic AI, intelligent automation and analytics can deliver value only when built on consistent processes, trusted data and modern operating foundations. With that in mind, the EY Finance Managed Services model creates AI-powered decision support and insights across the enterprise. We build and operate the finance data foundation, we standardize processes and then we automate what is left. Finance functions can operate at a lower cost and with greater efficiency, but more importantly, they are positioned to gain the predictive intelligence and strategic guidance needed to compete in a rapidly evolving market.
