McCain Foods partners with WNS for F&A transformation

WNS, one of the leading providers of global Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, announced that it has partnered with McCain Foods, a global leader in planet-friendly food, to transform and manage its Finance & Accounting (F&A) function.

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, McCain Foods made the strategic business decision to transition their F&A processes from their incumbent service provider to a new BPM partner. WNS’s domain expertise in the consumer goods and the manufacturing industries, robust governance model, and proven track record of delivering “co-created” finance transformation were the driving factors behind the selection.

“Today, chief financial officers across the globe are increasingly responsible for driving business strategy and enabling growth,” said Keshav R Murugesh, Group chief executive officer, WNS. “WNS, through its intelligent, automated F&A offerings powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, is helping chief financial officers create superior finance organizations by accelerating speed, increasing accuracy, harnessing the power of data, and reducing cost.”

“We chose to partner with WNS for our F&A processing given the need for more intelligent automation opportunities close to our operations in India, accelerated by the rapidly changing dynamics brought on by the pandemic. Apart from their extensive experience, WNS brings a strong collaborative approach that has made them a valuable partner. They could adapt and manage an effective remote transition, including complex tri-partite governance, and ensured appropriate work from home security protocols. We witnessed effective knowledge transfer without any operational needs being missed over our year-end timelines. We are very happy to continue on this journey with WNS as a partner,” said Pierre Danet, chief financial officer, McCain Foods.

WNS partners with over 100 CFOs’ offices across industries to co-create differentiation by building a digitally enabled finance function. The company leverages deep domain expertise, strategic processes, transformation frameworks, an ecosystem of intelligent technologies, and global delivery models to drive enhanced business outcomes. With over two decades of experience in collaborating with global CFOs and marquee brands, WNS has the understanding and expertise to build robust, insight-driven, and future-ready finance functions.
