Accounting Outsourcing in Tunisia: More Details
Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) is the practice of outsourcing the complete or partial management of a business process to a third-party company, such as accounting outsourcing. The main goal of BPO is to allow companies to focus on their core activities while reducing operational costs. This approach has been adopted by large companies for many years and has proven to be effective for various business processes, including general services, sales administration, tele-secretarial services, telemarketing, and most finance and accounting functions.
BPO is no longer exclusively reserved for large companies; it is now accessible to SMEs and even very small businesses, particularly accounting firms that see accounting outsourcing as a real lever for operational excellence and growth.
Many French accounting firms have established outsourcing partnerships with BPO operators in French-speaking countries close to France, such as Tunisia. Accounting outsourcing allows firms to focus on high value-added services, such as advising executives, and to address recruitment challenges in France due to the shortage of qualified resources.
Why do digital transformation of the firm and accounting outsourcing go hand in hand?
Most accounting firms in France have, for several years, embarked on digital transformation projects, which have introduced new tools: accounting software accessible via the Internet, pre-accounting tools (paper has almost disappeared from firms), storage spaces, OCR technology, banking connectors, and not to mention the upcoming introduction of electronic invoicing in the coming years.
The Covid crisis has instilled long-term practices of remote work (partial or full) and nomadic work.
New digital tools and remote work naturally facilitate the implementation of accounting outsourcing. The entry barrier has never been so low (and simple).
Accounting outsourcing and digital transformation can even create a virtuous circle where one helps improve the other.
Why is Tunisia a good destination for accounting outsourcing?
Accounting outsourcing in Tunisia is on the rise. Several reasons make Tunisia a preferred country for accounting outsourcing.
Its geographical proximity (less than 2 hours flight from most French cities), and only a one-hour time difference in winter, facilitate collaborative work between people in both countries. In the BPO sector, Tunisia is considered a nearshore destination.
Its cultural proximity to France: Tunisia is a French-speaking country where French is taught from primary school and is commonly spoken by the vast majority of the population.
Between the two countries, there have been technical cooperation and exchanges for many years. Many French people spend their vacations in Tunisia, and Tunisians watch French channels daily.
The quality of Tunisian university education, which has proven itself, particularly in technical fields such as medicine, technology, and accounting/finance.
Technical proximity is a major advantage, as Tunisian accounting and tax laws are very similar to those in France. A holder of an accounting degree in Tunisia is perfectly comfortable with French accounting topics.
