Accounting & BookkeepingAccounting & Financial Management4HighController$ implied
European controllers are forced into AP/AR/project management/repetitive support roles instead of strategic work due to poor-quality outsourced accounting from India.
Companies outsource accounting to low-cost firms overseas, resulting in high turnover, language barriers, basic errors (debit/credit swaps), and lack of domain knowledge (e.g., complex EU VAT rules). Existing outsourced services fail to deliver quality and require constant oversight from local controllers.
