Major Reasons Why European ACCAs and Accounting Firms are Outsourcing to India
Companies in Western Europe are always looking to cut costs by outsourcing overseas. One of their top priorities is to generate maximum revenue by employing the latest technologies by getting a 24-hour (virtual) office with skilled employees that cost only 1/3rd of any in-house team.
Traditionally many believed that European firms typically prefer to send their jobs to nearby locations for curbing the problem of not getting similar time zones. However, many reports have revealed that more than 65% of European firms intend to send their work to India.
