PEFC was already familiar with the high quality of accounting services provided by Filipino CPAs from an earlier stage of my career. So when I took on the challenge of overhauling and digitalising the entire finance and management system, I was determined to integrate this strength into a new, more efficient operating model.

By combining our efforts with our partner Swisscom and our accountants at Beyond Numbers SA, we successfully transformed the organisation’s financial and management systems, as highlighted in this Swisscom case study:

A key element of this transformation was the outsourcing of finance functions to the Philippines, enhancing quality, stability, and cost efficiency in our back office. Today, our headquarters team relies every day on the competent, high-quality support of our Asian CPAs, who have become a trusted and integral part of our operations.

Transformations of this kind are never final; together with our Filipino colleagues, we continuously evolve, embracing new technologies to keep our systems at the highest technical standards.
