London, UK - 14th August 2007 - Alsbridge, the award winning outsourcing, shared services and offshoring advisory firm, today announce the launch of its European F&A BPO User Group, dedicated specifically to client-side practitioners of F&A outsourcing.

The User Group is designed to facilitate networking, best practise and thought leadership among European organisations that have or are in the process of outsourcing their F&A. Free membership will comprise regular meetings, research and benchmarking activity on topics such as governance, the retained organisation, pricing mechanisms and contract renegotiation.

Alsbridge have unparalleled experience in F&A BPO deals and so are uniquely placed to facilitate this User Group. A recent study shows that the company has advised on almost 25% of the deals in Europe which have gone offshore, largely to Central Europe and/or India.

We have set up this working group to enable these companies to meet regularly and encourage mutual support, networking and sharing.”

The initial meeting of the F&A BPO User Group will take place at the Sheraton Hotel, Heathrow, London on 2nd October 2007. Organisations interested in becoming a member of this group should contact Helen Ricardo on +44 (0)20 7242 0666 or email helen.ricardo@alsbridge.eu
