NEW YORK & MUMBAI, India–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Accounting–WNS (Holdings) Limited (NYSE: WNS), a leading provider of global Business Process Management (BPM) solutions, today announced it has partnered with McCain Foods, a global leader in planet-friendly food, to transform and manage its Finance & Accounting (F&A) function.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, McCain Foods made the strategic business decision to transition their F&A processes from their incumbent service provider to a new BPM partner.

Apart from their extensive experience, WNS brings a strong collaborative approach that has made them a valuable partner. They were able to adapt and manage an effective remote transition including a complex tri-partite governance and ensured appropriate work from home security protocols. We witnessed effective knowledge transfer without any operational needs being missed over our year end timelines. We are very happy to continue on this journey with WNS as a partner,” said Pierre Danet, CFO, McCain Foods.
