Introduction
Unprecedented insights reveal the seven key themes of the Latin American Finance Function With the continued economic growth and rise of multinational companies across Latin America (LATAM), it is time to take a closer look and get a deeper understanding of the performance and drivers of the finance function of LATAM companies. As their growth continues, finance functions must become increasingly more effective while maintaining efficiency to remain agile in today’s challenging international business and economic environment. LATAM finance executives should have a clear, empirical understanding of their finance function’s performance in order to implement lasting operational improvements and become a trusted business partner.
This briefing is the culmination of over twelve months of in-depth research and draws from our experience of working with LATAM companies, client interviews, quantitative data collection, and deep understanding of the finance issues. It brings to light seven key themes that resonate across the finance functions of companies throughout Latin America including the total cost of finance, staffing allocation, technology usage, “self-induced complexity,” country variation, economies of scale, and multinationals vs. locals. We uncovered opportunities for finance functions to increase efficiency and add value.
In conjunction with the Deloitte’s Global Benchmarking Center, we conducted an inaugural LATAM Finance Benchmarking Study, which served as an important source of data and insight for this point of view. Our benchmark study was comprised of 51 companies in Latin America and evaluated over 70 finance metrics relating to cost, efficiency, and effectiveness. Through this benchmark, Deloitte now maintains the largest database of the Latin America Finance function.

CFOs play four critical roles within companies — the “Four Faces of the CFO”
Background
Catalyze behaviors across the organization to execute strategic and financial objectives while at the same time creating a risk intelligent culture.
Provide financial leadership in determining strategic business direction, M&A, financing, capital market and longer term strategies vital to the future performance of the company.
Protect and preserve the critical assets of the organization and properly report on financial position and operations to internal and external stakeholders.
Balance capabilities, talent, costs and service levels to fulfill the finance organization’s core responsibilities efficiently.
•To function effectively across these four roles, Finance executives should have a clear, empirical understanding of their finance function’s performance and actionable improvement opportunities.
•The ability to measure, compare and contrast efficiency metrics is a key to achieving results.
4 Understanding performance and drivers of the finance function in Latin America Executive Briefing 5
Deloitte´s insights into the Latin America Finance function are based in part on our extensive Latin America benchmarking study completed in 2012•The study is comprised of 51 companies in Latin
America, and includes a variety of industries, countries and company sizes, thereby allowing a broad assessment of Latin America Finance
•The study evaluates over 70 finance metrics relating to cost, efficiency, and effectiveness
•Through this study, Deloitte maintains among the largest database of the Latin America Finance function, which allows unprecedented insight and the ability to tailor analysis to specific company peer groups
•At the aggregate level, the study compares overall Latin America operations against U.S. companies, thereby highlighting key regional differences
•At individual company level, the study identifies performance gaps against best in class performers, and further quantifies and qualifies improvement opportunities
On average, the benchmark study has identified $3.8 million of cost reduction opportunities per $1 billion in company revenue

The “Seven Key Findings” of the Latin America Finance Function
Seven key findings highlight the Latin America Finance function cost structure and performance
1. Total Cost of Finance — Across Latin America, there is wide variation in the total cost of finance; Latin America finance functions generally have higher staffing levels yet much lower labor costs, leading to lower overall total cost of finance compared to U.S. companies.
2. Staffing Allocation — Latin America allocates more staff to lower value transaction processing activities, and proportionately fewer staff to higher value performance management activities.
3. Technology Usage — Higher technology usage drives lower costs in Latin America due to decreased staffing levels.
4. “Self-induced Complexity” — Greater number of key controls and journal entries in Latin America leads to higher complexity and costs than U.S. companies.
5. Country Variation — Among countries in Latin America, there is notable variation in cost structure, staffing levels and labor rates.
6. Economies of Scale — As Latin American companies increase in size, economies of scale are recognized, as larger companies have lower finance costs as a percentage of revenue.
7. Multinationals vs. Locals — Multinational organizations operating in Latin America have higher finance costs than local companies headquartered within Latin America.
Finding 1: Across Latin America there is wide variation in the total cost of finance•The most significant cost Latin American benchmark
study participant spends over 12 times more on the finance function than the lowest
•The variation in total cost is driven primarily by the range of total staff (full-time equivalents, FTEs) and labor rates

Finding 1: Latin America participant companies maintain a lower overall finance cost structure than U.S. companiesThe benchmark demonstrates Latin America median finance cost as a percentage of revenue is 25% lower than the U.S. median
Key findings•The Latin America median company spends $3.8M less
(per $1B revenue) than the U.S. median•The majority of the total cost of finance is labor (66% to
80% across the three comparators)•Labor costs (as a percentage of revenue) are 22% lower
in the Latin America median company and 45% lower in the Latin America low cost performer (LCP) compared to the U.S. median
•The Latin America companies spend 2-3 times less on technology than the U.S. median, which has both upside (from a cost perspective) and downside (lower technology usage can result in lower efficiency and effectiveness)
Notes: Median represents the midpoint value of the Latin America participants. Low-cost performer (LCP) represents the first quartile or 25th percentile value of the participants. The U.S. median is the midpoint of a peer group consisting of 178 companies with less than $3 billion in revenue.

Finding 3: Participants higher technology usage drives lower costs in Latin America due to decreased staffing levels
Key findings•Participant companies could be split into High Tech
Leverage or Low Tech Leverage categories based on the amount of technology usage such automation of customer remittances, invoice transaction, journal entries, and key controls, as well as the amount of general ledger system integration and usage of automated planning tools.
•Participant Latin America companies that leverage technology to a high degree have 35% lower finance labor costs and spend 64% less on technology as a percentage of revenue
•Participant high tech leverage companies also have 51% fewer finance FTEs, which drives the overall lower costs

Finding 4: Greater number of key controls and journal entries in Latin America leads to higher complexity and costs than U.S. companies
Key findings•Latin America median processes 1.6 times more manual
journal entries and has 59% more general accounting FTEs than U.S. median
•As the number of key controls per $1B in revenue decreases from 500 to 100, Latin America controls process cost as a percent of revenue decreases from 0.19% to 0.14% ($556K per $1B in revenue)
•Metrics such as manual journal entries and key controls are typically internally driven activities which could be diminished to improve efficiency

Impact of revenue on total finance FTEs
Finding 6: As participant Latin American companies increase in size, economies of scale are recognized, as larger companies have lower finance costs as a percentage of revenue
Key findings•As revenue increases, both Latin America and U.S.
median see consistent cost decreases due to economies of scale
•As Latin America increases in revenue size from $1B to $5B in revenue, there is a 0.54% decrease in finance cost as a percent of revenue ($5.4M); U.S. median has a 0.53% decrease ($5.3M)
•Smaller Latin America companies (by revenue) have more finance FTEs per $1B in revenue than U.S. median (68 FTEs more at $1B in revenue)
•As revenue increases, Latin America companies see even greater benefits from economies of scale as finance FTE levels decrease to levels similar to U.S. median

Closing thoughts
•Latin America finance executives should have a clear, empirical understanding of their finance function’s performance in order to implement lasting operational improvements
•Numerous differences exist between Latin America and U.S. finance functions, in terms of cost structure, staffing levels and allocation, technology utilization, and complexity
•The value of technology and reduction of “self-induced complexity” are key requirements that can increase efficiency and adding value, as demonstrated in Latin America
•Although Latin America is often viewed as a homogenous region, country by country variation, and differences between locally operating and multinational organizations create interesting performance improvement opportunities and challenges
•Improvement initiatives should be balanced around global and regional differences and focused around finance best practices, and prioritized action plans and should be developed based on overall business strategies
