-- Outsourced CFO (OCFO), a globally recognised financial consulting and advisory firm, has been named a semi-finalist in the “Top Shared Service Centre” category at the CapeBPO Awards 2025. The recognition highlights OCFO’s role in building world-class finance functions for scaling businesses and its contribution to positioning South Africa as a competitive outsourcing destination.
The CapeBPO Awards, hosted by CapeBPO, the strategic partner to the City of Cape Town and the Western Cape Government, celebrate organisations and individuals driving innovation and measurable value in the sector. The 2025 gala, themed African Glam, will be held on 18 October at the Century City Conference Centre.
CapeBPO plays a vital role in the region’s BPO ecosystem by working with government and industry to develop training pipelines, attract investment, and position South Africa alongside global outsourcing leaders such as India and the Philippines. By hosting the Awards, CapeBPO not only recognises current achievements but also signals its long-term vision for Cape Town and the Western Cape as global hubs for high-quality service delivery.
For OCFO, the nomination recognises more than a decade of supporting entrepreneurs and growing companies. Since 2013, the firm has helped over 1,300 businesses in 34 countries manage the financial complexities of scaling, from cash flow management and board reporting to investor readiness and automation.
“Being recognised as a semi-finalist is a testament to the work of our incredible team and the trust our clients place in us,” said Louw Barnardt, Co-Founder and Managing Director at OCFO. “Our mission has always been to turn complex finance into clear, actionable decisions, whether that is ensuring clean month-end closes or preparing investor-ready reporting. To have that recognised in this forum is deeply rewarding.”
Semi-finalists will take part in judging sessions at CapeBPO’s Century City offices between 22 and 30 September. Industry leaders will evaluate service delivery, client impact, and sector contributions before the winners are revealed in October.
Barnardt stressed that recognition is meaningful because of the difference shared services make for clients.
“Shared services only matter if they move the needle,” he said. “Our promise to businesses is simple. Finance that is faster, clearer, and more useful to decision-making. It is about helping entrepreneurs see exactly where they stand and giving them the clarity to take their next big step with confidence.”
The Awards arrive at a time of strong momentum for the Western Cape’s BPO sector, which has created thousands of jobs and attracted global companies for services ranging from customer support to finance functions. For Barnardt, the ecosystem CapeBPO has built makes success possible.
“CapeBPO has done an exceptional job of creating an environment where companies like ours can thrive,” he noted. “They have built a platform that shows the world South Africa’s strong finance talent and expertise. It is a smart, strategic partner for business.”
Winners of the CapeBPO Awards will be announced at the gala on 18 October 2025.
