The chief financial officer owns the organisation’s finances, and with them the cost line that usually ranks second only to payroll: property. Rent, rates, fit-out, facilities and the question nobody enjoyed before data existed: are we paying for space nobody uses?
The CFO’s workplace questions are quantitative: cost per desk, occupancy cost against utilisation, and what the lease event two years out should look like. Workplace platforms earn their seat in the CFO’s stack by converting booking data into exactly those numbers, board-ready.
