The Hidden Growth Lever in Real Estate: Strategic F&A Outsourcing
Watch this exclusive 45-minute fireside chat where real estate finance leaders and F&A experts explore how real estate businesses are adapting their finance structures to meet today’s demands.

This on-demand session brings together senior voices from Generation Partners, Now Student Living, QX Global Group, and Everest Group to unpack how real estate finance is changing — and how agile, hybrid models are helping CFOs move faster and smarter.
Whether you’re exploring offshore support, facing recruitment hurdles, or simply rethinking how finance adds value — this session offers practical insight grounded in real-world experience.
