Decoding the Gaishikei Finance Function

Survey findings on AI adoption, succession planning, business partnering, and operational pain points - with a panel of Tokyo finance leaders

Meaningful benchmarking of the finance function in foreign companies in Japan has long been a challenge, with most available research focused solely on the Nikkei market.

To help bridge this information gap, FocusCore Group conducted a dedicated survey and built a valuable dataset specifically designed to reflect the unique operational realities of finance teams in foreign companies operating in Japan.

Join us for an exclusive presentation of the survey findings, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A featuring finance leaders based in Tokyo.

Key topics include:

• Future-proofing the finance function
• AI in Finance
• Succession planning and talent management
• Finance business partnering
• Current operational pain points in the finance function

• Average tenure

This session will provide practical insights, benchmarking data, and an opportunity to discuss the evolving role of finance leadership in Japan.
