CFO Intelligence Brief
Turn every lease into a growth lever for your business.
Your lease portfolio is a strategic asset waiting to be unlocked. This brief shows how structured lease data drives sharper decisions, stronger negotiations, and measurable cost savings.
Where Finance Teams Spend the Most Time
Fragmented Portfolio View
Leases across multiple locations, entities, and teams,with no single consolidated view of exposure or obligations.
Manual Month-End Close
IND-AS 116 recalculations and amortisation schedules take days each close cycle,time better spent on higher-value work.
Reactive Renewal Management
Without proactive alerts, renewal windows close before finance has a chance to build a negotiation position.
Finance Absent from Negotiations
Lease renegotiations often proceed without finance,even though finance holds all the cost and risk data that matters.
What IND-AS 116 Requires Each Period
Identify every qualifying lease,including those embedded in service contracts
Any contract conveying the right to control an identified asset may need to be recognised on the balance sheet.
High Effort
Calculate ROU asset and lease liability at commencement
Using the incremental borrowing rate,and remeasure on every modification or renewal option reassessment.
High Risk
Post correct journal entries every period
Depreciation of the ROU asset and interest on the lease liability,separate, accurate, and consistent each month.
Recurring
Prepare full statutory disclosures annually
Maturity analysis, variable lease payments, and sub-lease income,all required and regularly scrutinised at audit.

6 Metrics Every CFO Should See From Their Lease Portfolio
These aren't outputs of a new process,they're the same data your team already holds, organised so leadership can act on it.
01
Total Liability Exposure
Current vs. non-current obligations across all entities. The number your board needs to see first.
02
Renewal Concentration Risk
How many leases expire in the same window,and how that clusters or dilutes negotiating leverage.
03
Cash Flow Commitments
Quarter-by-quarter obligations mapped against your treasury and cash planning cycles.
04
Escalation Forecast
Projected rent escalation impact over coming years,visible before it reaches the P&L.
05
Underutilised Exposure
Locations where lease cost outpaces business activity,the basis for exit or renegotiation.
06
FX Lease Risk
Currency exposure in foreign-denominated leases and how rate movements affect reported numbers.
Turning Lease Data into Negotiation Leverage
Finance already holds the data that matters most in a lease renegotiation,cost history, escalation trends, exit rights. The opportunity is presenting it at the right moment.
Total Cost of Tenure
Base rent, escalations, fit-out, service charges, and exit costs,combined. Reframes every negotiation.
Market Rate Benchmarking
Structured comparison against market rates. Tells you if you're overpaying before you sit down.

Every exit option across your portfolio,visible and ready to use as leverage when needed.
