CFO Breakfast: The True Cost of Your Geneva Office (10-Year TCO Revealed)

DateThu, Feb 12
Time07:30–09:00
LocationExecutive Boardroom, 11th Floor
Capacity6 spots left

Join peer CFOs for a data-driven analysis of Geneva office costs. We'll expose the hidden cost leaks most finance teams miss.

Your current office looks "fine" on the P&L. But what's it really costing you over 10 years?

This exclusive CFO breakfast brings together finance leaders to examine the true total cost of ownership—including the costs that never make it into the lease summary.

The Problem We're Solving

Most CFOs inherit office leases they didn't negotiate. They see:

  • Rent: CHF X/m²/year
  • Service charges: "approximately CHF Y"
  • What they don't see:

  • Energy cost escalation in older buildings
  • Hidden maintenance that compounds annually
  • ESG risk exposure for CSRD reporting
  • Service charge opacity that increases 3-5% yearly
  • What We'll Cover

    Part 1: The Hidden Cost Audit (30 min)

  • Where Geneva offices leak money (data from 50+ buildings)
  • The Minergie premium myth: What the numbers actually show
  • Service charge transparency: What you should be getting for CHF 63/m²
  • Part 2: Live TCO Calculation (20 min)

  • Walk through our 10-year cost model with real Geneva data
  • Input your own numbers (confidentially)
  • See the gap between "headline rent" and actual cost
  • Part 3: The ESG Liability Clock (15 min)

  • CSRD requirements and what they mean for your building
  • The difference between Minergie projections and actual data
  • How to protect yourself with contractual guarantees
  • Peer Discussion (25 min)

  • Confidential sharing (Chatham House Rule)
  • What other CFOs have done
  • Questions you should ask any landlord
  • You'll Leave With
