Stan Zabolotsky, Group CFO at The Flexi Group, shared insights on finance sector evolution during a recent interview. He predicts AI will fundamentally shift finance roles from creating reports to analyzing data, with analysts spending only 10-20% of their time on model building compared to the current 80%, leading to leaner organizations with fewer middle management layers.

This leads to his belief that communication skills are the most critical capability for finance leaders, as the role focuses on simplifying complex data for stakeholders rather than conducting sophisticated analysis.

Chris Edwards, CEO at The Flexi Group, shares that Common Ground will be expanding in the Philippines through a multi-phase partnership with local developer Megaworld Corporation.

He notes that they aim to more than double their footprint in the Greater Manila Area over the next few quarters.

The Flexi Group celebrated two significant achievements on March 1st: Common Ground‘s 8th anniversary and the opening of a new location for The Hive in Hong Kong.

Since launching in 2017, Common Ground has expanded across three countries, serving thousands of members from startups to Fortune 500 companies with occupancy reaching 95% within six months of opening their first location.

Simultaneously, The Hive is growing its Hong Kong presence with a new 30k square foot Causeway Bay location spread across six floors, marking their ninth space in the city and contributing to The Flexi Group’s network that now spans eight countries and eleven cities.

Samantha Wordsworth shares that The Flexi Group have partnered with landlord V Point to add a further 30,000 sqft of flex workspaces in Causeway Bay.
