Redefining Finance Value: Key Insights from SSOW Europe 2026

The Strategic Shifts Every CFO and Finance Leader Should Be Watching


This webinar will take place on:
27 May, 2026
10:00 AM - 10:45 AM BST


SSOW Europe 2026 is set to challenge how GBS defines value in an AI-driven world. But, for finance leaders, the stakes are especially high. Finance shared services are no longer measured solely on cost efficiency, but on their ability to deliver agility, control, and insight in real time.

This exclusive webinar acts as a strategic review of the conference, highlighting the most critical insights for CFOs, GPOs, and finance transformation leaders shaping the future of finance shared services.

We will explore:

  • Cost Efficiency to Enterprise Value: How finance GBS are shifting from SLA-driven service delivery to measurable impact.
  • AI-Powered Finance: Agentic AI is transforming close, O2C, P2P, and FP&A into faster, decision-ready operations.
  • R2R as Control Tower: R2R is shifting from book-closing to real-time control, cleaner journals, and stronger balance sheet governance.
  • The Expanding Role of the Finance GPO: How GPOs are driving E2E transformation while balancing global standardisation.

As business leaders challenge shared services ​to deliver more than cost savings, finance teams are being asked to prove their impact on margin, growth, and strategic decision-making. As SSOW defines the direction of GBS, this webinar clarifies what it means for finance in 2026 and beyond.
