Scottish Finance Leaders Network
Scottish Finance Leaders Network
In 2024, FWB and EY, re-established the Finance Directors Network after as brief hiatus following the pandemic. Along with CFOs and Co-Chairs Nicola McIntosh and Graeme Menzies we rebranded as the Scottish Finance Leaders Network (SFLN) which now comprises over 400 of Scotland’s most experienced CFOs and senior finance leaders from a range of industries.
This is a network ran by senior finance leaders for the senior finance community of Scotland, and sponsored by EY and FWB to provide an events programme, thought leadership, career development and continuous personal development opportunities.
There is no cost to join the network and we look forward to welcoming you to one of our next events.
We’re all aware of how lonely and isolated the CFO/FD role can become, so the ability to learn from and collaborate with peers will provide a really helpful network as we navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
