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.

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.
