We are delighted to invite you to the next meeting of Finance Directors' professional network.
The increases in National Insurance Contributions and the National Minimum Wage, fee uplifts and VAT are just some of the many financial challenges facing members at this time. In recognition of the pressures that Finance Directors are under, at this meeting we will be providing a safe space for members to share their biggest challenges with their peers, to discuss their impact, share different approaches and experiences and perhaps open up pathways to solutions.
In addition, Stuart McKay, Partner at MHA will be providing an update on financial matters affecting members, in particular, cost pressures.
This is sure to be a very valuable meeting, so don't delay in securing your place.
