"I am currently in my second year of CIPFA studying DSDA and BPFM. I have recently started with CSN as the Regional Officer, which means I will be the main point of contact for regional student networks. If I’m not studying or at work, you’ll probably find me singing with one of my three choirs!"

I am the oldest of 9 and a father of 2 (a boy and a girl). My youngest (daughter) has achondroplasia which is the most common form of dwarfism."

"I'm studying towards BPFM and DSDA at the moment, so I'm around a third of the way through the PAQ. I decided to volunteer for the CSN after having really enjoyed some of the CIPFA regional events and wanting to connect even more students with one another. When I’m not studying for exams or at work, you’ll most likely find me training for a half marathon."
Morgan McIntosh – Past President
Job title: Finance Manager Children's & Family Services
Organisation: London Borough of Barnet
Region: South East
I joined CIPFA in 2020. A senior manager asked me to attend the CIPFA Student Network and I felt obliged to attend. It was OK but I felt we could achieve more, reach more students and have more events.
This led to me becoming the President of CIPFA SE where I delivered Excel and PowerBI courses, a boat trip, pub quiz and a trip to Africa. I'm hoping to help increase the offering to the National Student Network.
