Bridging The Gap: Generations, Education and Development

Transactional Finance Connect & Finance Connect Presents: Bridging The Gap: Generations, Education and Development.

Event Details

Date: Wednesday 25th February 2026

Location: Zoom

Macildowie’s next Transactional and Finance Connect Forum brings together senior finance professionals for an open, discussion-led session focused on one of the biggest challenges facing leaders today:

• managing and developing people across different generations and experience levels.
• This will be an open table discussion, not a presentation.
• We’ll explore issues many managers and teams are navigating every day, including:
• Leading across different generations and experience levels
• Supporting junior development without overloading more experienced team members
• Newer managers leading colleagues with longer tenure
• Navigating different communication styles and expectations
• The reality versus the promise of different education routes (AAT, degrees, apprenticeships, ACCA,
• CIMA, ACA)

Alongside this, we’ll share practical insight into how organisations can better bridge capability gaps, strengthen leadership confidence and build future-ready finance teams.

Rather than presentations, the session is built around honest conversation, shared experience and practical takeaways that attendees can apply immediately within their teams.
