Susan Irvine

As a chartered accountant, Susan started her career at KPMG and then went on to work in industry and the third sector. Having gained experience, working alongside government agencies, she brings to Inspiring Scotland a detailed understanding of the importance of working together with private, public, and voluntary sectors to generate the greatest impact for the charities that we support.

Susan is enthusiastic about supporting individuals and communities to overcome the challenges that they face, helping to provide them with the opportunities that they deserve. Using her financial background, she has served as a Treasurer for a number of charities helping them to establish strong financial frameworks.

Outside of work, Susan enjoys spending time with family and friends and you are most likely to find her standing at the edge of football pitch watching her two sons play in all weather.
