William Archibald Bowman (born 30 May 1950) is a Scottish Conservative Party politician who has served as a Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) for the North East Scotland region since December 2016.
Born in Glasgow and educated at the University of Edinburgh, Bowman received accreditation as a chartered accountant in 1976.
He subsequently joined accounting firm Peat Marwick, the predecessor of KPMG, working successively in their Edinburgh and Aberdeen offices until 2001.
Having secured promotion as Deputy Senior Partner, Bowman moved to Bucharest in 2002, where he engaged with KPMG's operations in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), with a particular focus on Romania and Moldova. Leaving KPMG, Bowman returned to the United Kingdom in 2013.
He was selected as the Conservative Party candidate for the Dundee East constituency at the 2015 general election, as well as the area's equivalent seat for the Scottish Parliament at the 2016 election, but finished third on both occasions.
After the death of Conservative colleague Alex Johnstone in December 2016, Bowman was selected to replace him as an MSP for North East Scotland, having been positioned next on the regional list.
Since his accession, he has become the Scottish Conservatives' Spokesperson for Taxation.
Bowman has become well known for both his financial interests as well as his membership of various parliamentary committees and groupings.
