There are FTO's in Finland. But Finland is NOT cheaper. It is the 4th most expensive country in the world and most expensive Euro-zone country. As for training. Some schools have a program with UK schools for theoretical distance learning, again this is more expensive than buying the product directly from UK. The upside is that language used for training is Queens English. If you have a chance to do training in UK, I suggest you search that possibility first and then consider Finland. If money is no object then by all means Finland is your place. Be prepared to dish out around 110 thousand euros for basic training (CPL) not including your living costs depending on taste and style from 1000 a month to up to unlimited in the capital area. People live with considerably less money but how they live is another matter.
The Finnish Aviation Academy selections are similar to airlines and the cost of the training is very reasonable for the student. There are very limited positions each year and Finnish language is an entry requirement, and cannot be waived for what are considered local students.
