The Balancing Act with Andrew Temte, PhD, CFA · 2026-07-30 · 32 min
With a wave of accountants heading for retirement and AI reshaping the profession, is accounting still a smart career bet? In this episode of the Balancing Act podcast, Andy speaks with Hugh Martin - founder of Procountancy and a CIMA Case Study specialist who prepares finance professionals in more than 45 countries to earn the CGMA designation. Together they get behind the acronyms to management accounting itself - the “business partner” role, why a U.S. CPA might add the CGMA, and the human skills no algorithm can replace. Tune in to episode 256 to hear why Hugh tells a nervous twenty-year-old that accounting is still worth it, how the CGMA builds the business acumen that earns a bigger seat at the table, and the two-euro rounding error he’d tell his younger self to stop losing sleep over.
