Count Me In

Count Me In is the house podcast of the Institute of Management Accountants, and it sounds exactly like what it is: a professional body talking to its members, but in a surprisingly unstuffy way. Hosts Adam Larson and Mitch Roshong run short, focused episodes, usually under thirty minutes, with CFOs, controllers, FP&A leaders, and academics who actually work in management accounting rather than just theorize about it. The back catalog is close to 400 episodes now, which means if you want to hear someone from a Fortune 500 finance team explain how they restructured their close process, or a mid-career controller talk about pivoting from audit into industry, the material exists. Recent runs have covered AI in the close cycle, ESG reporting fatigue, the talent shortage in accounting, and how to build a business partnering function that the rest of the company actually wants to work with. The hosts know when to shut up and let a guest explain something, which is rarer than it should be in podcast interviewing. What this show is not: a markets podcast, a personal finance show, or a place to hear hot takes. It's for people who do the work, want to stay current on technical and professional issues, and would rather hear a practitioner than a consultant. If you're studying for the CMA or mid-career and trying to stay sharp without committing to another webinar, this is a legitimately useful weekly listen.
