FLP, the Finance Leadership Podcast

Produced by AICPA and CIMA, the Finance Leadership Podcast is hosted by Kevin Gormley and targets finance professionals on the CGMA qualification pathway. With 213 episodes and monthly updates, the show covers a broad range of topics from exam preparation to navigating the UK accountancy job market. Episodes run between 12 and 40 minutes, and Gormley brings on guest experts to discuss both technical and soft-skill topics. The tone leans educational, which makes sense given the show's ties to a professional certification body. Recent episodes have covered exam resit strategies, case study analysis for the OCS qualification, and modern learning techniques for busy finance professionals. This show occupies a specific niche: it is less about the day-to-day reality of being a CFO and more about the professional development journey that gets you there. Episodes featuring students sharing their experiences of using the Finance Leadership Programme add a personal touch that purely technical shows often lack. The show has no ratings on Apple Podcasts yet, which likely reflects its specialized audience rather than its quality. If you are pursuing a CGMA qualification or building a career in UK-based finance leadership, this podcast provides targeted support you will not find elsewhere. For those already in senior finance roles, it is less directly relevant, but the episodes on leadership development and organizational change still offer useful perspectives from the AICPA/CIMA knowledge base.
