AAT launches Balancing ambition and Balancing ambition for students – two brand-new podcasts

AAT has today (8th July) launched two new podcasts, Balancing ambition and Balancing ambition for students bringing practical insights, real experiences and expert advice from across the world of business and finance. Topics will include AI and the future of finance, employability and career development, the changing world of accountancy and finance and what ambition looks like today. 

The free to access podcasts are now available across all major platforms and feature a diverse line-up of industry experts and inspiring professionals from across business, finance and beyond alongside voices from the AAT community.  

Guests share practical advice, fresh perspectives and experiences. The first episode, ‘finding success without a straight line’, explores the rise of portfolio careers and how listeners can make the most of bespoke career paths. Later episodes will tackle topics including the need for human skills in an AI-enabled world and the importance of building trust in a complex and changeable world. 

Podcast host and Key Partner Account Manager at AAT, Zoe Smith said: “I’m excited for listeners to hear our first ever episodes. Our role as a professional body and charity is to ensure access to careers in finance are as open and as accessible as possible. That means supporting people at every stage of their careers to take their own path and build success on their terms. Careers – and ambition – are very personal and individual things, that’s why we’ve called the podcasts ‘Balancing ambition’. No two career journeys are the same, and I hope these podcasts really do help people on their journey – whatever that might look like.“ 

Balancing ambition and Balancing ambition for students is now live on all major podcast platforms.
