Accounting On It – Details, episodes & analysis

Think accountants just tell you what already happened? Wrong way round. They are the people decision-makers turn to when they want to understand what to do next. That puts accountants in Formula 1 paddocks, on film sets and inside fraud investigations. Accounting on It picks a world each episode and finds out how the money in it really works. Host Emily Willis, a Chartered Accountant and Senior Finance Manager at Wordsmith AI, gets one surprising money-fact worth repeating, three counterintuitive truths most people would be surprised to hear, and learns why the accountant is the one unlocking what no one else in the room can. Every episode closes on a quickfire round, with some of the questions sent in by listeners as voice notes. Sport. Film and television. Fraud. Fashion. Festivals. Tax, audit and forensics. Worlds you are curious about and the surprising truths you can take to the pub. If you're 16 to 24 and still working out what to do with your life, and accounting has never once made the shortlist, give us twenty minutes. New episodes every other Wednesday.  Accounting on It is powered by ICAS, the world's first professional body of Chartered Accountants
