CFO 4.0 - The Future of Finance

Hannah Munro brings a specific lens to this show that most CFO podcasts lack. As Managing Director of itas, a financial transformation consultancy, she is laser-focused on the intersection of technology and finance leadership. The premise of CFO 4.0 is that the finance chief's role has fundamentally changed from cost controller to strategic influencer, and each of the 262 episodes explores what that shift actually looks like in practice. New episodes land weekly, running 35 to 45 minutes on average, though some stretch closer to an hour. The format is interview-based, with Munro bringing on CFOs and finance leaders to talk about transformation projects, behavioral economics in pricing, ERP implementations, and the soft skills that finance teams desperately need but rarely train for. Munro is a thoughtful interviewer who clearly does her homework. She presses guests on specifics rather than letting them coast on generalities. An episode on project readiness, for example, went beyond the usual platitudes to discuss what readiness actually looks like when you are trying to roll out a new system across a resistant organization. The show has a perfect 5.0 rating on Apple Podcasts, admittedly from only 2 reviews. It sits at the intersection of technology, leadership, and operational finance in a way that feels genuinely useful rather than buzzword-heavy. If you are a CFO or finance director wrestling with how to modernize your function without losing control of the basics, this is a strong pick.
