In this episode of The Fractional CFO Files, Hannah Munro is joined by Adrian Message from The CFO Centre to explore what truly defines a successful fractional CFO. Drawing on years of experience supporting businesses through growth, change and uncertainty, Adrian shares why trust, adaptability and strong relationships often matter more than technical expertise alone.


In this episode, you'll learn:


  • How fractional CFOs adapt their approach to meet the unique needs of each business and build trusted relationships with founders and leadership teams.
  • Why emotional intelligence, honesty and difficult conversations are often just as important as financial expertise.
  • How CFOs can enable growth by moving beyond transactions and controls to focus on strategy, education and business improvement.
  • Practical lessons from Adrian's career, including scaling businesses, navigating financial challenges and helping finance leaders create greater impact.
