This collection gathers the editor’s notes from Andy Burt, the former managing director of CFO.com, who passed away at the end of 2025.
Written with clarity and restraint, his notes focused on defining his perspective on the life that surrounds finance and accounting. He shared how he thought about his work, the CFO role and the people behind it. Often concise and occasionally unfinished, Andy’s weekly messages to readers reflected his steady approach to leadership and editorial judgment.
Read together, they offer a thoughtful record of how he viewed responsibility, decision making and the importance of doing work with intention. These writings provide a glimpse into Andy’s intellect, and are just as full of life as he was.
