Is your business financially exposed?

Most small business owners don't know they have internal control gaps until it's too late — an employee error, a fraud incident, or a failed audit catches them off guard. This free assessment evaluates your cash, payroll, accounts receivable, inventory, and oversight processes, and tells you exactly where you stand.

We understand small business. Below is an example of some of the services we offer with the fractional and virtual CFO package.

Month End Close

Know your exact financial position every month, so every management decision is based on accurate numbers, not guesswork. We verify every major account has the supporting documentation behind it.

Core Financial Statements

Get bank-ready financial statements every month, the kind you can hand to your banker, investors, or board without hesitation, fully GAAP-compliant.

Scheduled Meetings

Stay in the loop with regular face-to-face virtual meetings, so you always understand what your numbers mean, not just what they are.

Company-Wide KPI

Know exactly how your business is performing at any given moment, with the metrics that actually matter to your bottom line, not a generic dashboard.

Break-even Analysis

Know precisely how many sales you need to cover your costs every month, so you and your sales team are never caught off guard when cash gets tight.

Free Cash Flow

See not just how much cash you have today, but what you're projected to have, so you can make hiring and spending decisions with confidence.

Financial Levers

Understand exactly which decisions move your profit needle, with 'what-if' scenarios that show the financial impact before you commit.

Forecasting

Stop reacting to financial surprises. A rolling 12-month forecast keeps you ahead of cash flow dips so you can plan hires, investments, and growth with confidence.

Pipeline Report

See your revenue 60–90 days out so your sales team and your cash flow are always aligned, and you have time to pivot if needed.

Performance by Project

Know exactly which projects are actually making you money, so you can shift time and resources toward the work that truly grows your business.

Team Member Performance

See exactly who's driving revenue on your team, so hiring, promotion, and staffing decisions are based on real impact, not guesswork.

Customized Department Reports

Track the metrics that actually predict your revenue, even the ones that never show up on a balance sheet, like customer satisfaction or service quality

Debt Planning and Reduction

Whether you're financing growth or paying down debt, know the real cost and risk of every option before you commit, not after.

Bank Relationships

Get better rates and terms on your financing. We manage your banking relationships and shop competing offers, so you don't have to negotiate alone.

Resource Planning

Stop paying for underused equipment or sitting on bottlenecks. We help you get the best possible return out of every resource your business already owns.

Over Twenty Years of Accounting Experience

Fractional CFO Services

Delegate CFO was founded by Steven D. Hovland (#TheForensicCFO), Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and Certified Forensic Accountant (CRFAC).

After 20 years in the public accounting arena as a partner in a mid-size public accounting firm, Steve began brainstorming a client-centered model for fractional CFO services that favors you, the client.

Steve realized the old model of doing things in the accounting world no longer worked to the client’s advantage. The archaic systems didn’t evolve with technology or the digital age. Billing clients hourly to tell them what they already knew and then charging for any inefficiencies that were found resulted in the dreaded “additional billings.” He believes that the price quoted upfront should be the price of the service. Period.
