What is a Fractional CFO?

A fractional CFO or virtual CFO (chief financial officer) is a remote-based CFO—a real person—who provides high-level services to give your company. No matter the size of your business, we provide the expertise, direction, and concentration of an in-house CFO. We just do it remotely as a consulting service. An online CFO should be seen as an investment. Hiring someone with the experience of a big-business C-level executive without the cost of hiring a full-time employee is where we come in. We are more than just an accountant or a controller. This is high-level strategy—the type of work expected from an experienced financial executive. We provide analysis for helping your team with cash flow modeling and break-even analysis. Because of the strategic nature of the service, we schedule up to six virtual meetings per month. These meetings deal with cash flow, financial review, pipeline and practice development, banking relationships, and long-term goals. Your goals are our goals: We want to maximize shareholder value, accelerate growth, and achieve profit goals.

Benefits of Fractional CFO Services and Virtual CFO Services

Fractional CFO services provide companies with insight into their future. Unlike traditional accounting—which is a representation of the money that has already come into a business or has been spent by a company—fractional accounting goes further. It addresses how companies project and plan the business’s future to enable growth and to reach its full potential.

Over Twenty Years of Accounting Experience

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.
