Boston and Cambridge are global epicenters for innovation, home to a thriving startup community across tech, biotech, SaaS, robotics, health, and education. According to Startup Boston and Boston Globe, the region is home to over 4,000 startups and is consistently ranked among the world’s leading innovation hubs.
At Delegate CFO, we understand the competitive and complex landscape for Boston founders, from seed and beyond. Our founder’s forensic accounting background means every engagement includes a proactive review of internal controls, a standard not offered by most virtual CFO firms.

Who You're Working With
Steve Hovland, Certified Forensic Accountant
Former CPA firm partner with 20+ years of financial leadership experience. Every Delegate CFO engagement is led directly by Steve, bringing forensic-level financial oversight to your Boston startup from day one, the same scrutiny that biotech, medtech, and institutional investors apply during due diligence, built into your engagement as standard.
Delegate CFO has supported startups and high-growth businesses across, tech, consumer brands, and more. Whether you’re bootstrapped, venture-backed, or just exploring next steps. We’re ready to support your journey.
We offer three different service levels, each with additional a-la-carte services that can be added on, so you only pay for exactly what you want and need.
Your dedicated Virtual CFO partners with you year-round on the decisions that actually move your business forward. You get cash flow forecasting, a rolling 12-month forecast, company-wide KPIs, performance tracking by project and team member, bank relationship management, and up to 6 virtual meetings per month. If you’re making major decisions about growth, hiring, or financing and need a senior financial partner in your corner, this is the right fit.
Your Virtual Controller focuses on the accuracy and reliability of your financial reporting. You get a clean month-end close, GAAP-compliant financial statements, company-wide KPIs, 12-month forecasting, and up to 2 scheduled meetings per month. The right fit if you need stronger financial infrastructure and forward-looking reporting without full CFO-level strategy.
Your Virtual Accounting Manager picks up where your bookkeeper leaves off. We review your books at month-end, adjust to accrual accounting, and produce financial statements you can hand to your banker or shareholders. The right fit if you need a senior review layer over your existing bookkeeping without the cost of a Controller or CFO engagement.
Delegate CFO promises we will never hide our pricing or charge you ‘hourly billing’ rates. Our fees are fixed and based on your company’s specific needs. Our pricing is fixed for 12 months and you are never billed for miscellaneous items.
During our free consultation, we’ll discuss the services your company needs and your personal and professional goals. As an added benefit, all of our meetings are held virtually.
