Our Story

Delegate CFO was founded with a clear mission: to bring strategic financial leadership to growing businesses, without the overhead of a full-time CFO. After decades in public accounting and executive financial roles, our founder, Steven D. Hovland, CPA, saw too many small and mid-sized businesses making high-stakes decisions with incomplete data, outdated systems, and no financial sounding board.

We believe that financial clarity shouldn’t be reserved for Fortune 500 companies. That’s why we built Delegate CFO: to give founders access to expert financial strategy, hands-on support, and a true partner who cares about their business as much as they do.

Today, we serve clients across industries with a proactive, personal approach to virtual CFO services. We don’t just crunch numbers, we help you use them to grow.
