Delano Sherley & Associates, Inc. specializes in business consulting and financial management for not-for-profits, including churches, and closely held businesses.

Many small companies do not need a full-time CFO/Controller. We act as your CFO (chief financial officer), controller, or business advisor on an as needed business, saving you the expense of hiring a full-time staff person. We approach our role in a hands-on manner, working with you and your management team on a project or on-going basis. With our practical experience in both public accounting and across many industries, we understand what your needs are and we can help you better run your company.

We are experienced in financial reporting, profit analysis, expense reduction, cash flow management, bank and other financing, turnarounds and debt restructuring. This allows you to focus more on your strengths and allows you to work on growing your company, while we take care of the accounting function.

For churches, we provide the same level of service, tailored to their needs. Proper record keeping, reporting and internal controls are a necessity for churches, and we help set up the proper systems to accomplish these goals. We can also help structure ministers pay to take advantage of the tax breaks available to them. Both Delano and Nathan have served on church boards and as church financial secretaries. We are experienced not only in church accounting, but also in the unique aspect of ministry as it relates to church management.
