The Delaware numbers a CFO has to know
Forecasts are only as good as the tax and fee assumptions inside them. In Delaware that means personal income tax from 2.2% to 6.6%, a 8.7% corporate income tax, no state sales tax and a franchise tax (flat) of $300, due June 1. We build those into the model so the cash forecast survives contact with April.
| Delaware at a glance | What applies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Personal income tax | Personal income tax from 2.2% to 6.6% | Graduated brackets (2025 table) |
| Corporate income tax | A 8.7% corporate income tax | Flat corporate rate (2026 table) |
| Sales tax | No state sales tax | No state sales tax |
| LLC fees | Formation $110; A franchise tax (flat) of $300, due June 1 | No annual report for LLCs; $300 annual tax due June 1, $200 penalty plus interest if late (revenue.delaware.gov) |
| Corporation fees | Formation $89; Annual report + franchise tax 50 + franchise tax, due March 1 | Franchise tax minimum $175 (authorised shares) or $400 (assumed par value); recalculate with the assumed par method to avoid large bills |
| S-corp election | Federal election recognised | Federal S election recognised; no separate state election; PTE election not required |

What Delaware changes in the model
Delaware is where investors expect a C-corp to live, and its Court of Chancery is the reason. For a small LLC the trade-off is the flat $300 franchise tax every June, plus a registered agent, whether or not the business earns anything. Corporations also file an annual report by March 1 and pay franchise tax that can be recalculated under the assumed par value method to avoid a shock bill.
Entity-level charges are the ones founders forget in a forecast: a franchise tax (flat) of $300, due June 1, a 8.7% corporate income tax and, for sellers, no state sales tax. We also model the owner's own tax position, because a distribution that looks affordable in the business is often not affordable once Delaware and federal tax on it are counted.

Delaware questions people ask first
What is the difference between bookkeeping and a virtual CFO?
Bookkeeping records what happened and closes the month. A virtual CFO uses those numbers to forecast, price, plan tax and advise on decisions. Most clients start with clean books, then add the CFO layer.
Do you replace my accountant?
We can be the whole finance function (books, tax, CFO) or work alongside an existing Delaware CPA. Many CPA firms bring us in as the advisory partner for their clients.
How is Delaware tax built into the forecast?
We model personal income tax from 2.2% to 6.6%, a 8.7% corporate income tax and entity fees such as a franchise tax (flat) of $300, due June 1, alongside federal tax and estimated payments, so the cash forecast reflects what will actually leave the bank.
Can you prepare numbers for investors or a lender?
Yes. GAAP-consistent statements, a data room checklist and the reconciliations a diligence team will ask for, prepared before they ask.
What does it cost?
Fixed monthly fee, quoted after the free call. Add-on CFO services start at $99 a month on a bookkeeping plan.
Who is on the team?
Certified Accountants, CPAs and Enrolled Agents working from New York and Mumbai, with one point of contact and replies within 8 hours.
