Inspiring Churches to New Understanding.
Fractional CFO and back-office support for churches, nonprofits, and small businesses. Relationship-driven. Practically delivered.
What ICNU Is
The financial support your organization needs without the full-time hire you cannot afford.
ICNU provides fractional CFO and back-office support on a subscription basis. For a flat monthly rate, organizations get access to someone who knows their numbers, stays responsive, and shows up like a colleague rather than a vendor.
The model is built around the reality of how churches, nonprofits, and small businesses actually operate: lean teams, tight budgets, and leaders who are already carrying more than they should be. The subscription tiers reflect that. The relationships we build reflect that even more.
ICNU is led by Delton de Armas, a financial professional with thirty years of experience across corporate, ministry, and nonprofit settings, and the author of five published books including The Backoffice Blueprint and Mo-Mentum Principles.

From the Founder
This work started in a church. It grew because the need was everywhere.
I started ICNU with the intention of serving churches. My father and my brother are both pastors. I went to seminary. I have sat in more elder meetings, budget conversations, and hard pastoral moments than most people outside of ministry ever see. Serving the church felt like the most natural thing I could do with thirty years of financial experience.
But the need kept showing up in other rooms. Nonprofit executive directors navigating grant compliance and board reporting with no financial support. Small business owners making decisions with their gut because the numbers were not helping. Leaders in every setting carrying more than they should be carrying alone.
So ICNU grew. Not away from the church, but alongside it. The conviction that leaders should not have to manage the back office alone does not stop at the church door. It applies to anyone running an organization in service of something larger than themselves.
I am also the Executive Director of Qavah Ministries, a 501(c)(3) my wife Pam and I co-founded to mobilize churches to care for families of the incarcerated. That work keeps me close to the nonprofit world in a way that is personal, not just professional. And it is part of why I built ICNU's nonprofit model around conversations with real executive directors about what they actually needed, not what I assumed.
If any of this resonates, the best next step is a conversation. Tell me about your organization and what you are carrying. We will figure out together whether ICNU is the right fit.

Who We Serve
Three audiences. One conviction.
The conviction is the same regardless of who is in the room: leaders should not have to carry the back office alone. The work looks different depending on the organization. The commitment does not.
Churches
You were called to shepherd, not to manage the back office.
Financial oversight, elder reporting, payroll compliance, and systems that hold up over time. Built for pastors and church administrators who need a knowledgeable partner in the background.
Learn more →Nonprofits
Stewarding donated resources requires more than a bookkeeper.
Grant-ready financials, board reporting, restricted fund tracking, and compliance support. Built for executive directors who understand that financial integrity is inseparable from organizational credibility.
Learn more →Small Businesses
You built something real. The numbers should help you lead it.
Clean books, cash flow clarity, and a financial perspective in the room when it matters. Built for owners who are moving fast and need someone keeping pace with them, not just keeping score.

The Framework Behind ICNU
The systems ICNU brings to every engagement are built on the Five-Pillar Framework in The Backoffice Blueprint, co-authored by Delton de Armas and Adam J. Moffitt. If you want to understand how we think about financial operations before your first conversation, that is the place to start.
