Fractional CFO πŸ“ˆ | Helping founders scale from <​$5M to $15M+ ARR

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

About

Ikiplan is a specialized Fractional CFO firm helping founders scale from <$5M to $15M+ ARR. What gets you from zero to your first few million in ARR isn’t the same as what it takes to scale from under $5M to $15M+, or later, from $15M to $50M. Each stage demands distinct financial strategies, systems, and mindsets. We specialize precisely in that critical phase from under $5M to $15M+ ARR, drawing on experience from helping 30+ companies successfully navigate this growth, achieving over $250M in combined ARR and valuations exceeding $1.25B. We work with a small number of ambitious, high-potential founders, with whom we can build long-term partnerships and serve as a true strategic asset on the path to $15M+ and beyond.
