About Ikiplan

Ikiplan is a full-stack Fractional CFO firm for founders going from <$5M to $15M+ ARR. 📉 What gets you from zero to your first few million is not the same as what gets you to $15M. At this stage, the business has usually outgrown founder intuition, but is not yet ready for a full internal finance team. We specialize in this phase, drawing on experience helping 30+ companies navigate growth, with combined ARR of over $300M and valuations exceeding $1.5B. As ARR grows, the questions become harder: - What channels, products, and customers are driving growth and profitability? - Which hires can the business afford now and six months from now? - How much cash will we have over the next 18 months? - Am I under- or overinvesting in S&M or R&D? - Are inference costs eroding gross margins? - Are our sales incentives driving bookings? - What are the numbers really telling us? 💻 We build and run the finance stack needed to answer those questions: - Accurate accounting, tailored to your business, always on time - Financial operations run through automated systems and workflows - Tax and compliance handled diligently through a well-planned annual calendar - Clear visibility into performance, with a single source of truth for operational and financial data - Forward-looking planning with proven financial models grounded in historicals and rolling forecasts - Regular, structured strategic support to surface risks, preempt issues, and help balance challenging trade-offs We work with a small number of ambitious founders, building long-term partnerships on the path to $15M+ ARR.
