NEW YORK, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FloQast today announced it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. This recognition reflects FloQast's leadership in transforming accounting through AI-powered innovation, as organizations increasingly adopt intelligent automation to streamline financial operations, fueling the company's rapid growth and placing it among the nation's most successful entrepreneurial businesses.
“Making the Inc. 5000 four years running is a direct reflection of the trust finance and accounting leaders place in FloQast,” said Mike Whitmire, CPA (inactive), FCA, co-founder and CEO of FloQast. “Modern accounting departments face unprecedented complexity, and our mission is to give them genuine leverage. By integrating AI where it matters most, we're helping teams transition from reactive reporting to proactive leadership. I couldn't be prouder of our team's execution.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
Building on this momentum, FloQast will host TakeControl 2026 on September 16–17, 2026 — its flagship annual conference for accounting and finance leaders. This year's event brings together 40 speakers and practitioners from companies including Meta, Chipotle, Equinox, Gong, and AG1 to explore how AI is reshaping the accounting function. Centered on the theme “Setting the New Standard for Accounting AI,” TakeControl 2026 will feature product announcements, practitioner-led sessions, and a closing mainstage conversation on AI governance and accountability featuring executives from Meta and a former PCAOB board member.
