CFO Worx, an AI-native fractional CFO services firm headquartered in Tampa, Florida, has secured a top-500 position on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies.
The firm posted 776% three-year revenue growth, a figure that placed it firmly among the nation’s most recognized independent and entrepreneurial businesses.
The Inc. 5000 is widely regarded as the most prestigious ranking of privately held American companies, with past honorees including Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Meta (NASDAQ: META), Oracle (NYSE: ORCL), Chobani, and Patagonia.
Brian Alvarez, CEO of CFO Worx, credited the firm’s clients and internal team for the recognition, offering a direct reflection on what the achievement means.
“Earning a place on the list comes down to the trust our clients place in us and is a testament to the caliber of the team behind every engagement,” said Alvarez.
Among all 5,000 companies recognized this year, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, underscoring just how significantly CFO Worx outpaced the broader field.
The companies collectively appearing on the list have added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years, reflecting the wider economic impact of fast-growing private firms.
Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc., emphasized that the list recognizes more than just financial results from its honorees.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” said Hofman, adding that growth on this scale “reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact.”
CFO Worx offers tailored CFO, Controller, and strategic mergers and acquisitions preparation advisory services to U.S. private companies across a range of industries.
The firm supports transactions of up to $250 million in enterprise value, helping leadership teams make faster and more informed financial decisions.
Alvarez, who founded the firm, holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, is a West Point graduate and U.S. Army veteran, and was previously named 2022 CFO of the Year in Tampa.
Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 were ranked by percentage revenue growth between 2022 and 2025, with a minimum 2025 revenue threshold of $2 million required for eligibility.
