Recognition Reflects Zone’s Continued Growth as It Builds the Intelligent Finance Orchestration Platform for the AI Era

NEW YORK, August 11, 2026 Zone & Co, a leading ERP-native, AI-powered financial operations platform, today announced it has been ranked on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 for a second consecutive year is meaningful because our growth reflects a much bigger shift happening in finance,” said Thomas Kim, CEO of Zone & Co. “Finance teams have plenty of data and insight. What they need now is the ability to turn that intelligence into action, with AI that can help coordinate execution while preserving the control finance requires. We believe the next era of finance will be defined by that shift from insight to intelligent action, and Zone is building the platform that sits on top of the ERP to lead it.”

This year’s Inc. 5000 list 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 5,000 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.”
