Rockville, MD, August 25, 2008 -- Aronson & Company (A&C), a nationally-ranked top 50 accounting and consulting firm, was recently named to Inc. magazine’s “Inc. 5,000” list of fastest growing private companies in the country, for the second year in a row.
Commented Lisa J. Cines, CPA, Managing Officer, Aronson & Company, “We are thrilled to be recognized again for our steady growth. In an economy that has created great challenges for many companies throughout the country, our investment in the future has put us in a great position to continue to grow strategically.”
The 2008 Inc. 5,000 list measures revenue growth from 2004 through 2007. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based and privately held, independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies - as of December 31, 2007, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2004, and $2 million in 2007. The 2008 Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 147 percent.
“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”
