# Brown Edwards Named Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Company

 Published by [ Brown Edwards ](https://blog.becpas.com/author/brown-edwards) on  Sep 27, 2021 8:00:00 AM

# This year, 310 Virginia companies have been ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing privately-held companies. Brown Edwards is honored to be included on this list for the first time in its 55 year history.

Inc. Magazine has been producing a list every year since 1982 and, in 2007, expanded the Inc. 500 to the Inc. 5000. The list recognizes the fast-growing privately-held businesses in the United States and ranks companies by their overall revenue growth over a three-year period.

> "This prestigious national recognition is a testament to the hard work and collaboration of our team members and our clients. We are excited and honored to be recognized by Inc. for inclusion on the list.”
> 
> Jason Hartman, CEO

Being ranked as a top 5000 company in the US is a challenge in any given year, but after the challenges we all were forced to overcome in 2020…that is an accomplishment worth celebrating.

The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

This recognition joins a growing list of Brown Edwards accolades in the past year:

> "We are investing in technology, people and key market expansion to ensure that Brown Edwards stays a leader well into the future."
> 
> Laura Sprouse, COO

Our firm has experienced over 50% growth during the 3 years that INC considered, coming from both organic client service expansion and strategic acquisitions in key markets.
