Accounting Seed Makes the List as No. 3814 – Up 210 Spots from 2020 Achieved 85% Growth in 3 Years
Columbia, Md., [August 17, 2021] – Inc. magazine today revealed that Accounting Seed is No. 3814 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. 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.
“We are thrilled to have made the Inc. 5000 list again in 2021, and more, to have increased our placement from last year,” said Tony Zorc, CEO, and Founder of Accounting Seed. “With over 15,000 users, Accounting Seed’s innovative approach to accounting technology on the Salesforce Platform© is breaking the mold of traditional accounting software. Making the Inc. 5000 list again confirms that we are creating waves, and we are truly honored.”
This news comes on shortly after Accounting Seed announced a significant growth investment from H.I.G. Growth Partners (“H.I.G.”) in May 2021. With H.I.G., Accounting Seed is expanding the company’s product development, support, marketing, and sales efforts, leaving them poised for continued growth and success in the small to mid-market sector.
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc., which will be available on newsstands on August 20.
“The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership, and the help of a whole lot of people.”

Methodology
Companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2017 to 2020. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2017. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2020. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2017 is $100,000; the minimum for 2020 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to three decimal places. There was one tie on this year’s Inc. 5000. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue. They represent the top tier of the Inc. 5000, which can be found at http://www.inc.com/inc5000.
