NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Inc. magazine today ranked Makosi Consulting 1401 on its 33rd annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America's independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino's Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.
"Over the years Makosi has consistently grown and proven itself to be a company with a solid foundation. We’re relatively 'OK' with #1401, but what’s more important is our sustained growth over the past eight years, rather than just the most recent three. A consistent, stable, sustainable business is what we’re after,” said Darren Isaacs, CEO, Makosi Consulting. “We aim to smash #1401 next year, and every year. Our biggest wish is to have fun every day, while creating value for our clients and opportunities for our people.”
The 2014 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 20 to November 30), is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 516%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $211 billion, generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years.
