AbacusNext continues to climb the Inc. 5000 with this year’s elite triplicate performance ranking No. 795 overall and special recognition as the #20 Top San Diego Company.
San Diego, CA, August 22, 2017 – AbacusNext®, the largest Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) provider for the legal and accounting professions, today announced that for the third consecutive year, it has placed on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. AbacusNext earned the #795 spot overall and received the honors of #20 on the ranking of Top San Diego companies.
“Earning a spot on the Inc. 5000 for the third year in a row is truly a testament to the commitment, tenacity and passion AbacusNext has toward fulfilling our mission of improving the lives of professionals and enabling them with technology,” said Alessandra Lezama, AbacusNext CEO. “Our growth is a result of innovating across new verticals and bringing technology solutions – all ‘as-a-service’ – to market, allowing businesses of any size to scale and compete in today’s sophisticated digital world.”
Most recently, AbacusNext accelerated their market strategy by entering the accounting space with the acquisitions of industry-leading solution providers Cloudnine Realtime, Results Software, and OfficeTools. These acquisitions marked a milestone in the transformation of Abacus into a turnkey services provider for any industry that delivers on clients’ complete range of technology needs.
“We remain dedicated to being a technology partner who stays on the leading edge of innovation and best practices so our clients can focus on their business and achieving ultimate success,” concluded Lezama. “All of us at AbacusNext are humbled to once again rank amongst the elite group of companies on the Inc. 5000. It is an honor our entire team cherishes.”
The 2017 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small and midsized businesses. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481% and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years.
"The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “The founders and CEOs of the Inc. 5000 tell us they think determination, risk taking, and vision were the keys to their success, and I believe them.”
