Inc 5000 2024 (2)

Consulting Solutions Named to 2024 Inc. 5000 List

With a three-year revenue growth of 82 percent, Consulting Solutions earns placement on the distinguished list of America’s fastest-growing private companies

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — August 14, 2024 — Consulting Solutions, a nationally recognized leader in technology workforce and consulting services, announced today that it has earned a spot on the annual Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America. The company made this year’s prestigious ranking with a three-year revenue growth of 82 percent.

The recognition is one of many for Consulting Solutions, which most recently was also named as one of the 2024 Largest Staffing Firms in the United States by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) as well as one of the 2024 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® in the Nation by the National Association for Business Resources (NABR).

“To be recognized on this year’s Inc. 5000 is an honor and testament to the dedication and innovation of our entire team,” said Michael Werblun, CEO of Consulting Solutions. “Being listed among America’s fastest-growing private companies underscores our commitment to providing exceptional IT workforce and consulting services. We’re incredibly proud of this achievement and remain focused on delivering outstanding value and service to our clients.”

This is the second time that Consulting Solutions has been ranked on the Inc. 5000 since 2020.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, the average median three-year revenue growth rate is 1,637 percent. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting Tuesday, August 13, and the top 500 appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20.

“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” said Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.”

Methodology

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 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 four decimal places.
