September 25, 2009 - Inc Magazine Names Local Firm One Of Fastest Growing Companies in U.S.

Huberty & Associates, S.C., founded in 1981 by Wayne Huberty, grew by 80.7 percent in the past three years. The company increased revenue from $1.6 million in 2005 to $2.9 million in 2008, according to the national publication.

Huberty is among 14 Northeast Wisconsin companies to receive the honor. Only private U.S. companies with a revenue of at least $200,000 in 2005 and $2 million in 2008 qualified for the award.

"This award shows that all the efforts and hard work of our team has paid off," said Wayne Huberty, a certified public accountant who started the company in 1981 with a staff of six that has grown to 31 employees in four communities.

The 2009 Inc. 5000 list serves as a unique report card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession, revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $214 billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a median three-year growth rate of 126 percent.

"It is an honor to get on this national list and it's exciting for our staff," Huberty said, noting that the initial contact from Inc. Magazine alerted him to the fact his firm might qualify. "They invited me to apply, and I had to submit considerable paperwork to prove our growth," Huberty said.

To qualify for Inc. Magazine's 5000 list, a company had to be in business at least five years. "Most of the companies on the list were fairly young — just past the start-up mode," Huberty said. "We've been around 28 years, so to have growth after that period of time I think is impressive. It says good things about our staff and the hands-on approach we take with our clients throughout the year-- not just during the tax season."

 

In January, 2008 Huberty & Associates, S.C. was also honored when Forbes magazine named their company "one of the most reliable CPA firms in the Midwest."
