The 2014 Nationwide Fastest-Growing Firms

There are many ways to achieve growth, and firms around the country are looking for the

model that best fits their environment, practice mix and culture. Many firms choose to grow

by acquisition, and can quickly grow by 50%, 75%, or in rare cases, 100% in one year.

IPA chooses to recognize those firms that are growing organically – through solid business

development efforts, niche development, new service offerings and finding more services to

provide current clients. IPA

Fastest-Growing Firms Over $15 Million

The Fastest-Growing Firms Over $15 Million averaged 17% organic revenue growth last

year. As a group, their practice mix is made up of audit (36.5% of total net revenue), tax

(30.1% of total net revenue) and non-traditional services making up one-third of the total.

Significant service areas for these firms include computer consulting, wealth management

services, health care consulting, governmental consulting, payroll processing and fund

administration, to name a few. IPA
