Rodefer Moss Ranked on Inc. 5000 List

NEW YORK– Inc. today ranked Rodefer Moss & Co, PLLC No. 1,666 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an ex- tension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy. “The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Mel- loan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Con- struction that are underreported in the business media.” “Rodefer Moss has used an entrepreneurial spirit and principles to deal with the pressures and challenges that confront many small companies that want to expand their boundaries, services and employment,” said Jimmy Rodefer, CEO. “The difference between our firm and many similar organizations is that we have been successful in using an entrepreneurial model to overcome these pressures and challenges and transform Rodefer Moss into one of Tennessee’s largest accounting firms.” The 2007 Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 140 percent. Complete information on this year’s Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The list features a profile for each com- pany, almost all of them written as a result of Inc. interviews with management. In addition, the list is searchable according to numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region, and year founded. The 2007 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based and privately held, independent – not subsidiaries or di- visions of other companies – as of December 31, 2006, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006.
