Atlanta-based Boutique Consulting Firm Makes the Inc. 5000 List for 10th Consecutive Year
ATLANTA, Georgia – August 16, 2017 – For the tenth consecutive year, Insight Sourcing Group has been ranked on the Inc. 5000, the prestigious annual ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The Inc. 5000 list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment: its independent small businesses. 2017 marks a milestone for Insight Sourcing Group who now joins the “10x Club,” a honor that fewer than half of one percent of Inc. 5000 honorees ever achieve.
“As the company founder, making the elite ‘10x Club’ is truly an honor and point of pride for me personally,” said Tom Beaty, founder and CEO of Insight Sourcing Group. “We have a belief called ‘Intelligent Growth’ whereby we strive for growth but only to the extent that we can maintain our outstanding client results, our culture, and our financial performance. Being ranked on the Inc. 5000 for the tenth straight year is affirmation that we’re achieving all three goals.”
Insight Sourcing Group jumped 220 spots on this year’s list, having posted a three-year sales growth of 83% and adding over 50 jobs during the same period. The firms organic growth can be attributed to a series of bold strategic decisions. In 2012, the firm spun its proprietary spend visibility solution—at the time used internally for client spend analysis—into a standalone, SaaS-based business unit called SpendHQ (now used by over 150 companies including one of the 10 largest companies in the world as well as one of the top 10 private equity firms in the world). In 2014, the firm established its Enterprise Energy Solutions division, which helps clients reduce both their energy costs and demand. And in 2017, it rebranded its group purchasing division as InsightGPO, which now has over 500 members across multiple indirect category programs.
“The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts,” says Editor-in-Chief and Inc. President Eric Schurenberg. “It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great — usually from scratch. That’s one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows.”
