PHOENIX, Oct. 31, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fourth year running, J.D. Mellberg Financial, an Arizona-based financial services company with national distribution, made an appearance on Inc. magazine's 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the fastest growing private companies in the country. On the 2014 list, J.D. Mellberg Financial was ranked 1,170 overall, 73 in the U.S. financial services industry and 24 in the state of Arizona.
The company has been featured on Inc.'s list for four consecutive years due to its growth in not only revenues - boasting 374 percent growth over three years - but also total employees, as J.D. Mellberg Financial added nearly 80 jobs over the same time frame. And as its new J.D. Signature Annuities Strategies concept gains traction, the company's influence is continuing to grow.
"It's truly an honor to be featured as an Inc. 5000 company for the fourth year in a row," said Josh Mellberg, president of J.D. Mellberg Financial. "The success we've experienced in the last several years is a testament to the fact that those who are retired or preparing for retirement want assistance in planning for their retirement financial confidence. They can turn to J.D. Mellberg Financial for the information and empowerment they need to take control of their financial future using the strategies, often with annuities, for retirement income we provide. We're excited and proud to be recognized on such a prestigious list."
J.D. Mellberg stands in good company on the Inc. 5000 list. In total, all companies included saw a 516 percent three-year growth rate and a 2014 aggregate revenue of $211 billion.
"What surprises me, even though I know it's coming, is the sheer variety of the paths our entrepreneurs take to success, thematically reflecting how our economy has evolved," said Eric Schurenberg, CEO and editor-in-chief of Inc. "This year there are far more social media and far fewer computer hardware businesses than there were, say, six years ago. But what doesn't change is the fearsome creativity unleashed by American entrepreneurship."
Complete results of the Inc. 5000 published 9/1/2014, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
