NEW YORK, August 17, 2016 – Inc. magazine today ranked Strategic Financial Solutions NO. 419 on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

Of being named among 30 financial services companies on the list of 5000, CEO Ryan Sasson said “When I stop to reflect on where we started nine years ago, it takes me a moment to digest that fact that we are now part of the iconic Inc. 500 club. My co-founder Daniel Blumkin and I are proud of the culture that our Strategic Family has been able to maintain through the growth and our commitment to our core values that enable us to have such life-changing successes for our clients.”

The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc. (available on newsstands August 23) is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period.

Strategic Financial Solutions employs a highly consultative approach to deeply understand the needs of its clients and the history of their hardships. With this understanding of our clients’ needs, Strategic Financial Solutions tailors debt relief options that include debt consolidation loans, and debt resolution and credit card modification programs.
