In the last 3 years, Escalon expanded its international business by 88% and grew overall by 97%. We boosted our service portfolio to include Insurance and Tax and now also offer on-demand Controller and CFO services.

Because of this staggering growth, Inc. 5000 chose us for their list of Fastest Growing Private Companies in the U.S. We actually secured slot #540 and are joining the ranks of former winners like Microsoft, Oracle, and Zappos.com.

“The Inc. 5000 is the most persuasive evidence I know that the American Dream is still alive,” said Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg.

We agree. We’re honored to get this recognition and are excited to continue helping businesses safely scale.

Leveling the playing field for SMBs

“We’re passionate about creating efficiencies in the back office, efficiencies that previously only large companies could enjoy. Our process focus and technology expertise allows us to bring these efficiencies to startups and SMB’s, paving the way for faster growth for them and us,” said Anurag Pal, CEO and co-founder of Escalon.

October 10-12, Escalon’s CEO Anurag Pal will accept this honor, along with the other Inc. 5000 honorees, at the 36th Annual Inc. 5000 Conference and Gala at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa in Palm Desert.

Speakers include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as former Ford president Alan Mullaly, FUBU CEO and founder and “Shark Tank” star Daymond John, Dollar Shave Club founder Michael Dubin, researcher and #1 New York Times bestseller Brené Brown, and Gravity Payments’ founder and CEO Dan Price.

“Companies are responding to our ability to offer a complete and seamless one-stop shop solution,” said Pal. “Our ability to do this in a process-based and technology-enabled way is giving customers confidence and our ability to scale with their growth allows them to sleep easier at night.”

Let’s continue scaling together.
