Sandy Springs-Based Mather Economics Among Inc. Magazine's 2014 List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies--the Inc. 500/5000

Mather Economics Ranks with 226 Percent Growth Over Three Years, 69th out of 209 Georgia-Based Companies Recognized

ATLANTA, (Oct. 10, 2014) – Mather Economics, a global consulting firm that applies a combination of analytical tools and implementation expertise to help businesses develop pricing strategies that maximize operating margins, grow revenue and improve customer loyalty, has been ranked on Inc. Magazine’s 33rd annual Inc. 500/5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This year, 209 Georgia-based companies earned a spot on the Inc. 500/5000 and of those, Mather Economics ranked 69th with 226 percent growth over the last three years.

The Inc. 500/5000 represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, LinkedIn, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500/5000.

“It’s an honor to be recognized for our growth and included in the Inc. 500/5000 alongside such well-respected, successful companies,” said Matt Lindsay, president of Mather Economics. “We continue to innovate and grow, bringing the best analytical tools and strongest expertise to businesses that want to better understand customers and, in turn, implement pricing strategies that work.”

The 2014 Inc. 500/5000, unveiled online at Inc.com, is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $211 billion, generating 505,000 jobs over the past three years. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, 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.

“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,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “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.”
