Burt & Associates Makes it to the Inc. 500

Burt & Associates, a premier provider of back office, accounts receivables, and financial services, announced that it is ranked and recognized in the 25th annual Inc. 500 list of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S. Burt & Associates ranks 70th out of 500 private companies.

Mr. Jerry Curtis, president and CEO of Burt & Associates said that he and the company are very excited to be a part of the Inc. 500 Class of 2006. ?This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of all employees at Burt & Associates. We attribute our continuing growth to a belief and practice to be the accounts receivables provider of choice and to be the innovator in this industry.?

Editor of INC Magazine, Jane Berentson, said that ?if you want to find out which companies are going to change the world, look at the Inc. 500. ?These are the most innovative, dynamic, fastest growing companies in the nation today.?

To qualify for this year?s Inc. 500, a company had to be U.S.-based, privately held independent ? not a subsidiary or division of another company ? and meet a minimum in net sales in the base year.

?This is a milestone for Burt & Associates,? Curtis observed, ?Our company has seen phenomenal growth, but we have never taken our eyes off of what is most important and that is our clients. We wish to share this recognition with them and we look toward the future with anticipation and with the knowledge that we can accomplish even greater milestones.?
