Inc. ranks applicants according to percentage growth of their annual revenues over a three-year period. 2016 is the 35th annual Inc. 5000 ranking. HighTower, founded in 2008, first made the list in 2012 and has appeared every year since.
"Our consistent rapid growth reflects the power of the HighTower business model. The financial services industry needs to rebuild around the needs of the client and we're leading that change," said Elliot Weissbluth, CEO of HighTower.
