DENVER, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AbsenceSoft, a leading provider of leave and accommodations management SaaS solutions, today announced it has been ranked No. 2685 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation's most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.

This marks AbsenceSoft's second appearance on the Inc. 5000, following its 2024 ranking. The repeat recognition reflects the company's continued growth and expanding impact as organizations invest more heavily in modern leave and accommodations management.

"Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the second time is a meaningful milestone at an exciting time for the company," said Chris Murphy, AbsenceSoft CEO. "This reflects our accelerating momentum and market demand. Managing leave and accommodations has never been more complex, and there's never been more pressure on organizations to get it right. We're proud to support more than 10,000 employers and over 7 million employees, and we see tremendous market opportunity ahead as we continue to grow our team, expand our platform, and scale."

This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
