Company boasts three-year sales growth of 1,386.2% on the 2012 Inc. 500

LOS ANGELES, August 22, 2012 — Chrome River Technologies, a leading provider of expense management software and automated invoice processing, today announced that Inc. magazine ranked Chrome River number 258 on its 31st annual Inc. 500|5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The Inc. 500 is further segmented by industry and Chrome River ranked number 24 across the entire nation’s leading companies in the Software category.

The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500|5000.

“We are honored to be included in this exclusive ranking of the fastest growing private companies in the U.S.,” says Alan Rich, co-founder and CEO of Chrome River. “Our 1,386.2% sales growth over the last three years in the worst economy we have seen in our lifetime is a testament to the value our service provides to companies worldwide. Today, companies have to be judicious about how and where their money is spent. Chrome River offers companies a superb service that delivers complete process automation and cost controls around a company’s accounts payable operations.”

The 2012 Inc. 500, unveiled in the September issue of Inc. is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. To make the cut, companies had to have achieved a staggering minimum of 770% in sales growth. The Inc. 500’s aggregate revenue is $15.7 billion. The companies on this year’s Inc. 500 employ more than 48,000 people and generated over 40,000 jobs in the past three years.
