The Inc. 5000 List is one of the Most Prestigious Rankings of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies
ROANOKE, VA, UNITED STATES, August 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Beacon Wealth Consultants today announced it has been ranked No. 4333 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.
“We made the Inc. 5000. Proud doesn’t begin to cover it,” says Rick Laymon, CEO of Beacon Wealth. “This recognition reflects something bigger than growth numbers. It validates a simple belief: faith-driven investors shouldn’t have to choose between their values and competitive returns. I’m grateful to every client who trusts us with both.”
“This recognition is a tribute to our founder, Rick Laymon, whose vision for faith-based investing began long before it became widely recognized or mainstream,” shares Cassandra Laymon, President of Beacon Wealth. “From the beginning, Rick believed that serving clients meant more than providing sound financial guidance; it meant understanding what matters most to them and caring for them with expertise, integrity, and compassion. That commitment has shaped our culture and allowed us to build a team of like-minded professionals who genuinely put clients first. Being named to the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor, but we believe our growth is ultimately a reflection of the trust our clients have placed in us and our commitment to serving them well.”
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.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
