Curriculum Associates Named One of the 50 Fastest-Growing Private Companies and One of the Largest Private Companies in Massachusetts by the Boston Business Journal

NORTH BILLERICA, Mass., May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Boston Business Journal announced that Curriculum Associates has been named to their 2017 "FAST 50" list of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in Massachusetts for the third consecutive year. The publication also recognized Curriculum Associates as one of the state's Largest Private Companies for the second year in a row.

The Fast 50 winners were selected and ranked based on a formula that counts revenue growth in the preceding three years. Nearly 160 privately held companies applied for inclusion by submitting nominations that included financial performance, and the Business Journal's Research Department and CPA firm Withum, a Fast 50 partner, evaluated the figures provided to determine the rankings. Only those firms with a headquarters in Massachusetts and revenue of at least $500,000 in 2013 and $1 million in 2016 were considered. Companies that did not show growth from 2015 to 2016 were excluded. The Boston Business Journal announced the rankings at an awards reception on Thursday, May 11, at F1 Boston.
