ALC ranked #2249 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 List — Two Years Running!
We’re back on the Inc. 5000 list — and it’s not lost on us what that took. This year, ALC is ranked #2249 in the country, #315 in California, and #123 in the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area, and none of it happens without the clients who trust us every day and the team that shows up to earn that trust.
The Inc. 5000 list has been spotlighting the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. since 1982. It started as the Inc. 500, highlighting the top 500 companies driving innovation and growth, and expanded to 5,000 to give a fuller picture of entrepreneurial success across the country.
Getting on the list isn’t easy — it’s based on real numbers, with companies required to show strong revenue growth over a three-year period. Past honorees include brands like Zappos, Patagonia, and Under Armour. We’re humbled to be named alongside these companies, and even more humbled to make the list for the second year running.
We didn’t set out to make the Inc. 5000. We set out to help business owners get their time back and build better businesses — handling their entire back office, including finance, accounting, and HR, so they can get back to doing what they do best. This recognition is simply a byproduct of that mission, and our continued growth allows us to keep investing in our people, technology, AI capabilities, and service model so we can deliver an even better experience for our clients.
“When I started ALC, my goal was simple: maximize our clients’ business valuations by managing two crucial but often neglected parts of their business – Finance and HR. The time they save and the confidence they gain with ALC’s support unlocks their potential as leaders and their businesses thrive as a result! Being recognized by Inc. 5000 for a second year is confirmation that staying true to that goal is paying off. I’m endlessly proud of the team that brings this to life every day, and grateful to the clients who’ve trusted us to be part of their journey.” — Shirley Wiliani, Founder and CEO
Making the list once was an honor. Making it twice tells us we’re building something that lasts. Our promise at ALC is to #WOWprofessionally and #CAREpersonally, and we honor it with each and every interaction we have.
While we’re proud of this milestone, we’re even more excited about what’s ahead. We’ll continue investing in our people, our technology, and our client experience as we strive to help more businesses thrive.
