It's that time of year again - the Portland Business Journal has just released their list of the 100 Fastest-Growing Private Companies. These organizations are leading the regional economy forward, and we couldn't be more excited to applaud their success!

And we admit to a little bias: We applaud loudest for our current and former clients who made the list this year. Check out those companies below, and please join us as we congratulate them on this remarkable achievement!
