The Inc. 5000 list, published annually by Inc., one of America’s leading business magazines, identifies the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. Recognized as one of the world’s most prestigious business rankings, the list is regarded as a “showcase of success” in the American business world. This year, Manay CPA—founded by Turkish entrepreneur Burcu Bree Manay and currently managing the accounting of over $1 billion in trade volume—secured a spot among the top 100 companies in the finance category.
In the Inc. 5000 process, which evaluates thousands of companies from different sectors based on growth rates, contributions to employment, and innovative business models, businesses shaping the future of the U.S. economy stood out. Founded by licensed CPA Burcu Bree Manay in the U.S., Manay CPA provides consultancy in company formation, taxation, accounting, and payroll services across all 50 states. Earning a place on this prestigious list marked a significant milestone for the firm.
Expressing that being ranked among the top 100 was a great honor, Burcu Bree Manay said:
“We are proud to be recognized among the many companies that approach their customers with a community-focused mindset, create jobs, and make America the country of innovation, especially as one of the top 100 in the finance sector.”
Selected from Thousands of Companies
This year, a record number of applications were submitted for the Inc. 5000 list. Small, medium, and large businesses across the U.S., as well as startups from diverse industries, were evaluated. Offering personalized, comprehensive financial advisory services through its licensed team to both individuals and businesses, Manay CPA emerged as one of the fastest-growing finance companies in the country.
Highlighting that being among the top 100 financial companies in a record-breaking year was proof of the trust placed in their services, Burcu Bree Manay stated:
“As a well-established company with a high success rate, we are seeing our contributions to both the U.S. and Turkish economies recognized on prestigious international platforms. This achievement proves that Manay CPA—providing clients with nearly 20 years of uninterrupted professional support in taxation, accounting, human resources, transfer pricing, and corporate strategies—is on the right path.”
Among the Most Successful Women in Accounting
Manay CPA had already gained recognition in previous years with notable achievements. At the end of 2022, the firm was named one of the best small businesses of the year for the third consecutive time by the Cobb Chamber of Commerce in Atlanta—one of the three largest chambers of commerce in the U.S. At the same time, it guided numerous Turkish enterprises expanding into the U.S. market. CEO Burcu Bree Manay also made it onto the Ignition 2023 “Top 50 Women in Accounting” list, which honors women contributing to the advancement of the accounting profession. Furthermore, with her membership in the Forbes Business Council, she has gained a strong foothold in the global business arena.
Touching on the rise of women entrepreneurs in the business world, Manay stated:
“SMEs hold a significant share in every country’s economy. With their expertise, achievements, and courage, women entrepreneurs are strengthening their representation in the business world year after year. In this regard, Manay CPA’s accomplishments are highly meaningful.”
“We Are Our Clients’ Business Partner”
Reminding that business owners must consider a wide range of issues—from accounting to transfer pricing, from the varying state tax systems to diverse market characteristics, from human resources to international taxation—Burcu Bree Manay concluded with:
“Manay CPA focuses on building deep and long-term relationships with its clients. In every area companies need support—whether company formation in the U.S., consultancy, payroll, international taxation, transfer pricing, human resources, or accounting—we are by their side. To date, we have contributed to the success stories of nearly 5,000 entrepreneurs and managed the accounting of over $1 billion in trade volume. By bringing Turkish entrepreneurs into the U.S. market, we both contribute to the economic relations between the two countries and guide entrepreneurs in America who aim for sustainable success. Being ranked among the top 100 in finance on Inc. 5000 is the strongest evidence of this vision.”
