REAL TALK FUELS ZINNIA WEALTH MANAGEMENT’S FAST GROWTH!
Charisse Rivers founded Zinnia Wealth Management in 2007 because she didn’t like where the retirement planning industry was heading. Her colleagues were pushing “outdated practices and old-school theories,” and they weren’t keen to try fresh ideas. So, she launched Zinnia from her home.
It wasn’t easy being a woman in what was then a man’s world. People warned her she wouldn’t make it. When she did, competitors tried to push her out. But Rivers never quit. Fifteen years later, her firm ranks No. 1673 on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, with five offices across Central and Northern Florida, all led by female teams.
WE ARE ONE OF AMERICA’S FASTEST GROWING COMPANIES!
Inc. magazine today revealed that Zinnia Wealth Management is No. 1673 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“In a fast-paced environment that requires extreme focus and attention to detail, it’s a great feeling for us and our clients to know that our growing team is well equipped to handle the needs of retirees and pre-retirees across the United States,” says Charisse Rivers, CEO and founder of Zinnia Wealth Management.
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but this year’s list also proved especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5,000, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million. Together, those companies added more than 610,000 jobs over the past three years.
