The hard work, tenacity, and dedication that is needed to be on this list is one our team embodies every day. We are looking forward to continuing forming connections that move teammates upward, communities forward, and impact onward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earning recognition for seven consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 is a rare achievement.&nbsp;The award recipients of 2023 represent companies that have&nbsp;driven&nbsp;rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and&nbsp;ongoing&nbsp;hiring challenges. In all, this year\u2019s&nbsp;list of&nbsp;companies added&nbsp;1,187,266&nbsp;jobs to the economy over the past three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRunning a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,\u201d says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. \u201cTo make the Inc. 5000\u2014with the fast growth that requires\u2014is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inc-5000-methodology\">Inc. 5000 Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent&#8211;not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies&#8211;as of December 31, 2022. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2022 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine rankings were calculated to four decimal places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-fwf\">About FWF<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>FWF is a third-party logistics and transportation company headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI.
