There's solid growth, there's steady growth, there's strong growth, and then someone needs to find an adjective to describe the growth Gnarus Advisors has experienced over the last two years. Outrageous? Epic? Cosmic? All seem to fit, but none really seem able to put the 304 percent the firm grew in proper perspective.
Not to be outdone, Stephen Sellick, managing director of the firm, which specializes in expert analysis, testimony and business advisory, is projecting what must seem like a modest 100 percent revenue increase for 2011. Oh, and the firm will also be increasing its headcount from 30 consultants to 50 at the same time.
Assuming those projections hold, Gnarus will have grown more than 700 percent in two years and increased its staff from 5 to 50 billable consultants. "I don't think of the growth by percentages, but rather look at it as where do we have opportunities that present themselves to hire extraordinary talented people who fit well into our culture?" Sellick says.
