CHICAGO, May 18, 2023 – Casey Clark, CEO and Co-founder of Cultivate Advisors, has been honored with the 2023 Gold Stevie Award for Best Entrepreneur in the Business & Professional Services category by the American Business Awards. The judges recognized Clark for overseeing Cultivate’s “explosive” growth, along with his “commitment to supporting his fellow entrepreneurs” and “creating a positive company culture for his employees.”
“What an honor this is for all the entrepreneurs that make up the Cultivate team and all the entrepreneurs we work with daily to help them scale and grow their businesses,” said Clark. “We’ve always believed their success is ours and vice versa. That’s why this award is a win for not only me but for the entire Cultivate community.
Cultivate Advisors is one of North America’s largest small business advising firms. In ten years under Clark’s leadership, he and his team have helped thousands of companies in 160 industries grow and scale. Clients that work with Cultivate for 12 months or more see an average growth rate of 43% in top-line revenue and 65% in bottom-line profit year-over-year. Many clients have made the Inc. 5000, an honor awarded to Cultivate four years in a row with 3-year growth rates of 185% (2022), 338% (2021), 610% (2020), and 1,558% (2019). Just recently, the company was named to Inc. magazine’s 2023 list of Best Workplaces.
“Casey Clark and his team at Cultivate Advisors have achieved remarkable success,” said one judge. Another noted that Cultivate stood out to them from the competition due to their “stunning” growth rates and “impressive” impact through coaching. A third judge cited the importance of advisory firms like Cultivate. “It’s essential that businesses, particularly startups, have the best chance of not only surviving but thriving. The work this company is doing is playing a major part in this.”
