*All companies pay a fee to be considered by Inc. for the Inc. 5000 ranking. Inc. did not award Harness a No. 1 ranking among all tax tech startups on the 2024 Inc. 5000. This ranking is based on Harness’ own observations of the 5000 companies included in this publication. Harness was one out of four tax tech companies on the 5000 list. Revenue growth was calculated by Inc. based on the gross annual revenue for the base year (2020) and for year three (2023). Harness ranked No. 16 out of 295 financial services firms of the Inc. 5000 companies. This ranking uses the same methodology as Harness’ ranking No. 192 out of 5000 fastest-growing private companies referenced in this article.
NEW YORK, August 13, 2024 – Inc. revealed today that Harness ranks No. 192 overall on the 2024 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The Inc. 5000 ranking provides a data-driven look at the fastest-growing private companies in America, based on their methodology, within the economic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of such an impressive cohort of companies recognized in this year’s Inc. 5000,” said David Snider, Founder and CEO of Harness. “We are particularly excited to be recognized as both the fastest growing tax technology and WealthTech business in the rankings. This award is a testament to the hard work of our incredible team.”
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. In its first appearance on the list, Harness ranked #192 overall, with a three-year revenue growth rate of 2,040%.
As Harness celebrates this achievement, the company remains focused on building better tax and financial services solutions for advisors & consumers, with the continued development of the Harness for Advisors platform as well as its consumer marketplace.

Methodology
Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places. See the full methodology.
