MINNEAPOLIS, MINN, November 1, 2006 - SALO, LLC, has been named one of the top Fastest Growing Private Companies, with a ranking of number three in the annual "Fast 50" survey conducted by the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal. The leading provider of senior-level contract finance and accounting consultants and senior-level financial search for direct hires, the four-year-old company posted impressive revenue growth for the past three years. In 2003, its revenues were $3.4 million, which increased in 2004 to $11.3 million and to $21 million in 2005. SALO's forecasted revenues for 2006 are projected to be approximately $34 million.

The young company is enjoying a banner year. Its founding principals, Amy Langer and John Folkestad, were also recognized recently as "Emerging Entrepreneurs of the Year" in the annual Ernst & Young Entrepreneurs of the Year 2006 Awards. In the past year, the company has diversified by starting affiliate Oberon, which specializes in providing senior-level Human Resources contract professionals.

"We're proud and grateful to be recognized as one of the top companies in the 'Fast 50,' " notes Amy Langer. "The marketplace understands our value proposition, and how the current economic climate is ripe for both companies and our consultants for contract project hiring. Based on our growth trajectory for the near future, we're confidant that we can continue to be part of the Twin Cities' fastest growing private companies next year, too."

"Our hard-working internal staff and talented group of finance and accounting consultants share this award," says John Folkestad. "Our clients regularly tell us that SALO has the best consultants in the marketplace. Their outstanding performance at a myriad of Twin Cities companies has allowed us to achieve phenomenal growth in just four short years."
