LOS ANGELES -- Outsource Partners International, Inc. (OPI) announced that it has been included in Inc. magazine's 24th annual Inc. 500 ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. With three-year revenue growth of 842%, Outsource Partners International ranks No. 111 on

"Recognition in the Inc. 500 is a real tribute to the hard work and dedication of our nearly 900 associates who together built this company into a premier business process outsourcing firm," said Clarence T. Schmitz, Chairman and CEO. "We take great pride in that accomplishment and want to thank our clients as well who have seen fit to entrust us with their critical accounting functions. We look forward to continuing to build on this success and achieving even more significant milestones in the years ahead."

The companies that made the Inc. 500 represent the vanguard of American industry, posting an average three-year sales growth of 769%. Inc. 500 companies posted aggregate 2004 revenue of $15.9 billion, and 84% of them were profitable. Most importantly, Inc. 500 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 95,000 jobs since the companies were founded.

"When you look at the amazing job growth among Inc. 500 companies and contrast it with the stagnation in the Fortune 500, it underscores the changing nature of our economy," said Jim Melloan, project manager for the Inc. 500. "With unprecedented global competition, companies have to be able to turn on a dime and discover innovative new ways of doing business. Increasingly, it's the smaller, agile companies like those on the Inc. 500 that are best equipped to meet these challenges."
