__Austin, TX, October 28th, 2016 –__ Last night 8am LLC, the parent company behind the popular LawPay and CPACharge payment solutions, was ranked #16 in the 2016 Austin Business Journal’s Fast 50. This is the fourth time that 8am has been named to this notable list of growing Austin companies.

“We are honored to once again be included in such a remarkable group of Central Texas businesses,” said 8am CEO and Founder, Amy Porter. “We experienced incredible growth this year thanks to the hard work of our team and I cannot wait to see what next year brings.”

Named “America’s next boomtown” by Forbes, Austin’s business community is rapidly expanding. As such, inclusion in Austin’s Fast 50 is extremely selective, recognizing only those Central Texas companies with the most dramatic growth over a three-year period. To be considered for this year’s list, businesses had to submit comprehensive financial data that was then verified by an outside party. The top 50 companies were split into two groups, large companies and small companies, and were then ranked in order according to compounded revenue growth.
