ABG CapitalAs the summer draws to a close, ABG Capital’s business continues to flourish. Of its portfolio companies, VoIP Innovations has experienced the most growth, to the point where it was recently recognized both regionally and nationally as a company to watch in the Wholesale VoIP arena.

Locally, VoIP Innovations placed 12th overall and 2nd in technology in the Pittsburgh Business Times’ Pittsburgh 100 list of fastest growing companies. Nationally, VoIP Innovations was ranked 744th on the prestigious Inc. 500|5000 list of the nation’s fastest growing businesses, published annually by Inc. magazine.

As a result of its exponential growth, VoIP Innovations is looking to bring on new employees. Currently, they are hiring Technical Service Representatives for their Support Department and Provisioning Representatives for their Porting Department.

InspiraFS, another ABG Capital company, provides comprehensive IRA Rollover solutions to Retirement Industry Professionals. Look for a few exciting announcements from InspiraFS this fall as it anticipates similar growth for the rest of 2012 and beyond. In advance of that expected growth, InspiraFS is looking to hire additional Customer Service Representatives.

With so much growth among its portfolio companies, the executive core at ABG Capital is also looking to expand. ABG Capital is currently seeking an Accounting Assistant and an Office Administrator to add to its family of employees.
