In addition, goeasy has been included in the inaugural Report on Business list of Canada’s Top Growing Companies for its three-year cumulative revenue growth.   

“We are honoured to be ranked on the TSX30 and to be included on the Report on Business’ list of Top Growing Companies in Canada, which is a result of our three-year revenue growth of 66% and cumulative three-year dividend-adjusted share price appreciation of 209%,” said Jason Mullins, goeasy’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “While this recognition highlights the strength of our business over the last three years, our journey includes 19 years of hard work and dedication demonstrated by our passionate employees who take great care of our customers.
