CitrinGroup moves to downtown Birmingham, doubles revenue

CitrinGroup is looking to capitalize on its recent growth by moving its offices from suburban office towers in Southfield to a downtown space in the heart of Birmingham.

"I have traveled and lived all over the world, but Birmingham is a real entrepreneurial place," says Jon Citrin, founder and CEO of CitrinGroup and a 34-year-old Birmingham native/resident. "There are a lot of entrepreneurs and small businesses here."

Citrin was also looking for a centrally located space that his clients would enjoy visiting. Downtown Birmingham's central location and vibrancy provided the perfect location for his growing 7-year-old firm.

The investment firm has doubled its revenue in the last 18 months and expects to grow it another 50-75 percent over the next year. That fast-yet-consistent growth has allowed Citrin to hire two employees and bring on three independent contractors last year, which he hopes to repeat again over the next year. Staffing levels currently stand at four full-timers and 10 independent contractors.
