In today’s competitive automotive finance landscape, staying ahead means embracing innovation, solving complex challenges, and consistently delivering results. F&I Sentinel, the trusted compliance and risk-management solutions provider for aftermarket products in the auto finance industry, has done just that—and the recognition is rolling in.
We’re proud to announce that F&I Sentinel has been named to the 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 500™, a prestigious ranking of North America’s fastest-growing companies across technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences, fintech, and energy tech sectors. Ranking 454 as a first-time award recipient and with nearly 300% revenue growth over the past three years, this milestone reflects both the trust of our partners and the relentless drive of our team.
A Journey Fueled by Purpose
At the heart of this success is a commitment to solving the most pressing challenges facing auto lenders, auto dealerships and F&I product administrators, with an eye to helping all groups foster a better consumer experience. Our CEO, Stephen McDaniel, captured this sentiment perfectly:
“Our inclusion on this esteemed list is a testament to the team’s incredible hard work toward solving the operational challenges and compliance pressures faced by the industry. It’s always rewarding to be recognized for the ongoing commitment it takes to navigate a changing market, transform when necessary, and ultimately facilitate the creation of more positive consumer car buying experiences. This is only the beginning.”
It’s not just about growth—it’s about meaningful growth. From automating compliance processes to minimizing financial and reputational risk, we’ve built solutions that redefine what’s possible in aftermarket product compliance.
Why F&I Sentinel Stands Out
At the core of our success are our flagship platforms, CITADEL® and Express Recoveries. Trusted by over 100 auto lenders—including 10 of the top 20 in the U.S.—and more than 600 F&I product administrators, these solutions are designed to simplify the complexities of compliance in a highly regulated industry.
Through a unique combination of automation and human expertise, we provide a dynamic, end-to-end approach to compliance that addresses every stage of the F&I product lifecycle—from origination to cancellation and refunds.
What the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ Means for Us
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500™ is more than a list; it’s a celebration of innovation, resilience, and transformative growth. Now in its 30th year, this program honors companies that push the boundaries of their industries, with past winners including trailblazers like Google, eBay, and Tesla.
To qualify, companies must demonstrate:
- Proprietary technology that drives a majority of their revenue.
- Substantial fiscal milestones, including base-year revenues of at least $50,000 and current-year revenues of $5 million.
- A proven track record of innovation and growth over at least four years.
F&I Sentinel’s inclusion is a reflection of our ability to evolve, adapt, and lead in a rapidly shifting market.
Looking Ahead: What’s Next for F&I Sentinel?
While we’re honored to receive this recognition, we see it as a stepping stone, not a finish line. As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, we remain committed to helping our partners navigate uncertainty with confidence. With a focus on continuous innovation and client success, we’re ready to shape the future of auto finance compliance.
To everyone who has been part of this journey—our team, our partners, and our clients—thank you. Your trust and collaboration inspire us to keep pushing boundaries.
