Bite down

Allan Barberio, one half of the name behind prominent Sarasota accounting firm Kerkering Barberio, languished in retirement for seven years until he recently got a call about teeth.

Not his teeth, but a business that manages dental practices. Although that might not sound super sexy, in the case of Sarasota-based Sebring Software, the business, Barberio thought, has a juicy potential bite. In fact, Sebring founder Leif Andersen, whose executive career ranges from natural gas to bathroom fixtures, projects the firm could reach $100 million in sales by 2016 and $300 million by 2018.

That's a whole lot of teeth, considering Sebring, publicly traded over the counter (stock symbol: SMXI) had no revenues through May and projects a mere $17 million in 2013.
