About Redstone GCI

Redstone GCI is a consulting firm focused on fulfilling the needs of government contractors in all areas of compliance.

We are home to a group of consultants made up of GovCon industry professionals, CPAs, attorneys, and retired government audit and acquisition professionals.

When we see a trend in the needs of contractors, we act to ensure we can provide the best expertise in the market to fulfill those needs.
