I’m thankful that two plus years ago (June 2012) our team of incredibly talented consultants took the leap of faith and decided to leave the comfort of a large firm and devote their careers to supporting our Government Contracting clients around the US and internationally. 

I am thankful and humbled by the fact that our incredibly talented work force shows up for work each day and commits to a long-term objective of serving our customers and making a difference.

I’m thankful for each and every customer we have (over 500) and I’m thankful that we never take for granted our role and that all of our employees have a servant attitude toward meeting our customers objectives.  

I’m thankful that our team is well rounded and also supports local and national charities and that we understand that family and relationships are critical. Balance is important and we strive to maintain a balance between work and family.

I’m thankful that we are more focused on client service and customer results than we are on targeted profit margins.  Thankfully we strive to do the right thing and make decisions based on our customer’s needs and budget objectives.

This Thanksgiving I give thanks to those who had the courage to take risk, get out of their comfort zones and follow their passions.  It’s at the core of our Country and why we are the greatest Country in the world.  I am thankful for our service veterans and the sacrifices that were made so that we can enjoy freedom.  God bless and have a great Thanksgiving.

About Redstone GCI

Redstone GCI is a consulting firm focused on fulfilling the needs of government contractors in all areas of compliance. With a singular mission to help contractors through the multiple layers of “red tape,” we allow contractors to focus on what they do best – support their mission with the U.S. Government. We are home to a group of consultants made up of GovCon industry professionals, CPAs, attorneys, and retired government audit and acquisition professionals.

Our focus and knowledge of audit and compliance functions administered by DCAA and DCMA will always be at the heart of what we do. However, for the past decade, we’ve strategically grown to support other areas of the government contractor back-office with that same level of focus and expertise. We’ve added expertise in contracts management, subcontract administration, proposal pricing, various software systems, HR and employment law, property administration, manufacturing, data analytics/reporting, Grant specialists, M&A, and many other areas. 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.

One thing our clients can be certain of is that with the Redstone GCI Team in your corner, there is no problem too big and no issue too technical for our team to tackle.
