A Second Principal, Not an Outside Advisor

Gray Pryor works alongside owners of founder-led businesses generating $5M to $75M in revenue, serving as an embedded operating partner rather than an external consultant. Led by a CPA and CFA with direct experience as COO and CFO, we bring financial discipline and hands-on operating judgment to the table, not recommendations from the sidelines.
