2019 By the Numbers

We made it!   As we look back on 2019, our year-end totals are revealing of the year that’s been. For example, we worked with more than 500 people in 2019. That’s a lot of smiles. Yes, numbers are just one of the tools we use to track our business, but they tell a vivid story of all that we…

Giving Thanks

In some ways, Grey House celebrates Thanksgiving year-round.   We take time to show appreciation for others whenever we get a chance. We’re always inviting people to come gather at our table. And, thanks to our catering partners, we’re always surrounded by amazing food. But this Thanksgiving, especially, we wanted to go above and beyond — to call out just ten…

Why We Run our Business from the Cloud 

The other day, I was having a discussion with Emily Madigan, a local digital consultant and one of our go-tos for tech and organizational system expertise.
