Grady M. Collins, CPA

Real numbers, clear documentation, no games. That habit came from auditing at Deloitte and years of financial leadership inside public and private companies, including acquisition work. I studied accounting at Ohio State, and I still read a business the way a buyer's advisor will.

Today that background shows up in three places. I founded Main Street Exit Partners, a preparation-first business brokerage for owner-led companies in Greater Cincinnati. Most business sales are shaped long before the first buyer conversation, so the work starts with exit readiness, not a listing. I'm also a licensed real estate agent in Ohio, affiliated with eXp Commercial, where I focus specifically on small-bay industrial and contractor-garage real estate. And separately, I buy real estate and notes directly for my own account through Gold Medal Land.

Three different pursuits, one underlying approach: understand the numbers and give people a straight answer instead of a sales pitch.
