Who is Top RHO?

Top RHO helps SMB owners and operators get clarity on their numbers, operations, risks, and growth priorities so they can make better decisions faster. We combine financial intelligence, operational diagnostics, risk assessment, and execution support into one platform (MyGridline). Two core service lines:

VIGIL365

Diligence & Risk Confidence

Pre-acquisition diligence, compliance audits, risk assessments, and hidden-liability detection for buyers, sellers, and PE-backed companies. Helps owners spot risks, diligence gaps, and issues before they cost money.

ASCEND365

Growth & Operating Clarity

Post-acquisition optimization, financial reporting, KPI dashboards, and growth execution for owner-operators and portfolio companies. Helps owners get clear on numbers, priorities, and next growth moves.

Engagement tiers: Guided Execution, Done With You, Done For You.

When to Refer: Vigil365

Refer when your client needs diligence or risk clarity:

  • Considering acquisition (buy or sell) but hasn't done proper diligence
  • Compliance gaps, unmonitored liabilities, or blind-spot risks are blocking deals or growth
  • Owner suspects hidden issues but can't quantify them
  • Post-acquisition integration is stalling because the acquired company's books or operations are messy
  • Client needs investor-ready reporting or board dashboards before raising or reporting
  • Financial data lives in spreadsheets instead of a trusted system
  • Owner says "I think we're profitable" but can't show proof

When to Refer: Ascend365

Refer when your client needs operating or growth clarity:

  • Growth has plateaued and the owner suspects operational drift but can't pinpoint it
  • Client is making big decisions (hiring, expanding, investing) without clear operating visibility
  • Team is executing but there's no accountability structure or KPI tracking
  • Owner doesn't know their real margins, unit economics, or cash position
  • Client can't produce clean financials without guessing or manual workarounds
  • Post-acquisition optimization is needed but the owner lacks an operating partner
  • Client needs fractional operating support to execute a 90-day or 180-day plan

What Happens After the Referral

Top RHO runs a free 30-minute diagnostic call with the referred client to assess fit. If there's alignment, they propose an engagement tier.

Partners receive 20% revenue share for the lifetime of any resulting contract.
