In November of 2002, Ralph founded Cetrulo & Morgan Group, a public accounting firm headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. 95% of Ralph’s targeted clients followed him to the new firm. The Company, which began with five employees, now employs 15 people and services close to 900 clients.

In an effort to expand beyond traditional accounting services, Ralph founded CMS Source as a holding company in 2005.

These services, initially marketed to existing clients, have allowed the Company to expand into new markets.

Ted’s success in working with Owners and CEOs as an Execution Coach is derived from his personal experience. Having not only managed, but also personally owned all or part of three of the companies he transformed, he knows at a personal, emotional and financial level, what it’s like to have the lives of his employees in his hands—not to mention his house on the line and numerous personal paychecks in his top desk drawer. His approach to Execution Coaching is as a trusted advisor who stands next to a CEO/Owner in his or her time of need and support. Ted knows what it’s like to be lonely at the top and recognizes the value of having someone who’s willing to cry “Baloney!” or “Great Job!” without fear and with experience.
