Ralph is the Manager of the Wilmington office of Stephano Slack LLC. He has been instrumental and successful in the roll-up of 19 companies, helping them expand from 25 people to nearly 700 in nine years. Ralph has 25 years of public accounting experience and nine as CFO. He demonstrates a unique understanding of client concerns regarding mergers and acquisitions, business valuations, financial forecasting, and stock option planning. He started his career at a regional CPA firm where he became partner. Ralph believes that CPAs are in a better position not only to serve small business accounting and tax needs, but also help foster growth, find the appropriate capital, and provide guidance throughout the business life cycle of a company.

Cetrulo & Morgan was the first company formed to create this vision of how a CPA firm can help and assist small to mid-size businesses. Ralph is a partner to small businesses throughout the entity’s business lifecycle: at start-up, through the growth period and, finally, at succession (sale or transition). This statement is validated by client loyalty, as 98% of Ralph’s client base chose to follow Ralph as he formed his new practice, Cetrulo & Morgan Group, in 2002.
