Ralph Estep Jr.

Author, Father, Husband, Rancher

Ralph V. Estep, Jr. is a Delaware-based licensed accountant, author, rancher, and media host with more than 30 years of experience in finance, taxation, and small-business leadership. As the founder of Saggio Accounting+PLUS and the creator of the Ask Ralph Media network, Ralph helps entrepreneurs, creators, and everyday families replace money confusion with clarity, confidence, and practical next steps—without shame and without hype.

Ralph’s work blends deep professional expertise with a coach’s mindset and a communicator’s heart. He has held leadership roles across public accounting, financial institutions, law firms, and technology organizations, bringing a rare combination of traditional accounting rigor and modern systems thinking to the people he serves. A graduate of the University of Delaware and Wilmington University (MBA), Ralph is known for turning complex money topics into simple, repeatable frameworks that help people make wiser decisions and build lasting financial stability.

Through Ask Ralph Media, Ralph hosts multiple shows designed to meet people where they are and guide them forward. He is the host of Financially Confident Christian, a daily, faith-based show offering warm, pastoral encouragement for listeners who want peace and practical wisdom with their finances.

He also hosts Truth Unveiled with Ralph, a weekly program that contrasts cultural pressure with biblical truth and invites listeners into deeper spiritual and practical alignment. For small business owners, Ralph leads Grit and Growth Business, spotlighting real stories of obstacles, resilience, and growth—the hard-won lessons behind meaningful success.

In addition, he hosts The Content Creator’s Accountant, a show focused on financial clarity and tax strategy for creators, helping them move from “creator money chaos” to confident, informed decisions.

Ralph is also a co-host and associate producer on Podcasting Morning Chat, contributing to the wider podcasting community through daily conversation, production support, and industry insight. Across every platform, he is recognized for an approach that is calm, direct, and systems-driven—anchored in the belief that most money stress isn’t a character issue, but a system issue that can be solved with the right structure and consistent habits.

Beyond accounting and media, Ralph is the author of Mastering Your Finances and Gospel of Entrepreneurship, and he brings a grounded, real-world perspective to his work as the operator of Estep Farm LLC, raising Black Angus cattle. He lives in Delaware with his wife, Jennifer, and their two sons, balancing family life, entrepreneurship, and content creation while mentoring business owners and creators who want to build something steady, impactful, and aligned with their values.

Whether he’s coaching a business owner, advising a creator, or speaking to a listener who feels overwhelmed by money, Ralph’s message is consistent: clarity beats confusion, peace is possible, and the next faithful step is always within reach.
