Meet Tedd Drattell

Founder & CEO

In 2001 when I began The A Team Consulting as a sole practitioner delivering Fractional CFO services to a small group of businesses in New York City, I never imagined that 25 years later our company would grow to 30+ employees serving over 100 Clients nationwide. But, demand grew, and so did my vision. I expanded our services to include a full Team of Fractional CFOs, Controllers and Bookkeepers/Staff Accountants to meet evolving Client needs. By 2009, as the industry advanced, we added accounting recruiting services, followed by our AccountingIQ accounting technology and software solutions practice.

I am delighted that even after 25 years we have maintained the same entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence that started it all, and that we have been repeatedly recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Best Places to Work. We’re proud of our growth and success over the past 25 years, grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey, and we look forward to the years ahead.

Watch an episode of the Unbalanced Podcast where Tedd shares what it was really like to build a firm from the ground up, and why building a business that can function without you isn’t a luxury, but a necessity.

Client Testimonials

I hired The A Team to help me solve my practice’s bookkeeping and billing issues. They have consistently been available when I needed them, and they go above and beyond to make sure that all aspects of my personal and business finances are in order.
My A Team Controller is extremely reliable, efficient and responsive. She has put in place protocols to make billing accurate and timely, allowing me to spend more time with my patients and less time with paperwork.

The A Team has streamlined our financial books for our non-profit. The Team has provided multiple reports that are precise and detail oriented. If I have a question or need some information, they are always there to respond in a timely manner. Our financial books are up to date which has freed space to take care of other operational needs.

The Senior Accountant and Controller are extremely thorough, and I consider them as part of our Team. I am so pleased that we work with The A Team, and I highly recommend them for any business or non-profit.

I needed help to set up and organize the business side of my private practice and to get my billing in order. The A Team has more than exceeded my expectations. Their Controller is reliable, efficient, trustworthy, and highly skilled. Her positivity and calmness give me a sense of assuredness, thereby enabling me to focus on running my business.
With The A Team, I feel like I am in good hands. I am confident that my books are accurate and organized, and I can count on my Controller to help me accomplish my goals.

Always responsive and looking out for our best interests, our A Team Senior Staff Accountant is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is extremely competent, knowledgeable, and thorough in his work. Additionally, he is kind and caring.
Recently, our company President was ill, and our A Team Senior Staff Accountant reached out to check on how he was doing and expressed his concern. We consider our A Team Senior Staff Accountant as part of our Fortier team rather than an outside consultant.

We were starting a new business in a new industry and needed financial reporting that was accurate and reliable to help us guide our business decisions. The A Team Consulting has fully met all of our bookkeeping and financial reporting needs and has helped us to better understand our financial position.

Their team is very flexible and quick to respond to any and all of our questions and business needs. The A Team has taken full responsibility for all of our bookkeeping so we don’t have to worry about it. We know that they provide accurate and reliable reports upon which we can rely.

We absolutely love working with The A Team!

Our Controller has been excellent and has helped our company improve in so many ways. She helped to make the transition from our old accounting firm very smooth and provided very detailed oversight of all practice operations.

In addition, our Controller is always responsive to emails and takes care of business like a true professional. We are very happy we found The A Team!

When starting my first business, I faced anxiety and challenges. The A Team skillfully handled all of my accounting needs with responsiveness, flexibility and friendliness. The A Team’s amazing knowledge and their rapid response time were off the charts! This allowed me to focus on new business opportunities and maintain the needs of my existing clients.

The personal interaction with our Senior Staff Accountant has been an incredible experience. She is always flexible and makes herself available to solve all our accounting issues. Her services have been a huge part of my company’s early success. We hope to grow our business with the help and guidance of The A Team Consulting.

We are a small business -- just two of us -- and we needed bookkeeping help, including billing. We have found it with The A Team. They are responsive to our needs and at the ready to help. They coordinate really well with our accountant -- and really make it all easy. The A Team definitely helps our business run smoothly.

We needed help with organizing our financial records so that our tax accountant could prepare our tax return. We also need assistance with preparing a monthly cash flow so that we could better understand how to deal with our annual budget.

Our A Team Senior Staff Accountant is not only professional, but also patient, kind and available to discuss and resolve issues with me as they arise.

For the level of service they provide, The A Team’s fees are more than reasonable. I appreciate that I can depend on The A Team to efficiently and accurately handle my bookkeeping, so that I have the necessary time and financial data to run my business.

My books were disorganized and in a state of disarray.
Thanks to The A Team’s assistance, and outstanding performance, I now have more time to dedicate to other projects aimed at improving the Flushing Community. I highly recommend The A Team Consulting as they are consistently trustworthy, professional, and dependable.
