In 1902, Raskob accompanied Pierre du Pont to Wilmington after du Pont's unexpected succession to leadership of the family business following the death of company president Eugene du Pont. Now private secretary to the new treasurer of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, Raskob assisted with the financial and organizational reorganizations and powder industry consolidation that consumed much of Pierre's efforts in his first few years at the new company.

In 1904, Raskob became Pierre du Pont's assistant in du Pont's new position as treasurer of the newly formed E.I. du Pont de Nemours Powder Co.
