signaling a move to broaden its industry footprint, right networks, a leader in cloud-enabled technology solutions for accounting firms and small businesses, has acquired rootworks, which provides accounting firms with tools, resources, and guidance to create a high-performing, proactive modern firm.

rootworks will continue to operate as an independent line of business within right networks with founder darren root serving as rootworks general manager and right networks vice president of market strategy, according to the company announcement.

“while right networks is a leading technology supplier to the accounting profession, we recognize that our firm customers need more than technology to succeed in the face of the profession’s digital transformation,” says joel hughes, ceo of right networks, which counts over 5,000 accounting firms and 180,000 users as clients. “firms need the business context, the ‘why and how,’ in order to adapt and move forward. rootworks has pioneered and perfected a repeatable business model for ‘the modern firm,’ supported by education and dedicated coaching via a technology platform and peer community that fosters success. firms owners need help. right networks with rootworks can deliver the level of help they require.”
