Right Networks, an accounting-centered cloud solutions provider, announced it has changed its name to Rightworks and has launched new products to mark the occasion.
The new Rightworks brings together Right Networks, Rootworks and Transaction Pro under one brand, demonstrating its ability to offer technology, thought leadership and community engagement tools in one place. The new name comes from what the company’s portfolio of solutions is built to do for accounting firms and professionals, with the idea being it’s the “right” solution that “works” for you.
“Accounting firms are facing more challenges than ever: overwhelming technology choices, staffing shortages and burnout, and heightened client expectations,” said Rightworks CEO Joel Hughes in a statement. “Rightworks is creating a frictionless, unified experience for accounting firms and fully integrating our industry-leading capabilities into a seamless, single pane of glass. By simplifying the complexity, our customers can operate their practices from one place, efficiently connect with their clients, and have the resources and community support to build modern and thriving practices.”
In addition to the rebrand, Rightworks also announced the release of a new product with new functionaity: Rightworks OneSpace, described as an intelligent cloud platform that unifies accounting and tax applications in order to simplify business operations and provide security. The version for accounting firms offers the ability to:
- Use one platform for both desktop and cloud-based accounting tools, like QuickBooks, Xero and other leading accounting and tax applications;
- Access and share files with clients from anywhere, anytime;
- Use OneSpace to deliver an ultra-secure environment;
- Use Rightworks Connect, its cloud-based suite of client engagement and business performance solutions included in OneSpace; and
- Access a U.S.-based 24/7 support team.
The company also announced the release of Rightworks Academy, which is a rebrand of Rootworks that will continue to evolve. Rightworks Academy is a community for firm optimization and growth where accounting firms can access proprietary firm benchmarking, actionable guidance and expert training, events, playbooks, a resource library and a community of like-minded firm leaders.
Finally, Rightworks announced the launch of The Modern Firm podcast, co-hosted by chief strategist Darren Root and culture and workforce advisor John Mitchell. The podcast delves into the four “smart” strategies of modern firms, and features interviews with firm owners and leaders as they address common challenges and identify solutions to support their modern journey. The Modern Firm podcast will be available for streaming beginning Monday, October 23 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Google Podcasts.
A recent nationwide Rightworks survey showed the top three challenges for firms when moving to the cloud are a lack of technical expertise and resources, budget and a lack of understanding choices. Under the unified brand, the company intends to deliver everything accounting firms and professionals need to navigate the complexities of running a successful business.
