Rightworks

Rightworks is a cloud hosting and managed IT platform built for accounting firms. It hosts desktop tax and accounting applications — Lacerte, ProSeries, Drake, UltraTax, QuickBooks Desktop — in a managed cloud environment, allowing staff to work remotely on any device.

Accounting firms use Rightworks for secure application hosting, built-in cybersecurity protections, and managed IT services. The provider consolidates hosting, security monitoring, and IT management into one relationship, reducing the number of technology vendors a firm needs to manage. SOC-certified data centres and compliance-focused security features address the regulatory requirements accounting firms face.

Rightworks is best suited for US accounting firms that need managed cloud hosting for desktop applications and want IT management support from a provider that understands accounting firm operations. It competes with Cetrom and Verito in the accounting-specific cloud hosting space.
