What RKL does

RKL LLP is a Pennsylvania-headquartered advisory firm providing tax, accounting, assurance, consulting, technology implementation, outsourced back-office, and wealth management services to middle-market and enterprise clients. With nearly 700 professionals across seven offices in Lancaster, York, Reading, the Capital Region, Exton, Allentown, and Chambersburg, the firm serves organizations in 12 industry verticals including manufacturing and distribution, senior living, franchises, financial services, faith-based organizations, creative agencies, nonprofit, private equity, real estate, healthcare practices, government, and construction. Service delivery is organized around core practice areas plus three wholly-owned subsidiaries: RKL eSolutions (IT consulting and ERP/healthcare tech implementation), RKL Virtual Management Solutions (outsourced accounting, HR, and payroll), and RKL Wealth Management LLC (investment advisory and family office services).

RKL's technology stack is built around third-party enterprise platforms rather than proprietary software. RKL eSolutions deploys Sage X3 and Sage Intacct for manufacturing/distribution and senior living clients, holds official partner status with PointClickCare (a platform used by 21,000+ senior care facilities), and announced an integrated PointClickCare–Sage Intacct solution in April 2026. RKL Virtual Management Solutions powers its HR & Payroll offering with isolved and integrates BILL Spend & Expense and BILL Divvy for spend management. Client-facing interaction occurs through the Thomson Reuters NetClient CS portal, with IS Assurance offerings including SOC 1/SOC 2 reporting, cybersecurity assessments, IT audits, and fractional CISO services. The technology moat lies in certified implementation expertise and integration IP, not in owned IP.

The firm earns revenue primarily through professional services fees on engagement scope, supplemented by managed-services revenue from RKL Virtual (outsourced accounting/HR/payroll) and wealth management fees (advisory and AUM-based). Go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales anchored in seven Pennsylvania offices, with event-based demand generation through leadership forums in cybersecurity and senior living. NPS of 82.8 (vs. industry average of 38), four consecutive Best of Accounting Awards, and three consecutive USA TODAY Most Recommended Tax Firm recognitions indicate strong client retention and a stable, services-based revenue model. The ownership structure is partnership-based with no disclosed external PE/VC, and Ed Monborne leads as CEO with Rachel Sargent as COO.
