What Swizznet does

Swizznet, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Seattle, is a private managed application-hosting provider that delivers cloud-hosted editions of accounting, CRM, and tax software (QuickBooks Desktop/Online, Sage, GoldMine, and major tax packages) alongside managed IT, managed security, and regulatory compliance services. The technology stack centers on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with layered capabilities including Zero Trust, SASE, multifactor authentication, end-device protection, backup, and the VisoryOne unified 24/7 support platform that integrates hosting, security, and compliance under a single branded experience (Obsessive Support®). Swizznet operates under the Visory brand and holds licensing/integration partnerships with Intuit, Sage, Microsoft, KnowBe4, SentinelOne, and Liscio to deliver its hosted stack. The business sells primarily to regulated small and mid-market clients in wealth management (SEC/FINRA), accounting (IRS 4557, FTC Safeguards Rule), and construction, with a quote-based subscription and managed-services pricing model that includes application hosting, managed infrastructure, cybersecurity, and compliance enforcement as recurring and project-based revenue streams. Distribution is enterprise field sales with inside-sales phone engagement and a self-service application portal (apps.swizznet.com), supported by thought-leadership content, webinars, whitepapers, and industry events. Recognition includes MSP500 (2022, 2023), FPADFW (2022), Accounting Today Top 100 (2021), and CIOReview Most Promising Solutions (2021); the company acquired RightSize Solutions on November 6, 2020, expanding its hosted-services footprint.
