The story behind the brand

Rootworks was created by an accounting firm owner for accounting firm owners—with the focused goal of helping owners overcome common pain points and redefine their business model for the modern age.

Having run a successful firm for more than 30 years, Rootworks co-founder Darren Root, along with an A-list team, created the blueprint for The Modern Firm® and have been guiding firms down the path to transformation for well over a decade.

Rootworks is a one-of-a-kind firm-improvement organization dedicated exclusively to the accounting profession. Rootworks was created on the ideal that owners can build the firm they deserve—one that operates at peak efficiency, supports a healthy culture, removes the pain of tax season and is a revenue-generating machine.

We accomplish this by offering our members a comprehensive library of tools and resources and the expertise and ongoing support required to transform their firms. With 1,000 firms strong and growing, Rootworks is helping advance the profession—one firm at a time.

James Buss
Rootworks saved my firm. By implementing suggestions from Darren Root and his team, as well as following the Rootworks modern firm strategy, I’ve gone from not being sure my firm was going to make it, to great success and stability. My firm wouldn’t be flourishing like it is if it weren't for the procedures I’ve learned and put in place from Rootworks.
