The specific terms of the transaction were not disclosed, but it is estimated that the firm brought in under $5 million in annual revenue. 

Founded more than 30 years ago by Brad and Dee Kain, K&R serves clients in several industries, including manufacturing, distribution, construction and e-commerce throughout the United States and Canada. The acquisition strengthens Net at Work’s presence in the ERP market. 

“We’re pleased to welcome K&R’s clients and employees to Net at Work,” said Alexander Solomon, co-founder and co-CEO of Net at Work, in a statement. “Brad and Dee have built a respected business grounded in trusted client relationships and deep ERP expertise. We look forward to building on that foundation, helping clients advance their business goals and supporting the continued growth of K&R’s talented team.” 

K&R employees will join Net at Work and continue serving their existing clients, now equipped with Net at Work’s other solutions to bolster their offerings. The founders will support the transition, working closely with both teams to maintain continuity of service and a smooth integration. 

This is the latest of many deals the company has completed this year. It has also bought value-added reseller Cloud 9 ERP Solutions, managed service provider Kinzit Technologies, managed service provider Network Computer Solutions, business tech consultancy Endeavor4’s Sage Intacct practice, managed service provider OnPair Technologies, tech advisory firm BHE Consulting, and advisory solutions provider Millennium Accounting. This follows a larger pattern of acquisitions over the last few years. 

During an August podcast interview with Accounting Today, Solomon noted that people are expecting much more from their technology partners than in the past, which specialist organizations might struggle to address alone. Long ago, the company saw the need to be more of an end-to-end solutions provider that covers many areas at once. He noted that, initially, Net at Work was just “an ERP shop for one ERP company. Then we became the largest safe shop globally. Then we became the largest Acumatica shop co-lead, then became a massive NetSuite shop.” From there, Net at Work added CRM solutions, HR and payroll solutions, managed services, cloud support and more. 

“I love it. It’s amazing. And the truth is, in many cases, it’s helped our M&A strategy because the folks that realize they have to provide that and don’t have the wherewithal to do it themselves or to partner properly,” he said in the interview, noting that this was the impetus for Net at Work’s partner program as well. “A lot of them are actually joining at work and becoming part of our family. So it’s amazing for so many reasons.”
