The acquisition of K&R Consulting Group expands Net at Work’s presence in the market for Sage and Acumatica ERP application solutions and advisory services.
Net at Work’s 2026 acquisition spree goes on, today announcing the acquisition of K&R Consulting Group, a leading provider of Sage Software and Acumatica ERP application solutions and business advisory services.
The acquisition expands the company’s overall footprint in the ERP (enterprise resource planning) application space and, more specifically, bolsters the company’s practices around Sage and Acumatica software.
The K&R deal is the eighth acquisition this year for New York-based Net at Work, a fast-growing SMB technology advisor, application solution provider and MSP. The company announced its last acquisition, Cloud 9 ERP Solutions, in early October in a move that expanded its presence in the market for Acumatica application services and support.

K&R Consulting Group, headquartered in Johnston, Iowa, was founded more than 30 years ago by Brad Kain (CEO) and Dee Kain (vice president and administrator) and serves clients in a number of industries including manufacturing, distribution, construction and e-commerce throughout the U.S. and Canada.
In an announcement of the acquisition Net at Work said the acquisition “builds on K&R’s commitment to personalized service” while providing its clients with access to Net at Work’s “broader technology portfolio and specialized expertise,” as well as the company’s managed services and AI capabilities.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
“We’re pleased to welcome K&R’s clients and employees to Net at Work,” said Alexander Solomon, Net at Work co-CEO and co-founder, 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, Net at Work said. Brad and Dee Kain will support the transition, working with both teams to “maintain continuity of service and a smooth integration.”
“Choosing the right partner for our clients and employees was our highest priority,” Brad Kain said in the announcement of the acquisition. “Net at Work’s ERP expertise, comprehensive technology capabilities and investment in AI will give our clients additional resources to strengthen and grow their businesses. Equally important, its commitment to employee development will create new opportunities for our team.”
Altogether, Net at Work has made 11 acquisitions since July 1, 2025. Prior to its Cloud 9 purchase, the company bought Kinzit Technologies in August to expand its managed services expertise and cybersecurity offerings. Before that the company acquired Sage Software partner Millennium Accounting Solutions in June, expanding its presence in the Sage accounting and financial software and services space.
Acquisitions earlier this year included Endeavor4, a Sage Intacct application service provider; Managed services provider OnPar Technologies; ERP application solution provider BHE Consulting; and Network Computer Solutions, a Kansas-based provider of managed services throughout the Midwestern U.S.
Net at Work was No. 221 on the CRN 2026 Solution Provider 500 and appeared on the CRN 2026 Managed Service Provider 500 list.
