Two days together. ✅ One stronger team. 💪

At this year’s RKL Virtual annual team meeting, our team came together to reconnect, learn from one another and invest in the relationships that help us serve clients well every day.

We were grateful to spend time with Katie Sandoe, whose session helped us explore the role trust and psychological safety play in building a healthy team culture and navigating hard conversations with greater clarity and care.

We also spent time with firm leaders discussing how to better connect the dots across unified client teams — because a stronger team experience helps create a stronger client experience, too.

Time together like this matters, and we’re proud of the culture we’re continuing to build at RKL Virtual!

Running a franchise means managing more than day-to-day operations. Workforce challenges, compliance demands and financial complexity can all grow quickly as your business scales.

In fact, 37% of franchisor executives identified the availability, quality and cost of labor as their top business challenge.

That’s one reason many franchise owners are reevaluating how they manage HR, payroll and financial operations across locations.

Our latest guide, What’s Next for Franchises: How to Leverage Integrated Outsourcing to Empower Growth, explores how integrated outsourcing can help franchise organizations:
🌟improve visibility
🌟reduce administrative burden
🌟strengthen compliance
🌟support growth with greater confidence

We had so much fun at RKL Day at the Park 2026. 🌟 It was a great opportunity for the RKL Virtual team to step away from the day-to-day, connect in person and enjoy an afternoon of fun together. We’re grateful for moments like these that reflect the collaborative, people-first culture behind our team.

Our offices are closed today in honor of Memorial Day. Thank you to all who serve or have served!
