Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 14 days, no credit card required. You'll get full access to every Rio feature on whichever plan you select.

Do I keep my existing accountant?

Absolutely. Rio sits between your business and your accountant, cutting their workload while keeping the same relationship. If you don't have one, we can introduce you to vetted partners.

How long does onboarding take?

Most businesses are live within an afternoon. Multi-entity setups take 3–5 days with a dedicated success manager.

Rio is GDPR and ISO 27001 aligned. Documents are encrypted at rest, stored for 10 years, and access is permissioned by role.
