Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on what your business needs. Xero is a strong choice for businesses with straightforward financial accounting requirements. Accredo is better suited to businesses that also need to manage inventory, job costing, purchasing, or multiple locations — where having everything in one integrated system delivers real operational value. Many businesses run Xero for their accountant's needs and Accredo for their operations.

Infusion is a NZ-developed product with CRM and business management features. Accredo's strength lies in its depth of operational modules — particularly for inventory, manufacturing, job costing, and multi-location businesses — combined with a mature, well-supported NZ partner network. The right choice depends on where your biggest operational pain points sit.

Microsoft Business Essentials (part of the Dynamics 365 Business Central family) is a capable ERP platform, but implementation is typically more complex, more expensive, and heavily dependent on Microsoft partner expertise. Accredo is purpose-built for NZ SMEs, simpler to deploy, and supported by a nationwide network of local partners who understand the NZ market. For growing NZ businesses that don't need enterprise-scale complexity, Accredo often delivers more value at lower total cost.

Acumatica is a cloud-native ERP aimed at mid-market businesses, with strong functionality and a consumption-based pricing model. It is generally a more complex and costly platform to implement and run. Accredo is a well-proven, modular solution tailored to the NZ market — easier to get started with, backed by local support, and highly configurable without enterprise-level overhead.

Accredo is designed for New Zealand small-to-medium businesses that need more than basic accounting — particularly those in distribution, manufacturing, importing, contracting, and retail. If your business manages stock, runs jobs, handles complex purchasing, or operates across multiple locations, Accredo is worth a close look.

Yes. Accredo Cloud Hosting lets you run the full Accredo desktop application from a New Zealand-based cloud environment, with managed infrastructure, security, and backups included. You get the same powerful software, accessible from anywhere, without needing Accredo installed on your local device.

Accredo has over 30 years of continuous operation in the New Zealand market. Many customers have been using Accredo for more than 10 years. It is New Zealand-owned and developed, with an active nationwide partner network.

Yes. Accredo and its partner network have guided many businesses through transitions from a wide range of platforms. Accredo's guide to changing accounting software walks through what to consider and what's involved in making the move.

Accredo is available as a perpetual licence with a monthly subscription for updates and support — a different model to purely subscription-based tools. Because Accredo replaces multiple systems (accounting, inventory, job costing, purchasing, and more) in one platform, the total cost of ownership is often lower than building the same capability from several separate tools.

Every NZ business is different. The best way to know whether Accredo is right for yours is to talk to a local Accredo Partner who can show you how it works in practice — no obligation.
