About Us
Anacrusis provides IT and systems support across a wide range of business environments, with a focus on reliability, clarity, and continuity.
We focus on understanding how your business operates day to day, and on the systems that matter most. From that foundation, we provide practical solutions that fit how you work and hold up over time.
Accounting and Payroll Software
We provide advice on accounting and payroll systems that are appropriate to your business, both now and over time. Our experience spans a wide range of environments, from smaller cloud-based solutions to fully featured on-premises and hosted mid-market solutions.
Our involvement does not end at implemention. Once the system is installed, we provide the training and ongoing support to ensure it continues to suit the way your business operates as it grows and changes.
As an independent consultant, Anacrusis can recommend, supply, and support a range of options including:
ACCREDO
Accredo is proven accounting and business management software designed in New Zealand for growing New Zealand small and medium enterprises. From job costing through to general ledger, Accredo has everything local companies need and has extensive customisation options to be tailored to fit your business. Andrew has been an Accredo QSP since 1994.
TRADIE ON THE MOVE
Tradie on the Move started as a cloud-based job scheduling and time entry system designed specifically for Accredo, but has grown far beyond that, adding options that all tradies need such as health and safety and online purchase ordering.
Anacrusis has been involved with Tradie since is inception.
XERO
Xero is pure cloud-based accounting software for small business that opens up a world of opportunities to increase efficiency and streamline the way you manage your business.
PAYROLL
Payroll is one of the most complex aspects of the business – balancing legislative requirements with the needs of your business and your team. It is easy to get wrong. Anacrusis has experience with the legislative requirements, and partners with Crystal Payroll, MYOB IMS, MYOB Payroll and Xero Payroll.
MYOB
Anacrusis has been supporting MYOB since the 1990s, and continues to do so where the platform continues to be a good fit. We can also assist businesses who are reassessing their systems and considering their options
Hardware, Networking and Infrastructure
There are many hardware, networking, and infrastructure options available, and choosing the right fit can be challenging. We keep up to date with changes in products, platforms, and vendor direction, and take those into account when designing and supporting systems for our clients.
Anacrusis works with a small number of vendors where we have established relationships or specific partnership agreements. This includes HP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, WatchGuard, and Microsoft. Working with vendors we know well allows us to deliver infrastructure that is reliable, supportable, and appropriate to each environment.
Communications – Fibre and Voice
Anacrusis provides business-grade fibre and voice services as part of a broader approach to systems and infrastructure. Our communications services are delivered through a New Zealand-based wholesaler we trust, and are selected to be reliable, supportable, and appropriate to each environment.
We design, supply, and support business fibre connectivity and IP voice services, including on‑premises and cloud‑based PBXs, handsets, and related services. This allows voice and data services to be implemented and supported together, as part of the wider network and systems environment, without the need to involve separate providers.
Cloud and Hosting
Cloud and hosted infrastructure are now a normal part of most business environments, but there are still choices to be made about where systems run and how they are supported. We focus on placing systems in environments that make sense for the application and your business, and that will stand up long term.
Anacrusis is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider and provides services across Microsoft 365 and Azure, alongside fully managed application and virtual machine hosting. We also host Accredo environments at scale, selecting on-premises, hosted, or hybrid models based on how the system is used, rather than defaulting to a single approach.
We can assist with planning, migration, and ongoing management, ensuring hosted systems are reliable, secure, and well supported over time.
