ERP Strategic Advisory
ERP Advocacy for Companies Who’ve Outgrown the Duct Tape
Avoid costly mistakes. Prevent painful rollouts. Scale with confidence.
What We Do
Accipiter ERP Advisory is a boutique consulting firm that helps growth-stage manufacturers, distributors, and product-based businesses navigate one of the highest-stakes decisions they’ll ever make: choosing and implementing the right ERP system.
Led by Michael Wakefield, a Certified NetSuite ERP Consultant, we act as a translator, advisor, and advocate. So your ERP investment aligns with your strategy and actually works for your team.
Most growing businesses can’t afford to get ERP wrong.
Choose wrong and you don’t just waste budget.
You lose time, momentum, and trust inside your team.
That’s where Accipiter comes in.
We help mid-sized companies make confident, vendor-neutral ERP decisions, before, during, and after implementation.
No software to sell. No buzzwords to navigate.
Just strategic clarity from someone who’s been in the room with hundreds of businesses in various industries on both sides of the table

- You're scaling beyond QuickBooks and spreadsheets.
- Your ERP software doesn’t match your actual processes.
- You don’t trust vendor sales reps to guide the right decision.
- Your last implementation went sideways (or nearly did.)
- You need a clear, objective path forward now.
Then you're in the right place

Start with a Strategic Scan
A 2-week diagnostic that cuts through the noise and gives you a clear picture of what’s working, what’s not, and where to go next.
Make the Right ERP Decision
We guide you through NetSuite vendor shortlisting, selection, and negotiation, without pushing any platform.
Implement with Confidence
We stay with you through rollout, helping vendors stay accountable and your team stay focused.
Fix a Failing ERP Project
When your ERP implementation is going off the rails, every week counts. We step in fast to diagnose the issues, reset the plan, and get your project back on track—before budget, timelines, and morale are beyond repair.
