The specialist who scopes it is on your cutover call
Accred is a US-based team of senior Microsoft 365 engineers. Over 11 years we have delivered 475+ client projects, completed 2,000+ migration workstreams, and moved 210,000+ users, mostly fixed-scope migrations, security hardening, and identity work.
Senior specialists, no handoffs
The engineer who runs your discovery is on your cutover call. No account managers in the middle and no hand-off to a different team after the sale.
Pricing that fits the work
Fixed fee for defined projects, hourly or a prepaid block of hours for open-ended work, a monthly retainer for ongoing admin, or ad-hoc help when something breaks. Scope is agreed in writing before we start.
US-based, never offshored
Every consultant is US-based. Your admin accounts, mail, and files are never handed to an offshore team, and we work in your time zone.
