Meet Andrew Pistorius our Acumatica Community Featured Member for November 2025. It’s great to have you as part of the Acumatica Community @APistorius. I’m Andrew Pistorius. I get to serve as the CFO for Mid-States Companies (beginning in 2020). We’re a vertically-integrated, family-owned and operated group of companies specializing in agricultural, industrial and commercial design, manufacturing and construction and have been an Acumatica customer since early 2022. Since implementing Acumatica, we’ve slowly transformed the way we operate the businesses to something that’s more date, process and systems based. One of the things that’s most exciting about the platform is that there’s always opportunity to optimize and automate.Prior to my time at Mid-States, I worked in both the manufacturing and construction industry for Fortune 500 companies. In my time there, I learned a lot about ERPs, reporting, data and how real things are built (power plants, runways, grain terminals, wind turbines, roads, bridges).My wife and I have been married for 16 years and have 4 kids (ranging in age from 12 to 4). We live in central Iowa and enjoy traveling, all things Iowa State University and playing Hole Out (a golf-based yard game I invented!).
