MIP Fund Accounting is well suited to any company that has multiple funding sources and expenses that they need to keep a close track on. In non-profit organizations we are looked at closely and it is important to be able to accurately show where our revenue comes from and where it is going. MIP Fund Accounting can handle that easily. It is not a system I would recommend to a small business as there are so many features that they would not need for the cost to them, at least not the versions we use.

This is more of an application for companies who are involved in mass bid submissions and do tenders for large scale construction works. In the scenarios of construction business the mass bidders can use this solution relly well. The calculations and reporting also helps with accurate estimations of tenders and bids

  • Ability to have multiple departments and consolidate into groups for reporting
  • Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable cannot be out of balance

Cons
Community Brands
  • Could be more streamlined
  • Could have a more basic version (it is a step up in complexity from quickbooks)
  • When trying to go back to a previous page/task (the 'done' or 'back' buttons) sometimes do go back too far, but sometimes they do. More consistency of how those buttons work would help.

  • The initial setup of the database can take a fair amount of time to set up, but once complete it can be used for years with only small additions to fit the users' needs.
  • I have been waiting for the schedule of values option to be complete to help aid in billing. it was supposed to be released, but I have not seen it rolled out yet.

I would give this software a high ranking for my use of it because I have a lot of experience setting it up properly. What I would like to learn more about this program is it's Drillpoint add on feature as this has a lot of potential to allow managers instant access to their financials and invoices when set up correctly

Usability

I have used this system for about 12 years now and I still learning how to use it. It always surprises me how there is another report to learn to achieve my data reporting goals. It is great to have a system that you have used long enough to feel comfortable with but also a system that allows you to learn new ways to report and enter data into the system

Reliability and Availability
Community Brands
I have rarely encountered any issues accessing MIP Fund Accounting over the years. On the rare occasions when availability was interrupted, the reasons were always found in-house when using the on-premises version. Since we have migrated to the MIP cloud, we have had no issues with availability. Any maintenance or updates are always communicated to us and are usually done outside of business hours.

Performance

We are able to generate reports in any format that we need to show the information that we have in a clear way that is easy for staff and our boards to read. We can easily run the reports agency-wide or break them down by fund or project, showing the details that we need.

I have not reached out to MIP for technical support; however, their website offers great help resources so I can solve an issue on my own. Another team member reached out to MIP for support and was helped quickly. The transition process took longer than expected due to a lag in communication.

There are no specifics on what happens if you make one choice or another to know which is the best selection. This is true for JVs and AP. In training we were not given specifics of what happens when one possibility is selected over another.

Denise O'Malley provided training for the HR module when we added it to our system. Denise also gave us a demo of the EWS module which we were able to see that it would not meet our needs. She was very kind about and understanding regarding the functions we needed with a time clock system.

Don't waste your time with MIP. There are plenty of other softwares out there that will do the job better. Do your homework. Get references from actual users. Make sure that what you choose will truly integrate. Make sure that there is local support. Get training. You will be glad that you passed this one by. Trust me.

This is the first time I've worked in the non-profit world. Accounting is somewhat different so I am very glad to be using a product designed specifically for non-profits. Many accounting processes are similar of course, but it is nice to have them tailored to fit the requirements of a non-profit organization.

Due to the fact that our company is typically "late to the show" when it comes to new technology and programs, we have been using an outdated technique for estimating, tracking, and organizing projects. Excel does not compare at all against Quick Bid. There are numerous amounts of benefits that Quick Bid has over Excel.

Scalability
Community Brands
The flexibility to create certain features are helpful and are designed to be easier on MIP Accounting Cloud. It has been easier than the MIP Accounting classic version. I may have not fully utilized the software to deploy across multiple departments other than generating revenue reports or expenses. As well as developing budget worksheets for our departments. Which are great as it is, but have not gone farther than that.

  • We don't use all the add-ons, but for the basic accounting that we need it for it is an excellent product. We have been using it since 2001. There are other products on the market, but this suits our needs completely.
  • It is easy to learn, with a lot of online support.
  • New staff learn to use the system quite easily.
