We moved from quickbooks due to the size of our staff growing beyond its capabilities. I was not actively involved in the selection process but my understanding is that this was the best price for services offered of the systems considered.

MIP is Flexible and Powerful.

I've utilized other ERP accounting software like Infor, NetSuite, and MS Dynamics, to name a few. MIP Fund Accounting offers flexibility and room for growth while not being overly heavy on your team to maintain it. And, we're now learning more about the add-on's and more advanced capabilities to leverage with our team.

MIP is a great fund-accounting software program.

We have had MIP since before I came to work at this organization. I had only used QuickBooks before I came to work here, but it was a very easy transition. I am not sure about any other fund accounting software on the market to compare MIP software to.

MIP Fund works well such as one competitor I have used before. Adapting to other online program software systems is the only thing I can think of that MIP could do better. But primarily as a non-profit with little time on hand and always overworked, a simpler software program goes a long way. If this program can provide this accounting software to be easier, that would be great!

While I feel Sage Intacct is a good software, it does not suite the needs of the organization the way MIP does. As I had mentioned, the Knowledgebase that MIP Fund Accounting has is an incredible tool that makes it so much easier for us to find solutions and to get the help we need to find or fix any issues we have. I just don't feel Sage has what we need to get things done in the manner we like.

Our county still has EDEN - we use MIP for our grant and contract tracking because MIP is much more flexible to track the Data and run reports from. EDEN is impossible to do the kind of tracking that we need to track and bill our grants and contracts.

MIP Fund Accounting is the only financial software program that I have used for the purpose of consolidating financial data, and it seems to perform that function with a minimal learning curve. My employer is a non-profit entity. MIP Fund Accounting is built to function for non-profit businesses and is useful to multiple departments throughout my company.

I prefer MIP to the other software I have been exposed to based on cost, ease of use, and functionality. I have tried Blackbaud about 14 years ago and was not impressed as it was hard to use and not intuitive at all. As for quickbooks, I have not used that program in mane years either and do not know if it can properly track grants and different departments and locations easily or not.

We are non-profit organization. We provide housing for underserved people and social services for homeless population with mental illnesses. We have a few different programs, specifically for properties that belong to the organization. It is extremely important that we can identify the funds for different programs, and the program itself and the source. MIP gives such possibility.

Highly recommend

MIP Fund Accounting was highly recommended by our funding source, as other Workforce Development councils (10 out of 12) in our state used it. We did get other bids for procurement purposes, but MIP was the clear choice for us.

MIP Fund Accounting is one of the best accounting system out there and provides a very user friendly solution to organizations' needs. MIP is also flexible enough to adapt to different organization structures with different funding portfolios. The variety of modules allow for the users to scale up or down as organizations expand or contract.
