Overall Satisfaction with Abila MIP Fund Accounting

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use MIP Fund Accounting as our accounting software. We also use the payroll and marketing programs. We don't use the budgeting part. I don't have any problems with the accounting software but it could be a little more user friendly. Some of the reporting and transactions are difficult to use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Financial Reports are really good.
A/P is fairly easy to process
Customer service is good

Cons

I would like for name fields to be set up differently. Last name and first name in a separate field. Sorting is impossible when the entire name is in one field.
Recurring entries are difficult to use.
Writing a one time check is difficult.

Return on Investment

It has expanded our reporting capabilities
Different account number combinations have improved our expense and revenue tracking

Alternatives Considered

I was not part of the selection process. MIP was implemented a few months before I came to work here

Other Software Used

Microsoft Access

Likelihood to Recommend

If my company utilized everything we had, it would probably work much better for us. We are a non-profit and we need to correlate the fundraising side with the accounting side of the software. Repetative data entry could be greatly diminished. We are getting MIP time clocks soon. This should be great for our payroll processing.

MIP Fund Accounting Feature Ratings

Using Abila MIP

Usability

Overall MIP works well. There are things that I wish were different but no major complaints. I haven't used other non-profit software so I really don't have anything to compare to but the basic accounting functions are good.

Easy Tasks

Copying journal vouchers from month to month is easy and efficient.
Printing financial statements is a breeze. Being able to filter the statements by departments is great!
The check writing process is easy.

Difficult Tasks

Sorting reports by name is difficult. I wish there were two columns, last name and first name
Recurring accounts payable doesn't allow you to change the invoice number. We can not use it.
Our billing process is very cumbersome but it is partly our fault because of the way we set it up.

Usability Pros and Cons
