Overall Satisfaction with Abila MIP Fund Accounting

Our organization uses MIP to handle its financial accounting needs. The two accounting department staff enter transactions, and five executives have read-only access to reports.
  • We generate financial statements for the Board directly from MIP without having to manipulate them in Excel.
  • It's easy to track accounts payable vendor history.
  • We'd appreciate more flexibility in reporting.
  • We'd appreciate better drill-down capability.
  • The look of the user interface is outdated. While not a critical functionality issue, it does not inspire an enthusiastic user attitude and makes it more challenging for read-only non-accountants.
  • Budgeting is clunky.
  • We need to do accounting, and it does accounting.
We use separate funds for unrestricted, temporarily restricted, and endowment. MIP handles it well.
MIP is more robust than QuickBooks for an organization our size.
It's too complicated and expensive for small non-profits, which would be better served by QuickBooks. It's less expensive than some other larger-system non-profit accounting software but gets the job done. The challenge for a user is to strike the appropriate balance for your organization of paying the fees for a marginally useful module (such as AR or Fixed Assets) vs. the benefit gained by not having to use Excel as a supplement.
