Overall Satisfaction with MIP Fund Accounting

MIP is our finance application. It ties in with our donor database, FR50. It is used for the entire organization for budgeting and reporting. It is working very well to support reporting for government grants, donor requirements, and board and leadership decision-making.
  • MIP does segments well. We can delineate between locations as well as programs to provide detailed reporting.
  • It is very simple to use and easy to learn.
  • We have alot of functionality with a small and simple chart of accounts.
  • For Canada, we would have loved to integrate a payroll module.
  • MIP does not calculate HST, so we have to do it manually.
  • MIP's report design function is not user-friendly for accountants.
  • It has been positive in that it is a much simpler application than our last one - Accpac.
  • We have more functionality in segmented reporting.

Yes

Would you buy MIP Fund Accounting again?

Yes

We are put on hold a lot, for a long time. My staff usually just give up and keep trying to figure out what we need. I've escalated my complaints a few times and now people seem to respond quicker.
If it had payroll for us and calculated HST, I would give it a solid 8. The reporting part is challenging, so we still do a lot manually which is frustrating. The trainer and implementation person, Bianca Dubay, she was really excellent. All your staff should be like her.
We have used FundRaising50 for years.
I think MIP is ideally suited for a charity or NP of our size - less than 200 employees. The limitations I mentioned are not too bad for us, but would be for a bigger organization.
