Overall Satisfaction with MIP Fund Accounting

MIP Fund Accounting is used for daily cash management activities including Payroll, Bank Reconciliations, General Ledger, Accounts Payable. I do not know that I can actually name a business "problem" that the software addresses per se, as use it for day-to-day accounting activities. I really like many aspects of MIP, but also feel, as someone coming from other accounting software which I taught myself to use, MIP is somewhat user "un"friendly. I feel that it is difficult to learn and seems that it could be more user friendly without so many steps to go thru to attain a goal of cash management for a non-profit!
  • Easy to obtain check register for select periods
  • Easy to do bank reconciliations
  • Easy to log in for remote work, for anywhere I need to access it from!
  • I feel that there are too many ways to pull necessary reports
  • I feel that it would be easier to pull reports that are somewhat more streamlined or easier to edit
  • I would love to be able to pull an "audit trail" as I have with past software that was easy to pull and easy to obtain info froml
  • I do not like that the software has to have so much printing information set up to save paper when pulling reports
  • I really cannot name a time where it has actually had a positive or a negative impact on our overall business objectives. It seems to do what we need it to and thankfully we have a somewhat "seasoned" user along with myself!
It has impacted our ability by the setup of each fund as its own in the software, thus allowing us to pull for a specific year (grant) for a specific fund.
Because we have had the system in place for well over 10 years. Our staff in finance is limited which restricts our time for setup and start up of new software. We plan to stay with MIP as long as we can continue to afford it! Hopefully, there are not a lot of governmental funding cuts in the grants that we use to assist our clientele and to pay agency related expenditures.

Would you buy MIP Fund Accounting again?

Yes

I do like the check register, it is easy to access. It is also easy to access information for bank reconciliations but some entries are difficult and I have had ongoing issues with duplicated entries. Those situations coming at times when I am not really sure how I have duplicated an entry and they are somewhat intimidating. It is also somewhat difficult to delete or void erroneous entries or those that need to be otherwise corrected. I do understand that it is accounting software, but feel again that it could be a little bit more user friendly, at least from a fairly "new" user's standpoint!
