"Abila MIP Fund Accounting is not just a software, it is a tool. "

5/5

What do you like best about MIP Fund Accounting?

I like the versatility of the product. Depending on the size of the business, Abila MIP Fund Accounting offers many different modules that service the needs of small, medium, and large size companies. You can purchase these modules at your own pace and Abila has many qualified workers that assist in helping your company decide what is the best way to build your accounting system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MIP Fund Accounting?

I dislike that certain segments cannot be altered in Abila MIP Fund Accounting once a database has been created. For example, if your company was previously setup by an accountant who used only a three digit fund code when creating the database, you will always be limited to the decision of that accountant for that database. Only creating a new database will allow you to add a fourth digit. However, just like any other problem that I may have experienced with Abila MIP Fund Accounting, the problem can be fixed and Abila is there to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MIP Fund Accounting:

There are sometimes third parties involved with marketing Abila products. I prefer speaking directly with Abila. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MIP Fund Accounting solving and how is that benefiting you?

The current goal within my department for my company is the improvement of the accounting period close and the streamlining of data entry. Originally, my company would produce financials manually in excel by cutting and pasting. By purchasing Abila MIP Fund Accounting Drillpoint module, I was able to link my accounting system directly to excel reducing my financial statement preparation time from four hours to fifteen minutes. Also, Abila offers many training classes that enabled me to better understand the importing and exporting of data into the accounting system. My company is importing and exporting more and more data every month which is increasing accuracy and timeliness within the department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Abila MIP provided the financial visibility our board has been demanding for years. "

5/5

What do you like best about MIP Fund Accounting?

The software features a table driven chart of account that enables organizations like us to design our account segmentation so we can track our financials in multiple dimensions. It has a great deal of security features and options to assist in the segregation of duties, which can be difficult for smaller organizations like us. It's user interface is very intuitive and has a lot of safeguards to prevent data entry errors. You also only have to purchase the modules you need so it fit my budget too.

What do you dislike about MIP Fund Accounting?

I wish the reporting module had more modifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MIP Fund Accounting:

If you are working in nonprofit accounting you should absolutely make the switch to Abila MIP. There is nothing else out there for the nonprofit CFO like this. Every stakeholder has been satisfied by our switch from our board to our accountants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MIP Fund Accounting solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a problem constructing a detailed budget and then tracking it by our programs, this led to inaccurate forecasting and deficits. After implementing Abila MIP we gained a tremendous amount of visibility and were able to hold ourselves more accountable. The investment in Abila MIP came back tenfold. In the first year alone we reduced our audit fees more than 30% and cut the budget deficit in half. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Using Abila MIP Has Been Easy to Obtain Information Our Company Needs"

5/5

What do you like best about MIP Fund Accounting?

I like best the ability to create ad hoc reports to filter and set criteria in order to obtain desired information in reports. Easy to view information via screen view, and the print to Excel and pdf options are so valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MIP Fund Accounting?

I do not like that I was unable to track the hundreds of grants that my company issues to subawardees in Abila MIP. We had to find a workaround using the budgeting module in an attempt to track the subawards grant amounts and their payments and remaining balances. It is not the ideal setup. Would love to see Abila MIP set up a module specific to tracking voluminous awards to our subgrantees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MIP Fund Accounting:

I recommend Abila MIP for ease of use, user-friendly solution, and ability to create and customize adhoc reports. You can track expenses by funding source just by setting up unique grant codes or unit codes in Abila MIP. A optimal choice for nonprofits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MIP Fund Accounting solving and how is that benefiting you?

Benefits realized include solving the problem of how to track expenses by different funding source. We are also beginning to use the software for cost pools and distributions to meet our indirect cost rate requirements. Recently, we have begun to explore the process of implementing use of the purchasing and AR billing modules. I am excited about this prospect as I have read the details of what Abila MIP offers in these two modules and am ready to use these electronic solutions for our company so that we can get away from the paper, Excel solutions we've used for so long.

"Works for us"

4/5

What do you like best about MIP Fund Accounting?

MIP is flexible enough so that both our accountant and me (a non-accountant) can both get the functionally we need. I find the Accounts Payable module very simple to use, so the process from entering an invoice to printing the check is quick and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MIP Fund Accounting?

Unlike other Abila products (like FR50), I found it slightly harder to learn. I also wish the reports had more modifications. Importing data requires a definition file, which is not intuitive to modify. It takes trial and error, but once it is in place it works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering MIP Fund Accounting:

Any one needing software to handle NFP restrictions, grants and detailed reporting will be very happy switching to MIP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is MIP Fund Accounting solving and how is that benefiting you?

I took over a NFP using Quickbooks and while the data entry in Quickbooks is easy, getting NFP reports out is very time consuming and manual. I took them into MIP, was able to set up standard monthly and annual reports which freed me to spend my time on more value added activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
