  • Extensive Budget Controls: MIP gives you the power to manage an unlimited number of budgets. Easily review budgeted amounts, dollars spent, committed funds, and available budget. Produce comparative statements for your management staff and board of directors illustrating the budget to actual position for your programs, grants, departments, and other cost centers. Estimate future periods and calculate forecasted financial position, including analyzing “what-if” scenarios for better decision making.
  • Self-Balancing, Flexible Chart of Accounts: The table-driven chart of accounts structure in MIP Fund Accounting is uniquely valuable to nonprofits and governments. By customizing your chart of accounts, you eliminate the need to manually enter each possible string of account combinations for every new source of funding. This saves time each time you start a new project. You can record funds, grants, programs, contributors, and more with an unlimited number of segments.
  • Access and Control: Maintain data access with built-in options ranging from role-based security to account-level security. You can set security limits, allowing specific departments or users, such as temporary employees, to see only the dashboards and data pertinent to their duties. Reduce time spent on pulling reports for senior management. Give your board members, directors, and key executives direct access to the financial reporting, graphs, and data they need with the report-only Executive View licensing option.
  • Build Your Own System: This system’s modular structure gives organizations the opportunity to purchase only the functional areas they require. As your organization develops, adding specialized modules can address the needs that come with expansion and growth. And MIP Fund Accounting maintains the integrity of existing data any time additional modules are installed, giving you a solid foundation for financial accountability.
