OUR SOLUTIONS
The Financial Tools Your Organization
Actually Needs
Nonprofit financial management is more complex than commercial accounting tools are built to handle. MIP Accounting covers the full range of fund accounting, compliance, and reporting requirements that nonprofits, associations, and government organizations face, in one purpose-built platform.
Fund Accounting
MIP Accounting is built around fund accounting structures, so your chart of accounts, transactions, and reports align with how nonprofits and government organizations manage money. Track an unlimited number of fund, grant, program, or project without workarounds or spreadsheet bridges. Track every fund. Follow every dollar.
- Unlimited chart of accounts built for nonprofits
- Transaction tracking by fund, program, and grant simultaneously
- Financial reporting that matches nonprofit compliance requirements
Grant Management
Manage grant budgets, track allowable expenses, and generate funder reports from within the software—no separate spreadsheet required. Grant data lives alongside your general accounting, so you always have a current picture of how grant funds are being used.
- Grant budget tracking connected to actuals in real time
- Allowable expense monitoring to stay within funder requirements
- Funder-ready reports generated directly from the system
Financial Reporting
Generate the financial statements your organization actually needs: statement of functional expenses, budget-versus-actual by fund, balance sheet by program, and more. On-demand dashboards give on-demand access to the figures stakeholders wants to see:
- Pre-built nonprofit financial statement templates
- Budget-versus-actual reporting across funds and programs
- Exportable formats for auditors, boards, and funders
Budgeting and Forecasting
Build and track budgets by fund, program, and grant inside MIP Accounting. Real-time budget-versus-actual visibility means your team spots variances before they become problems, not after the period closes.
- Multi-fund budget creation and tracking in one system
- Real-time variance analysis without spreadsheet exports
- Scenario planning tools for annual budget cycles
Workflow Automations and Control
Automate routine workflows—approvals, allocations, and recurring entries—and maintain a full audit trail of every action in the system. Your team spends less time on data entry and your auditors spend less time on fieldwork.
- Automated approval workflows for purchases and invoices
- Internal controls to ensure account-level access separation
- View-only licenses for auditors and stakeholders you approve

FAQ
Everything you need to know about getting started with accounting software.
MIP Accounting is built specifically for nonprofit and governmental fund accounting. It natively handles fund-based chart of accounts structures, grant management, functional expense reporting, and the compliance requirements unique to nonprofits, without requiring extensive customization of a commercial tool.
Yes, grant budgets, allowable expenses, and funder reporting requirements live in the same system rather than a separate spreadsheet, so a grant’s financial status is always current without a manual reconciliation step.
Yes, there’s no cap on the number of funds, grants, programs, or projects tracked, and each keeps its own transaction history rather than being combined into a single general ledger the way QuickBooks would.
Yes, government organizations have their own compliance and audit-trail requirements, which is why this is positioned as accounting software for governments as well as nonprofits and associations, not a nonprofit-only product adapted after the fact.
Yes, including GiveSmart, YourMembership AMS, NetForum AMS, and Nimble AMS, so donation, dues, and event revenue flow in automatically instead of requiring manual re-entry from a separate platform.
It splits by size and complexity: smaller nonprofits with simple books often get by with general small-business tools like QuickBooks, while organizations managing multiple funding sources and compliance requirements move to purpose-built fund accounting software once spreadsheet workarounds for tracking funds separately stop scaling.
A few nonprofit-focused platforms offer free or discounted tiers, but usually only for very small organizations with limited transaction volume and no need for fund-level reporting. This platform doesn’t have a free tier, pricing scales with your organization’s size, so request a demo for a quote specific to switching from QuickBooks.
QuickBooks Online doesn’t have one, nonprofits use the standard Plus or Advanced plans and set up fund tracking manually with Classes. QuickBooks Desktop does offer nonprofit-specific editions (Premier Nonprofit Edition and Enterprise Nonprofit) with a nonprofit chart of accounts, though these still simulate fund separation through Classes rather than treating each fund as its own accounting entity.
Some exist for organizations with basic bookkeeping needs and no grants or restricted funds to track separately. Once an organization needs to report by fund, program, or grant for a board or funder, free tools typically can’t produce that breakdown without manual workarounds.
There’s no single best option, it depends on your organization’s size and complexity, but the criteria that matter are a fund-based chart of accounts (not a workaround like Classes), grant and compliance reporting built in, and an audit trail your board and auditors can access directly rather than through exports.
No, it’s general small-business accounting software. Its Classes feature can approximate fund tracking, but funds aren’t treated as separate accounting entities with their own balance sheet the way purpose-built fund accounting software handles them.
Yes, Sage Intacct for Nonprofits supports fund accounting and grant tracking for nonprofit organizations.
Not for daily use, the software handles fund-level tracking itself, but most nonprofits still involve a CPA for annual audits, Form 990 filings, and reviewing financial statements as fund and grant complexity grows.
Some free tools exist for volunteer treasurers handling simple income and expense tracking with no fund-level detail required. That’s a different use case than an organization producing audit-ready, fund-specific reports for a board or funder, which is what dedicated fund accounting software is built for.
Both are purpose-built for nonprofit fund accounting rather than adapted from commercial tools. The better fit usually comes down to organization size, existing systems, and specific reporting needs, request a demo to compare directly against your requirements.
