"We can't imagine running our organization without the true fund accounting capabilities offered through Abila MIP Fund Accounting," said Daniel McKevitt, chief financial and administrative officer for the Foreign Policy Association. "Due to the complexity of the funds and programs we track and manage, only a true fund accounting system meets our needs. And now being able to do that in the cloud - with anytime/anywhere access and clean, easy-to-understand dashboards and reports - has made our lives far more efficient and far easier to share data with our board in a way they can understand."

"Organizations we serve enjoy the power and sophistication of the MIP Fund Accounting solution, but many are now looking for a cloud-based system," said Glenn Stephens from ProSoft Solutions, an authorized Abila Business Partner. "We are already seeing a high level of interest in MIP Advance because of its worry-free, cloud-based technology and competitive pricing."

Decades of Service and Support through the Industry's Leading Network of VARs

Abila has the nonprofit industry's most well-educated and experienced network of value-added resellers (VARs).

Partner Marketplace and Open API

In addition to the native reporting tools and dashboards already found in MIP Advance, the new open API from Abila allows partners in Abila's Partner Ecosystem to quickly and easily design tools and products that fully integrate with MIP Advance. Ten new partners have recently joined the Partner Ecosystem and showcase their offerings in the Abila Marketplace.


"In many ways, MIP Advance is a game changer for nonprofit organizations," said Jan Skinner, director of business development for AvidXchange. "Organizations can now tap into the power of a true fund accounting solution built for nonprofit organizations in the cloud with anytime access. The new API from Abila allows us to simply and easily integrate our cloud-based AP and Payment Automation solution into MIP Advance, creating a seamless experience for customers. This ultimately empowers nonprofits with 24/7 visibility to invoice and payment status and approvals, reduced operating costs, enhanced fraud protection, and facilitation of 100% of payments - regardless of vendor preference."
