Practical accounting utilities

Spend less time preparing files and more time reviewing the results.

Our MIP utility services address recurring tasks that slow down nonprofit finance teams, from vendor-list maintenance to distributing reports by fund or program. We build the process around your accounting setup and help your team use it consistently.

Many utilities work with data from systems you already use, without requiring you to replace MIP or introduce an entirely new accounting platform.

Fewer manual steps

Automate analysis and file preparation that would otherwise be repeated every period.

Cleaner review and reporting

Bring greater consistency to records and outputs, so exceptions are easier to identify.

Documented processes

Use repeatable steps and guidance that your staff can maintain after implementation.

Why McGovern Consulting Group

Purpose-built for real MIP accounting work.

We scope each utility around your chart of accounts, segments, approval processes, and the way your finance team already works. Implementation includes the review and guidance needed to make the process usable over time.

Designed around your process

Utility configuration accounts for your MIP setup, reporting needs, and established review steps.

Practical project timelines

Many engagements are targeted for review and completion in approximately two weeks, depending on the work involved.

Training and continuing support

Documented steps, walkthroughs, and assistance help your team keep the process running after go-live.

Our goal is to make accounting tasks easier to repeat and exceptions easier to understand, with appropriate controls and a clear audit trail.

When a utility supports an import

Keep the MIP import process predictable.

Some utilities prepare data for an import into MIP. For those workflows, we help your team follow the familiar preparation, error-review, and posting steps.

Utilities such as report splitting or remittance email enhancement may use a different process. The import sequence below applies when the service produces data for a MIP transaction import.
