Sage Software has announced that youth organizations such as Boys and Girls Clubs of Tucson, Girl Scout Council of Southeastern Massachusetts, and Team-Up for Youth, are using Sage MIP Fund Accounting to track and report on multiple funds across multiple budget periods; plan and manage budgets; maximize grants; and quickly produce accurate customized reports.

'Sage MIP Fund Accounting allows everyone in our organization, from our CEO and board of directors, to our program managers to get information at their individual level of required detail," said Susan Charlebois, accountant for Girl Scout Council of Southeastern Massachusetts in Middleboro, Mass., a Sage Software customer since 2001. "The training curve for new users is minimal, and the system bends to what we need, not the other way around. The ability to e-mail information directly from Sage MIP Fund Accounting is outstanding."

In all, hundreds of youth organizations across North America benefit from Sage MIP Fund Accounting on a daily basis, as they strive to demonstrate accountability and transparency to their constituents. The solution continues to be easy-to-use, while powerful reporting tools, table-driven charts of accounts, and a dynamic Drill-down Analyzer make it easy for auditors to verify the accuracy of these nonprofits' financial statements.

"As with any nonprofit, being able to demonstrate accountability and transparency is critical," said Brenda Hudson, comptroller for Team-Up for Youth in Oakland, Calif., a Sage Software customer since 2007. "Sage MIP Fund Accounting's user-friendly qualities and great audit trails enable us to provide funders and potential donors with detailed reports and financial statements. More specifically, using the software's Allocation Management http://www.sagenonprofit.com/products/fundaccount/modules/allocations/default.aspx module, we are able to give 'real-time' program costs, including direct and overhead expenses."
