Case Study: Center for Community Progress achieves clearer project financials and 25% reduced admin time with Sage Intacct

Sage Intacct grants the Center for Community Progress more time to achieve its goal

Center for Community Progress is a national nonprofit that helps communities transform vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties into assets. As the organization grew, its lean finance team struggled with QuickBooks and manual Excel processes to track projects, grants, and donor-restricted funding, making it hard to produce timely, detailed reports and manage allocations across multiple funders.

By implementing Sage Intacct (configured by CliftonLarsonAllen) and integrating Nexonia, Paychex, and an allocation app, the center gained real‑time project visibility, automated time and expense tracking, and stronger financial controls. The result: 25% less project administration time, scalable processes without added headcount, lower audit fees, and a return on the software investment in under three months, freeing staff to focus more on the mission.
