Cambio Communities: streamlining accounts payable to support growth

About Cambio Communities

Founded in 2020, Cambio Communities is dedicated to revitalizing manufactured home communities and providing affordable housing solutions. From upgrading playgrounds to expanding pools and improving amenities, Cambio invests in raising the standard of living for residents while ensuring housing remains accessible and affordable. 

The challenge

With rapid growth, from two communities to 32 in just a few years, Cambio’s finance team faced a major challenge: scaling accounts payable. Each property brought a flood of invoices, totaling more than 100 per day and 1,500 per month. Manual invoice entry, payment processing, and contractor management threatened to slow growth, strain vendor relationships, and overburden staff. 

The solution

Cambio turned to Sage Intacct, a complete financial management platform with AI-powered accounts payable (AP) automation, built directly into the financial management platform they already rely on. By streamlining invoice capture, approvals, and payments, the team eliminated manual intervention, reduced bottlenecks, and gained the ability to process invoices quickly, accurately, and at scale. Today, Cambio processes nearly 3,500 invoices per month, more than double their starting volume, without requiring a larger AP team.

The results 

With Sage Intacct’s robust reporting and advanced AP automation, Cambio has unlocked new levels of efficiency and service quality: 

• ‍Faster invoice processing at scale: Automation enabled Cambio to grow from processing 1,500 to 3,500 invoices monthly with no extra manual effort 
• ‍Improved vendor relationships: Reliable, on-time payments mean contractors get supplies and labor faster, helping keep community projects on track
• ‍Smarter financial insights: With time freed from data entry, the finance team can focus on enhanced coding and dimensional reporting, driving better decision-making.

As CFO Sarah Janowicz explains:

"With the time the team is saving, they are also able to add more value and intelligence to their coding and dimensions work, enabling more effective management reporting and insight.” 

Looking ahead

As Cambio continues to expand, Sage Intacct, with AP automation at its core, will remain a cornerstone of their financial operations. By combining efficiency with a commitment to vendor and resident satisfaction, Cambio is well-positioned to keep revitalizing communities and delivering better living experiences for families nationwide.
