Replace the ERP.
Lose the Frankenstack.

How it works

Agents do the work. Your team approves.

That is the pattern across Light: agents work inside the policy you write, and your team approves what needs a human. Take one example, a supplier bill.

A laptop, headphones and reading glasses on a desk

1. The invoice arrives.

Forward a supplier PDF to your Light inbox. It becomes a draft bill in the same system as your ledger.

Explore bill payments

2. An agent codes it.

The Bill Agent reads the invoice and codes the draft, using your instructions and that vendor’s previous bills.

Meet the agents

3. Your team approves.

Approval follows the rules you set for entity, vendor or amount. Anything that needs attention is corrected before it posts.

See approval workflows

4. It posts to the ledger.

Approval posts the bill to the ledger, ready for payment. Follow the entry through entity and group reports.

Customers

What changed for the finance teams that moved.

The platform

One ledger. Unlimited apps. 24/7 agentic work.

Start with one set of books for every company you own. Add only what your business needs, when it needs it. Then let the routine work happen on its own, within the rules your team sets.

Knows the business.

Every company you own, every country, every number, on one ledger. Accounting, payables, receivables, cards and consolidation share it, so you move from the group view to the transaction behind any number.

Migration

A clear plan from migration to first close.

Agree your entities, data, integrations and timeline before you start. Light or an implementation partner leads delivery, with a named lead accountable for the project and Light’s methodology and quality standards.

1. Scope and prepare.

Agree responsibilities and integration needs. Bring your chart of accounts, balances and open items into a guided dry run.

2. Build and validate.

Configure workflows together, reconcile the imported balances and test real transactions. Your team signs off each process.

3. Sign off and go live.

Your team approves the final setup before cutover. Support continues through your first month-end close, so you can run Light yourselves.

How migration works, step by step

The questions CFOs ask first.

“How long does implementation take?”

Plan for 4–16 weeks from signature to your first month-end close. The timeline depends on your entities, data readiness and integrations; we agree the scope and milestones with you. Go-live is one milestone within that plan.

“What happens to our history?”

We agree the history to migrate as part of your scope. Opening balances and open items are in place for go-live; historical transactions can follow. All Gravy brought six years of history into Light, with each year reconciled before import.

“How do we know we are ready to switch?”

Your team reconciles the migrated balances and tests real transactions, workflows and integrations. Formal sign-off gates go-live. We agree the cutover and ledger close dates together, with support through your first close.

“Who manages implementation—and who runs Light afterwards?”

We agree the delivery team, scope and responsibilities with you before implementation begins. Your project is led by Light or an implementation partner working to Light’s methodology and quality standards, with a named lead accountable for delivery. Your finance team reviews and approves the setup before go-live. Afterwards, they run Light day to day, with the knowledge to manage workflows and make changes themselves.

Why we built Light

Finance should help shape the business.

Your team should spend less time moving numbers between systems and more time deciding what comes next.

That belief is why we built Light. Read the thinking behind it.
