Welcome to Flash #9. Here's what shipped over the last two weeks.
What we shipped
Bills list filtering that works the way you search
Finding the right bill used to mean scrolling and hoping. The bills list now filters the way people actually search: date range, amount range, multiple entities at once, any column, and your own custom properties like cost centre, department or project code.
For teams managing high volumes across multiple entities, this removes a lot of daily friction.
SaaS Metrics, now open to everyone
The SaaS Metrics dashboard has been in beta for a while. This week the gating came off entirely. Every Light customer now has access. It also picked up a monthly cash balance metric, customisable stat cards, and a stability pass on how dashboard layouts save.
MRR, ARR, churn, cash. All live, all in one place.
Credit note approvals got a proper two-step workflow
Credit note approvals now have a real two-step process. Approvers can be reviewed and edited before a credit note is even submitted. The requester no longer counts as their own approver. And if an approval chain can't be satisfied, the system tells you clearly rather than silently getting stuck.
For teams with any kind of controls framework around credit notes, this closes a meaningful gap.
Plus, all this
- Journal entries now appear in the audit trail. The activity log that already existed on accounting documents now captures journal entry events too. Anyone checking who posted, edited or approved an entry can see it without asking around.
- PO numbers now editable on posted invoices and customer credits. Not just on drafts.
- Bill payment from ledger accounts is now fully GA. No more allow list. Available to every customer for intercompany settlements and anywhere a ledger account stands in for a bank.
- New Light website. Featuring lots more details on the product, our customers and thought leadership right here on the Light blog.
Event season is back
We're heading into a new event season at Light. Hackathons, tradeshows, and the launch of Builders Club at our brand new London office.
Builders Club is something different. Two hours, laptop open, hands on the product. No decks, no screen shares. You, logged into the Light sandbox, building a real workflow alongside our team. For senior finance leaders who would rather try AI than read about it. Spaces are limited so the room stays useful.
Head to our events page for everything coming up. We'd love to see you there: light.inc/events
That's it for Flash #9. Reach out directly, use LCI, or head to help.light.inc.
