Light and KPMG are joining forces to take agentic finance from the first wave of adopters to the thousands of finance teams running on yesterday's stack.
KPMG shapes how finance runs in more than 140 countries, and its network of firms will now bring agentic finance to their clients with Light, moving fast-growing, multi-entity companies off the stacks they run today and onto the agentic accounting platform. Agents pick up the operational load, and finance teams get their week back for the decisions that grow the business.
Companies that switch to Light cut finance operations time by 84%, with agents running the work across payables, receivables, payments, reporting and the general ledger. Getting there is an organisational change as much as a software decision: which process moves first, how controls get rebuilt around agents, who signs off, and how a team changes the way it works. KPMG does that work for a living, and has done it for decades inside the finance functions of the largest companies in the world.
Trust sets the pace of adoption, and few names carry more weight in a finance function than KPMG. A CFO hands work to agents when KPMG has rebuilt the controls around them.
“We are building an ecosystem of finance builders: the people who run finance with agents and build what their company needs on top. That mission deserves a megaphone, and none reaches further than KPMG.”
They sit inside thousands of finance functions around the world, they have earned the trust of the most demanding CFOs in the market, and when they commit to a shift of this size, the market follows. There is no partner we would rather build this with.
KPMG reads the shift the same way.
“The true value of AI is realized only when it is embedded into core business processes and daily ways of working. KPMG’s expertise and Light’s innovative platform help our clients achieve measurable business outcomes faster and with greater confidence.”
A growing partner network
KPMG joins a partner network that includes J.P. Morgan, BDO, Cooper Parry and Greenstep: banks, advisory firms and integrators building services on the platform. Light trains and certifies partners to deploy, monitor and govern agents on their clients' books, because the future of managed services is managed agents.

Built to run the business
Light gives a company one platform for its general ledger and its finance operations, across every entity it trades through. Onboarding runs in weeks rather than the eighteen-month ERP programmes finance teams have learned to dread, agents deploy in seconds, and every action they take lands in the audit trail attributed to the agent that took it.
That is the platform KPMG will now put in front of its clients. The finance function that runs on agents is arriving either way, and the teams that get there first spend their month on the business instead of on the close.
