About Light

At Light, we’re on a mission to replace the ERP. Traditional systems are slow, painful to implement, and built for factories — not modern companies. Our Smart Financial Platform (SFP) is built for today’s global, service-based businesses, automating accounting, reporting, and financial flows with speed and simplicity.

In just a short time, we’ve gone from idea to powering operations for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. We build with our customers, ship at high velocity, and obsess over making finance software that people actually love to use.

You’re joining an early-stage company defining a new software category, backed by top investors including Balderton, Atomico, Cherry Ventures, Seedcamp, and Entrée Capital. Our advisory board includes the former CTO of Workday Financials, the Chief Architect of SAP S/4HANA along with EY and Oracle SVPs. At Light, you’ll work with exceptional people, build category-defining products, and have the freedom to shape something truly transformative.
