finance systems to run across finance, bill payments and spend management.
At Light, we believe finance should be everyone's tool, not just the finance team's.
Our collaboration with Famly shows what happens when invoices and expenses stop being a chore the company tolerates and become something people actually enjoy. When the whole company participates, finance stops chasing and starts closing.

01The Challenge
Finance for the whole company
Famly builds the platform that powers thousands of early-education centres, and behind it sits a team spread across product, engineering, sales, and support. Every one of them generates receipts, expenses, and invoices. Almost none of them wants to think about finance software.
With Light, they don't have to. Receipts get snapped and dropped into Slack, where the data is extracted, categorized, and posted automatically. Approvals arrive where people already work, with the context to decide in seconds. As Rasmus Vogt, VP Finance at Famly, puts it: “The first solution ever that makes non-finance employees excited about invoices and expenses.”
02The Solution
From chasing to closing
For the finance team, the change is what stopped happening. Missing receipts get chased by agents, not accountants. Card transactions reconcile as they clear. The bookkeeping that used to arrive in a month-end pile now posts continuously, so the close starts from books that are already current.
That shift moves the team's time from collecting paper to running the business: policy, forecasting, and the questions that actually need a finance brain.
03The Result
Looking ahead
Famly keeps growing, and the finance function is built to grow with it, without growing headcount at the same rate. One ledger, agents on the routine work, and a company full of people who no longer dread expense day.
The first solution ever that makes non-finance employees excited about invoices and expenses.
