Ocean on Light

Ocean ran finance across Denmark and the US with a messy stack; QuickBooks, e-conomic, Corpay, Pleo and more. Numbers didn’t match, rules clashed, and even simple consolidation took too long.


Light fixed that instantly. Consolidations became one click. Bills coded themselves. Approvals lived in Slack. And Ocean could scale without hiring more finance staff.


Kristoffer now spends time on growth and product, not admin. Light gives Ocean accurate, automated, multi-entity finance in a single system.


For Ocean, Light is how a lean SaaS team scales without the finance chaos.

Ocean on Light

Ocean ran finance across Denmark and the US with a fragmented financial tech stack. QuickBooks, e-conomic, corepay, pleo and other point solutions all produced different numbers, different rules, and a consolidation process that never felt right. Kristoffer knew their reporting wasn’t accurate, and answering even basic questions across entities took too much time.


Switching to Light changed that. Multi-entity consolidation became instant. Bills started coding themselves correctly through AI rules. Approvals moved into Slack. And the finance function suddenly required no extra hires while the rest of the company kept scaling.


With Light, Kristoffer spends far less time “making things run” and far more time on the commercial and product side of Ocean’s business, without worrying about the numbers behind it. Accuracy improved and admin evaporated.


For Ocean, Light isn’t just accounting software. It’s how a two-entity SaaS company runs lean, stays accurate, and scales without adding headcount.
