Light vs Fincore
Fincore is an agentic finance team that connects to the ERP, CRM, HRIS, banks and billing tools a company already runs, and drafts the close, revenue, collections and cash-forecast work for a human to approve. Light is the agentic ERP itself: one ledger where the agents, the consolidation, the bills, the cards and the payments are one system.

The world's most demanding finance teams run on Light.
Put the agents in the ledger
Fincore connects finance agents to the ERP, CRM, HRIS and banks you already run, and a human approves each draft. Light's agents match, code and post inside its own ledger, under your finance team's controls, with every action logged.
- 01
One system instead of two
A Fincore customer runs Fincore plus NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct or another ERP. Light holds the ledger, the consolidation, the bills, the cards and the payments in one product, so nothing moves between systems.
- 02
Consolidate as transactions post
Fincore drafts intercompany journals and ages collections across entities. Light consolidates every entity on one ledger as transactions post, with eliminations included and drill-down to the source document, so group figures are current any day of the month.
