The world's most demanding finance teams run on Light.
Keep AP in the general ledger
Vic.ai reads, codes, matches and routes invoices, then posts approved ones back to the ERP you already run. Light's agents code, match and post bills inside its own ledger, under your finance team's controls.
- 01
Bill customers in the same books
Vic.ai covers accounts payable, vendor payments and card spend. Light also handles customer invoicing, contract-based billing and deferred revenue, so the P&L and balance sheet come from the system that holds the bills.
