Product overview

Light is a Copenhagen-based AI-native finance platform that replaces legacy ERP systems for multinational companies. The platform automates general ledger management, accounts receivable, accounts payable, bookkeeping, and financial reporting across multiple entities, currencies, and jurisdictions. Unlike traditional finance software that retrofits AI onto decades-old architecture, Light was built from scratch with AI at its core. It processes up to 280 million records in under a second, generates balance sheets instantly, and manages multi-entity accounting automatically. AI within the platform categorizes transactions, detects anomalies, reconciles data, and ensures compliance with local accounting standards across countries. Customers report reducing finance operations time by 84% after switching from legacy systems. A Slack integration allows employees to ask financial questions in natural language. Light was founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur Jonathan Sanders and serves hypergrowth companies including Lovable and Legora. The platform partners with JP Morgan, Adyen, and BDO for financial infrastructure. Light raised $30 million in Series A funding in September 2025 led by Balderton Capital, with Atomico, Cherry Ventures, and Seedcamp participating. The engineering team includes alumni from Spotify, Google, Klarna, and AWS.
