Light is an AI-native financial operations platform founded in 2022 to replace decades-old ERP systems. Where incumbents bolt AI onto legacy architecture, Light built its entire general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and reporting stack with AI at the core. The software automates bookkeeping, transaction categorization, reconciliation, and consolidation across global entities and currencies, with single-click consolidated reporting that loads in under 500ms. Light reports customers cut finance-operations time by roughly 84% after switching from legacy ERPs, and the company saw 30x growth over twelve months. In September 2025 Light raised a $30M Series A led by Balderton Capital (an early Revolut and GoCardless backer), bringing total funding to $43M, and opened offices in London with New York planned to meet U.S. demand.
