Founded in 2022 by serial entrepreneur Jonathan Sanders, Light has rebuilt the general ledger from the ground up to create an AI-driven finance platform that can keep pace with rapidly scaling businesses. The system processes 280 million records in under a second, delivers instant balance sheets, and automates multi-entity accounting, global payments, and expense management with human-level accuracy while catching errors professionals often miss. Customers such as Lovable, Sana, and Legora report an 84 % reduction in finance operations time, and the company claims 30× revenue growth over the past 12 months. Light partners with infrastructure providers like JP Morgan, Adyen, and BDO to ensure enterprise-grade reliability, and its engineering team hails from Spotify, Google, Klarna, AWS, Booking.com, and Shopify. Recent funding brings total capital raised to $43 million, supporting plans to open a New York office, triple the engineering team by Q2 2026, launch a process-optimisation workbench, and expand deployment capabilities. The company positions itself as the modern alternative to decades-old ERP software, targeting global, hypergrowth clients that need scalability without added headcount or complexity.
