Light

The AI-native alternative to legacy ERP.

Best for
Multi-entity tech companies replacing legacy ERP

Overview

Light is an AI-native financial management platform built specifically for multinational, multi-entity companies. Instead of bolting AI onto a decades-old ERP core, Light was built from scratch around a real-time, multi-entity, multi-currency general ledger, with AI agents automating an estimated 80% of manual finance work: invoice ingestion, categorisation, reconciliation, and receipt chasing.

Best for: Fast-growing, multi-entity technology companies (roughly 30-5,000 employees) with lean finance teams replacing a fragmented stack or a legacy ERP.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Native multi-entity and multi-currency from day one, not an add-on module

  • Slack- and Teams-first workflows, including natural-language “Ask @Light” queries
  • Dramatically faster time-to-value than legacy ERP
  • SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II audited

Cons

  • Newer platform than NetSuite, SAP, or Sage, so a smaller install base and track record
  • Custom, quote-based pricing with no published tiers
  • Best fit is specifically multi-entity, multi-currency companies, less relevant for a single-entity small business
