"Single Live Ledger and AI Automation That Streamlined Our Close"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Light?

The single live ledger across entities is the standout. We no longer chase balances between systems or rebuild consolidations in spreadsheets. AI agents handle the bulk of invoice capture, coding, and matching so the team spends time on exceptions and decisions instead of data entry. Approvals flow cleanly (including via Slack), and multi-currency handling feels native rather than bolted on. The interface is modern and responsive, which makes day-to-day work less draining.

What do you dislike about Light?

Reporting customisation still has a learning curve for more complex board-pack layouts we need. A few edge-case local compliance mappings required extra configuration during go-live. Support is responsive, but some advanced workflow edge cases took a couple of rounds to tune perfectly. These are manageable and have improved with use, but they are the main friction points so far.

What problems is Light solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before Light we were stitching together separate tools and manual processes for AP, AR, bank reconciliation, and group reporting. That created delays at month-end, version-control issues, and limited real-time visibility. Light has cut the time spent on routine transaction processing and consolidation. At Hectra this means the finance team can close faster, answer stakeholder questions with current numbers, and scale operations without proportionally increasing headcount. Cash visibility and intercompany eliminations are now reliable instead of a monthly scramble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
