Light is a Danish financial technology company that develops an artificial intelligence-based accounting and general ledger platform for multinational companies.
History Light was founded by Jonathan Sanders and Filip Kozjak in 2022. At launch, most of its customers were Nordic technology companies, including Worksome, Lenus, Famly, and Proxify.
In June 2024, Light exited stealth with US$13 million (DKK 90 million) in seed funding led by Atomico, with participation from Cherry Ventures, Entrée Capital, Seedcamp, and angel investors including footballer Mario Götze. As part of the round, Atomico partner Andreas Helbig joined Light's board of directors.
In September 2025, the company raised a US$30 million Series A round led by Balderton Capital, with participation from existing investors Atomico, Cherry Ventures, Seedcamp, and Entrée Capital, bringing its total funding to US$43 million. The company opened an office in London in 2025 and said it would use the funding to expand in the United States, including opening a New York office.
Product Light's platform is a general ledger system that uses machine learning models to automate bookkeeping tasks such as transaction coding and tax-code assignment, and allows finance teams to query financial data in natural language. Unlike traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) suites, the product is limited to finance functions, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, bookkeeping, and VAT reporting, and integrates with third-party CRM, HR, banking, and messaging tools.
The company says the platform can process 280 million records in under a second and reduces the time finance teams spend on operations by about 84 percent. Its platform integrates with financial infrastructure providers including JPMorgan Chase, Adyen, and BDO.
In November 2025, The Times published a long-piece interview with Matias Salonen, who led finance operations at the Swedish vibe coding company Lovable, alongside Light co-founder and chief executive Jonathan Sanders and Rosh Wijayarathna, an executive from JPMorgan Chase. Lovable had reached more than US$100 million in annualised revenue within eight months of launch, and Salonen said its finance systems had not kept pace: accounting ran in two systems that did not communicate, payments ran through three or four, and the company had no real-time view of recognised revenue or costs. According to Salonen, Light replaced QuickBooks in the United States and a local Swedish accounting provider, and consolidated three expense-card systems and several payment systems onto a single platform, with the first workflows going live within about two weeks. He said the combination of Light and JPMorgan Chase allowed Lovable to run its finance function with two full-time staff, a headcount he described as unusually low for a company of that size.Tyler, Richard (11 November 2025).
