Light Payroll

Fetches approved pay runs from Zenegy and posts them automatically in Light, with cost centres.

• Payroll into the accounts in minutes instead of hours – every single month.
• Light automatically fetches approved pay runs from Zenegy and turns them into finished payroll entries in Light's general ledger.
• No manual payroll vouchers and no copying from PDFs into spreadsheets: once payroll is approved in Zenegy, the entry is ready in Light.
• The integration supports mapping of cost centres, so payroll is automatically allocated to departments, projects or other dimensions according to your own setup.
• Pay types and accounts are mapped once and reused every month – and can be adjusted when the chart of accounts changes.
• The entries are reconciled against the general ledger, and discrepancies are flagged before the month is closed.
• Supports multiple companies, so groups can run payroll in Zenegy and get consolidated reporting in Light.

With Light Payroll you get:

• One general ledger across all companies and countries, with automatic elimination of intercompany transactions.
• AI agents that handle accounts payable, reconciliation, categorisation and month-end close on their own.
• Astra: ask about and carry out finance tasks in plain language.
• Real-time reporting and consolidation in multiple currencies, without spreadsheets.
• Multibook: local GAAP, IFRS and management reporting side by side.
• Spend management with company cards, virtual cards and out-of-pocket expenses. Receipts are uploaded via Slack, Teams or the mobile app.
• Global bill pay: payments in 80+ countries with built-in currency handling and automatic reconciliation.
• Subscription and revenue management with automatic accruals.
• Workflows and approval flows with an immutable audit trail.
• Open API, Claude MCP and plugins for Slack, Teams and Google Sheets.
• Replaces a whole stack of point solutions with one system: one source of data, one audit trail.
• Implementation run by Light's own team, not by external consultancies.

Onboarding

The implementation is run by Light's own team – no external consultants. We work in three phases: Foundation (chart of accounts, companies, integrations and opening balances), Configuration (workflows, approvals, dimensions and reports) and Validation (parallel run and approval of the first month-end close). The Zenegy integration is set up in the Foundation phase, where pay types and cost centres are mapped once.

Support

A dedicated contact person throughout the onboarding. After that, support by email at support@light.inc and in a shared Slack channel, a help centre at light.inc/help and API documentation at docs.light.inc.

Pricing

Light is priced by the number of companies, users and modules. Price by agreement – contact us at support@light.inc or book a demo at light.inc.

About Light

Light is an AI-native accounting platform – a modern alternative to traditional ERP systems. We were founded in Copenhagen and are building the finance platform we were missing ourselves.

At Light, all of the accounting runs on one general ledger in real time. General ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, out-of-pocket expenses and company cards, subscription and revenue management, consolidation and reporting are in the same system – not in five different tools that have to be reconciled against each other.

The platform is built for businesses with multiple companies in multiple countries. Intercompany balances are eliminated automatically, currencies are handled as you go, and group reports are ready in real time, without spreadsheets and without overnight batch runs.

Our AI agents work around the clock on accounts payable, reconciliation, categorisation and month-end close. They suggest postings, catch discrepancies and learn from the corrections the finance team makes.

With Astra, our AI interface, you can ask about and carry out tasks in plain language – from “what did we spend on marketing in Q2 in the German company?” to posting a whole pile of receipts.

Light is used today by more than 100 growth companies, including KeyShot, Famly, Lovable, Legora and Fuse Energy, across 20 countries. Customers report up to 80% less manual finance work.

For Danish businesses, payroll is a central part of the accounts. That's why we have built a direct integration with Zenegy, so approved pay runs automatically become correct payroll entries in Light – fully allocated to cost centres.

You should choose Light if you want one system instead of a stack of point solutions, real-time insight instead of month-old figures, and a finance team that spends its time on analysis rather than data entry.

Light has raised USD 30 million in venture funding and has its headquarters in Copenhagen.
