Group Controller

Retire the ERP. Light exists to replace factory-era ERPs with software that feels alive. Our Smart Financial Platform gives modern, global companies superpowers—automated accounting, real-time reporting, and financial flows that move at the speed of the business. We build with our customers, ship fast, and obsess over craft. In a short time, Light has gone from idea to the operating core for leading companies like Lovable, Legora, and Keyshot. People don’t just use Light—they enjoy it. We’re an early team defining a new software category. Think engineers who love debits and credits, designers who care about reconciliation states, and operators who treat finance as a product. If you’re excited to modernize how the world runs money—one workflow at a time—you’re in the right place. Backed by world-class investors and advised by industry titans, we’re building category-defining products with the freedom to ship ambitiously and own outcomes. Come help us make Light the global default for next-gen finance. #

The Role

This is probably one of the most exciting finance roles in Europe right now and we say that knowing how that sounds like. If you are genuinely passionate about AI tooling and the future of accounting while having lived through the pains of closing books in the old world, we might be looking for you - define with us what “best-in-class finance” looks like in a modern stack!

As our first dedicated finance hire, you will own the books across three-jurisdictions (IFRS reporting, statutory accounts, consolidation) while working inside a company that builds the tools that make all of that faster, more accurate, and more intelligent than any traditional finance stack. Your experience as an operator will directly shape the product we sell to finance teams across Europe.
