I works brilliantly and I love the product and your support system is amazing. > > **Cons**: the inability to have 1 xero file linked to several lightyear companies. We have suppliers who give us different pricing for different builders and that means that we have to create several LY companies. however when we link to Xero we have to create different xero logins and then it does not give details of which company is linked in xero, > > Excellent product, support is quick simple and easy and very astute quick to respond and updates and quick and often ----- ### "Accounting and bookkeeping" — 5.0/5 > **Lily** | *16 October 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We've had a really positive experience with Lightyear. It's helped simplify what used to be time-consuming manual processes and made our workflow much more efficient. A special to Kyle, who helped map our invoices, export new supplier list to our new venue. What was once a painful and lengthy task is now automated, saving us loads of time each month. The team was great to work with, incredibly helpful throughout the setup, and made the whole process easy from start to finish. > > **Cons**: Sometime can't read what on the invoice and the total amount is doesn't match with the invoice and we have to manually adjust. > > Software is great to use, and Assistance from support team is Brillant. Easy to use and fast for mapping. Overall, Lightyear has delivered real time savings and has been a great addition to our finance processes. We would highly recommend it to other businesses looking to streamline their accounts payable workflows. ----- ### "5 \* support and software" — 5.0/5 > **Joanna** | *24 August 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lightyear's support is the best of any software I have ever used. Thank you Kyle and the whole LY team > > **Cons**: There is nothing I do not like about LY but this Capterra is making me enter at least 100 characters about What did you like least about Lightyear? > > Excellent software. Versatile and continually upgrading and listening to user requests and implementing them. ----- ### "Great software and helpful staff" — 4.0/5 > **Jessica** | *19 October 2026* | Apparel & Fashion | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using Lightyear since my previous role and decided to integrate this to my current company for ease of accounting process. I enjoy using it as it saves me so much time and effort having to process all data entry manually. Service staff are also quick to respond to any issues I have > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, it is rather pricey for the software - it'd be appreciated if there was a discount for bulk buying credits, especially as a returning customer. ----- ### "finance Officer" — 5.0/5 > **Peta** | *15 October 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and once you get the mapping correct each invoice sails through the system from approval to review. I also really love how you can query the invoice with an email to the supplier through lightyear. > > **Cons**: Sometimes the invoice lay outs can prove tricky for the mapping. But with a bit of patience and/or some support from the team you can normally get this sorted. > > I have found Lightyear to be incredibly time saving. Having software that scans and processes our accounts payable has freed up my time to take on other tasks and support my team more. I wouldn't want to work without it. I also find the support team very helpful and the time between support request and response is instant. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/178978/lightyear?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/178978/lightyear) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
