## Reviews

### "Lightyear - lots of positives\!\!" — 5.0/5

> **Bernie** | *5 November 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Lightyear has made the handling of paper almost redundant in our office setting. It obviously assists in achieving a Company's sustainability objectives and saves valuable time wasted on managing and shifting paper\!
> 
> **Cons**: It is always painful parting with money but realistically it is reasonable value for money\! There is not very much not to like about Lightyear\!
> 
> Lightyear has been a wonderful addition to our accounting routine. Paperless and ease of review, analysing and importing of information into Sage has allowed us to save on at least one worker in our office. In addition, with developments ongoing and the Lightyear team's ambition to add and improve, I can only see us moving more and more processing to the Lightyear platform. Support is always on hand too and response times are prompt.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Lightyear to any medium/large business - it is a no brainer\!

### "Awesome Product and Experience" — 5.0/5

> **Cathryn** | *28 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great product love using it. 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

### "A very positive experience" — 5.0/5

> **Samantha** | *4 December 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the speed at witch i can process large volumes of invoices. The statement reconciliation is also very useful. The smart extraction is a game changer for hand-written invoices. The new splitting of merging tool is a great addition. I think Lightyear are constantly looking to improve which is a refreshing change for this type supplier.
> 
> **Cons**: I find the processing page a little annoying, it jumps around a bit. Rather than work on my actions in the back ground it will jump to an invoice if its completed extracting it. &#10;Its not cheap.....
> 
> Overall i really enjoy working with lightyear. I look forward to further improvements in the future.

### "No regrets, works really well" — 5.0/5

> **Claire** | *1 December 2025* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Fast processing, easy to use, good value for money as no user limits. Support team are approachable and efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: Would like the option to make fields mandatory or optional in raising POs. Reporting could be improved as it isn't very powerful at the moment.
> 
> We have been users for 4 years and any queries have always been addressed promptly, they take suggestions on board, 3-way match works well and gives us good financial controls.

### "Say goodbye to tiring amounts of data entry\! Lightyear will greatly improve your business" — 5.0/5

> **Alex** | *6 May 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Greatly improves the Accounts Payable \&amp; Inventory functions of your business. Significantly reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks like invoice processing and data entry. It allows Accountants to focus more on financial reporting and analysis. The benefit of this can not be understated. For the amount you pay, you will get far greater returns in terms of time saved and output. Try Lightyear\! You will not regret it\!
> 
> **Cons**: As with any developing technology; it is in a state of constant improvement. Not all processes are perfect.&#10;That being said, the Lightyear Team release regular updates that improve functionality. They are also very open to your feedback, and make updates based on customer feedback. I have only been using Lightyear for 1 year, yet the amount of Improvements has been incredible. The smart extract feature, for example, has improved the functionality of Lightyear ten-fold.
> 
> Our overall experience with Lightyear has been very positive. &#10;The team listen to customer feedback. The software is very good at saving you time. Say goodbye to tiring amounts of data entry\! Those days are gone.&#10;You can now focus more on Financial Reporting \&amp; Analysis of your business, instead of wasting hours processing invoices manually. &#10;My job has turned from 80% of time spent on data entry to less than 15%. I now use this spare time to assist our Senior Accountant with more important tasks, like reporting. This has improved our Finance Team's quality of work significantly and the time saved is well worth the monthly fees you pay to Lightyear.
