Bookkeeping automation uses software to handle repetitive AP tasks, such as extracting invoice data, coding transactions, matching them against purchase orders, and syncing them with your accounting system — without manual input. It removes the time-consuming admin so you can focus on accuracy, exceptions, and advisory work.
Lightyear automates bookkeeping by extracting line-item data from invoices, credit notes, and receipts as soon as they're uploaded (via email, mobile app or drag-and-drop), then applying Smart Automation Rules to code each line to the correct GL account, tracking category and tax rate based on supplier, product code or keyword. Coded documents move through a multi-tiered approvals workflow before exporting to your accounting software or ERP system. Lightyear also automatically reconciles statements and identifies missing invoices.
