Learn about implementing Lightyear
We understand that implementing new tools or changing critical business processes is a big deal. We also know that no business is the same and change management is critical to ensuring a smooth transition.
Luckily, we have helped thousands of businesses, from SMBs to global mid-market corporations, and their accountants/bookkeepers to successfully implement Lightyear with a 5 star satisfaction rating.
We offer a range of options to help you get started with Lightyear, taking that last little bit of stress away meaning you can focus on your suppliers, the team, start saving, and organise your financial life quickly.
What is it?
Let's Get Going (LGG) - our implementation program offers either 10 days or 21 days of priority support and training, with your own product specialist configuring your account daily. This managed service means our team do the lifting, collaborating with your nominated 'champion' on a daily basis. By the end of the program Lightyear guarantees to have the bulk of your AP automated, your team trained, confident and upskilled to self-administer your Lightyear account(s) moving forward.
All you need to worry about is approving your bills (and if necessary, Purchase Orders), and coming to terms with having all that extra time and space where your filing cabinets used to be.
"Not much not to like! You get a month's free to trial Lightyear and set everything up. We could trial the product at no cost (including excellent help from Charlie), and the paid implementation assistance was best in market (& cheap!)."
Daniel D, Finance Manager, Not For Profit.
