Case Study: The Cardan Bar and Grill achieves live accounting insights and 40-50% faster bookkeeping with Lightyear Automated Accounts Payable

Automating Accounts Payable for Better Decision Making

The Cardan Bar and Grill, a hospitality business in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, wanted to reduce the heavy administrative burden of accounts payable and get more timely accounting information. By using Lightyear Automated Accounts Payable, the team looked to cut down on manual data entry and improve visibility across invoices and supplier spend.

With Lightyear Automated Accounts Payable, Cardan Bar and Grill automated invoice capture and data entry, integrated it with Xero, and gained searchable, live accounting data from any device. The result was a 40–50% reduction in bookkeeping time, accounts brought up to near real time instead of 3–4 months in arrears, and faster, more confident decision-making based on up-to-date P&Ls, balance sheets, and cash flow insight.
