Automated bookkeeping software for accountants.
Clean on arrival.
Hours go on chasing client documents and fixing how they were coded, and every error that gets through compounds downstream. Dext is the intelligent bookkeeping automation platform that runs capture, processing, approvals and payments in one place, alongside the accounting software you already use. AI automates the repetitive work. Your expertise decides the rest.
No credit card required.
The admin that repeats across every client.

Paper copies, bank statement PDFs, e-commerce exports — collect costs from wherever they actually come from, and Dext reads out the details your ledger needs.
1. Collect
Clients send invoices, receipts and bank statements by mobile, email, WhatsApp or desktop, and Dext fetches recurring invoices on its own. Itemised transactions come in from retailers, marketplaces, payment providers and point-of-sale systems too.
2. Process
Dext extracts the detail at over 99% accuracy — supplier, dates, amounts, tax and line items — and codes it the way this client has been coded before. Anything that does not agree comes back flagged rather than passed through.
3. Publish
Approved data goes to the accounting software you already use, and setting up the connection takes about a minute. The document stays stored and searchable in Dext afterwards, so the evidence sits with the entry when someone asks about it.
Capture, extraction, categorisation and processing run across the whole client base, so your team's hours go to advice rather than to correcting what came in wrong.
One decision per supplier. Applied to every client who uses them.
Categories, suppliers, tax codes and payment methods fill themselves in on recurring costs. Your team's judgement is captured once and automated consistently after that, which is where most of the corrections stop coming from.
Trusted suppliers publish themselves. The rest wait for you.
Turn Auto-Publish on for the suppliers whose documents never need a second look, and off for the ones that do. Nothing reaches the general ledger without the sign-off you decided it needed.
One invoice, split the way the client codes it. From the first one on.
Smart Split holds pre-defined line items for a supplier, so a bill that spans several accounts arrives already broken out. Nobody re-splits it by hand at the end of the month.

Reporting, compliance and advisory work is only as sound as the data underneath it. Dext checks what arrives, flags what does not add up, and shows your team the state of every client's records at a glance.
The gap shows up while it is still cheap to close.
Missing documents, incorrect amounts and lines that do not reconcile are flagged as they arrive, so your team resolves them in the month they belong to rather than the quarter after.
See the true state of a client's books. Before you quote the work.
Health Score shows how complete and accurate each client's records really are, so your team knows where the gaps sit and what the job is actually worth.
Advice days after the records land. Not weeks.
When the numbers are current, the client conversation moves from what happened last quarter to what to do next. The reports come out of data that was already right.
Dext gives your team the same process across locations, clients and entities, so the quality of a file does not depend on who picked it up.
Every client on one screen. Health Score included.
See the state of each client's data, what is still outstanding and who is working on it, without opening a single file.
Dashboards your team plans from. Not just reports they read.
Shareable views of data quality across the whole client base, plus a Deadlines Dashboard that makes deadline management the same job in every corner of the practice.
The checklist in someone's head. Now in the workflow.
The recurring checks and subtasks live in one place your team can see and work on together, so a deadline no longer depends on somebody remembering it.
Clients submit however they work. It all lands in one queue.
Mobile, email, WhatsApp or desktop — however each client prefers to send invoices, receipts and statements, Dext takes them in and gets them into the workflow. No reminders, no reformatting, no waiting until the week before the deadline.
Categorised, checked and de-duplicated. Before anyone reviews it.
Dext reads each document at over 99% accuracy, applies the categories the client has been coded with before, spots duplicates and routes the report to the right approver. What reaches your team is data to review, not errors to unpick.
Publish on arrival, or hold it for review. Set it supplier by supplier.
Rules for recurring costs send approved documents to the accounting software you already use as they arrive, matched against the records that are there. Where a client needs a closer look, switch the rule off and nothing moves without your sign-off.
