Automate tasks
that slow you down
Our automation features help speed up your bookkeeping workflow, making you more efficient. Businesses can spend more time growing, while bookkeepers and accountants can spend more time advising clients.
Automatically categorise
Want to save even more time? Dext’s smart automation will auto-fill categories, suppliers and payment methods for expenses and invoices. So you won’t need to enter the same data month after month. You’re a bookkeeper, not a robot.
Auto publish items to your accounting software
Our Auto-Publish feature allows you to publish documents from specific suppliers or customers to your accounting software as soon as they’ve been submitted. And don’t worry, you can switch Auto-Publish on or off based on the supplier. It’s entirely up to you.
Split a transaction out into line items
You can use our Smart Split feature to create pre-defined line items for transactions submitted from a specific supplier. In other words, once it’s set, the work is done for you every time you submit an invoice from a supplier to Dext.
