Data Health is a Dext feature that automatically reviews your clients’ accounting data from Xero or QuickBooks Online. It flags common issues, gives each client a live accuracy score, and helps your firm maintain clean, complete books without manual checking.
Data Health is available as part of the Data Health & Insights Add-On, and works with clients using Xero or QuickBooks Online.
Data Health integrates directly with your clients’ existing accounting software. Once connected, it syncs data daily to detect issues and update Health Scores automatically — no manual uploads or reconciliation needed.
Data Health identifies errors such as unreconciled bank transactions, duplicate contacts, missing invoices or bills, and incorrect VAT or tax coding. You’ll see exactly what needs fixing and what’s already been resolved.
Client files are scanned daily to ensure the Health Score reflects the most up-to-date accounting data. You can also trigger manual refreshes at any time if you’ve made corrections.
Yes. With Custom Health Scores, you can decide which checks matter most to your firm — such as reconciliation, tax, or aged receivables — and assign weightings to match your internal quality standards.
Without the best data, you can't make the best decisions. Dext automatically detects errors, cleans client data, and surfaces practice-wide insights, so you can worry less about data health and more about advisory, pricing and growth.

Dext provides accurate figures available in real time that you can turn into insight reports, enabling your team to offer clients more valuable (and more billable) advisory services.
Ensure the data you pass to your accounting software is clean, accurate, and reliable. Dext connects effortlessly to Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, and all major accounting software (and even some not-so-major ones). Once you’ve imported a client, Dext automatically updates their data every 24 hours.
Healthy books make for happy clients. But it doesn’t end there. With Dext, you can look across your clients to gain a better picture of how your practice is performing as a whole. It means you can quickly identify any areas that deserve greater attention.
Powerful visual dashboards allow you to quickly view the status of your clients’ books. Our Health Score feature also rates client data health, so you always know the quality of the numbers you’re working with. Quickly review cash positions, and which clients have paid VAT. Colour-coded markers highlight potential problems, enabling you to review and address issues. It saves time, reduces errors, and improves productivity.
Missing and duplicate data is a thorn in any bookkeeper or accountants’ side. Especially when issues are identified too late in the day. Our automated data checks help you quickly spot missing paperwork, duplicate items, mis-coded invoices, and irregular transactions. So you can be confident that your clients’ data is clean, accurate, and reliable.
