Happy Endings makes the ice cream. Dext keeps the numbers right.

Happy Endings is a values-led, ice cream sandwich business based in Hackney, London.

Challenge

Receipts went astray, and the ones that didn't had to be entered and corrected by hand. That was time Terri needed to grow the business.

Outcome

Receipts and supplier invoices now reach the books accurate and on time, giving Terri and her team back what she calls “many days” of work.

50 - 100

transactions each week

30 years

of cooking experience behind the business

Several days

of financial admin saved per month

The ice cream was the plan.

The paperwork came with it.

The receipts were the problem. Some never made it back to the kitchen, and the ones that did were entered by hand — and a wrong figure in the books takes far longer to find than a missing receipt.

Happy Endings began in 2014 as a dessert night. Six successful events later it was an ice cream business.

Terri Mercieca and her team were handling 50-100 transactions a week on top of everything else.

Another business owner saw what it was costing her and suggested Dext. Now invoices, receipts and expenses go in whichever way suits the day — by phone with the receipt scanner, email or desktop, and come out as accurate data in the accounting software Happy Endings already uses. As she put it, “I mean I don’t know why you’re not using it already!”

Ask another business owner. That's how Terri found us.

“I’d recommend Dext because it is like gold to a business.”
