Bookkeeping relies on judgement, context, and constant decisions across clients.
Dext already provides powerful bookkeeping automation -AI Assist takes it further. It learns how your team categorises, corrects, and reviews transactions, then turns that expertise into intelligent automation.
The result is greater consistency, efficiency, and automation that scales across clients while adapting to individual client nuances.
Reduce time spent on categorisation, applying tax rules and corrections across your practice and handle client specific nuances automatically.
Capture how your team handles transactions and apply those decisions consistently across clients, suppliers, and documents.
Spend less time on manual processing so your team can focus on higher-value client conversations and strategic work.
Maintain full visibility and control over how automation is applied across your workflows and clients.
See how Dext Assist learns from your bookkeeping decisions and turns that knowledge into intelligent automation.
Every time your team corrects a transaction, applies a tax rule, or changes a category, AI Assist learns from that decision.
Over time it builds an understanding of how your firm handles suppliers, documents, and client-specific nuances turning everyday bookkeeping decisions into knowledge.
Using what it has learned, AI Assist generates tailored guidance to help automate repetitive bookkeeping tasks.
This guidance reflects your firm’s standards and client nuances, handles tax treatment, categorisation patterns, and client-specific workflows more efficiently.
AI Assist doesn’t just give answers - it shows you why.
Every suggestion comes with a clear explanation, so your team can understand the reasoning before accepting it.
This transparency ensures your firm’s standards are always maintained.
Your team decides how automation is applied.
Review, refine, reject, or auto-apply suggestions across your workflows. You can apply automation practice-wide or manage it at the client level.
Nothing happens without your say-so.
Create your own guidance to define how the AI agent behaves, helping take automation even further to adapt to new clients, workflows or edge cases.
Here are some of the ways AI Assist can automate key bookkeeping tasks, from tax treatment and transaction categorisation to workflow automation and client-specific rules.
Apply tax treatment accurately and consistently across all your clients, helping reduce risk and maintain compliance.
Automatically categorise transactions using document context and your firm’s historical bookkeeping decisions – not just static rules.
Automate everyday bookkeeping steps such as reviewing transactions, applying categories, and processing documents across your workflows.
Remember client-specific rules and nuances so they are automatically applied across future documents.
Automatically detect missing or incorrect document fields and correct or flag them, improving data accuracy and reducing manual review work.
Dext offers over 30 accounting software integrations and connects with over 11,500 banks and institutions. This means you can use Dext at the heart of your accounting and bookkeeping workflows without any worries.
The biggest value of Dext AI Assist is in reducing the need to review routine transactions, because the system is applying decisions consistently in the background. That not only saves time, but also reduces errors and allows us to focus on the work that really needs attention. It changes how you think about scaling bookkeeping; using technology to handle more of the routine work, so the team can focus on adding value."
