At Dext we strive to support accountants, bookkeepers, and small business owners worldwide to better collect and understand their financial data
Last Updated: September 2022
At Dext, we are committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity and data availability of our information systems and our customers’ data. We are constantly improving our security controls and analysing their effectiveness to give you confidence in our solution.
What we’re here to do
As a leader in cloud accounting tools across the UK, APAC, US, Canada, and France, we’re passionate about advancing and improving the accounting process for all. We do this by building smart, scaleable day-to-day accounting solutions with an exceptional user experience that enhances the financial data workflow processes of accountants, bookkeepers, and businesses worldwide.
We believe that time is the greatest commodity a business can have, and no one should have to spend it doing manual data collection, manipulation, and error-spotting.
A bit about our history
2010
Michael Wood trials a pre-accounting product with Receipt Farm which focuses on removing the hassle of receipts in the bookkeeping process. After discovering the company is shutting down, he and Alexis Prenn decide to purchase Receipt Farm. Six weeks later, Alexis & Michael change the company name to Receipt Bank and start developing the product around a kitchen table.
2011
We started out by manually inputting data for our clients, but in 2011 we became the world’s first service to automate the collection and data extraction of receipts and expenses for accountants and their small business clients.
2012
In 2012 we won our first award at Xerocon as ‘UK Add-on Partner of the Year’ and we did this with only 5 employees.

2017 was another very big year for Receipt Bank. After raising our second funding round (Series B) from investors Insight Partners, we open offices in South Africa and France. We also triple our headcount and have 300+ employees.
2018
This year we rebranded and updated to the current RB logo. We also opened our Canada office and reached 450+ employees.
