Non-profit bookkeeping software that gets the numbers right. Before anyone asks.
Donations banked, grant spend, supplier invoices, volunteer costs — Dext is the intelligent bookkeeping platform that reads each document as it arrives, checks it, and sends structured records to the accounting software you already use.
Built for charities, associations and non-profits that answer for every amount they spend
No credit card required.
A small finance team. A long list of people entitled to ask.
Trustees, funders, auditors and the people who gave the money all have a right to a straight answer about where it went. Meanwhile the paperwork arrives from staff, volunteers and suppliers, at whatever pace the year happens to be running.
Dext captures each document the moment it exists, reads it, checks it and posts a coded record into your accounting software. The picture of what was spent is assembled as you go, rather than rebuilt in the fortnight before a deadline.
With Dext, you can:
Collect receipts and invoices from staff and volunteers wherever the spending happened
Catch mistakes on the way in, rather than finding them at audit
Read supplier invoices line by line, down to the tax treatment on each one
Keep grant agreements, leases and certificates tagged, searchable and dated
Send current, coded records into the accounting software you already use
The admin shrinks. The mission doesn’t.
The admin shrinks. The mission doesn’t.
Every evening spent sorting paperwork is an evening not spent on the programme, the fundraising or the people the organisation exists for. Dext automates the capture, reading and coding of documents, so a small team can absorb a growing volume without growing.
Audit-ready as the year goes. Not the week before.
Missing receipts and inconsistent coding tend to surface at the worst possible moment. Dext stores every document against the transaction it belongs to, so producing the evidence for trustees, funders or an auditor is a search rather than a reconstruction.
Errors caught on the way in. Not after the report goes out.
A figure that is wrong in the ledger is wrong in everything built on top of it. Dext turns invoices, receipts and bank statements into structured data at over 99% accuracy and flags what does not look right, so putting mistakes straight stops being a monthly job.
Volunteers give you their Saturday. Don’t spend it chasing them.
Anyone you invite can send a receipt in from their phone, by email or on WhatsApp, and it arrives read and coded. Nobody has to keep hold of paper until somebody remembers to ask for it.
Grants, donations, running costs. One workflow underneath.
What the paperwork relates to changes. What happens to it does not: captured, read, checked, coded and sent through to your accounting software.
Each part of the platform doing a piece of the same job
Captured at the point of spend. Not weeks after it.
Staff and volunteers send documents in by phone, email, WhatsApp or desktop. Dext reads the supplier, date, amount and tax off each one and checks the detail before it goes anywhere near your books.
The coding decisions that keep repeating. Automated.
Dext picks up how your organisation treats each supplier and each kind of cost, then applies that treatment consistently to everything that follows. You review and approve; the repeats stop asking.
Every agreement filed and tagged. Every date in front of you.
Vault is intelligent document storage for the paperwork that isn’t an invoice: grant agreements, leases, insurance certificates and policies. It tags each file and surfaces the renewal and review dates while there is still time to act on them.
Claims arrive sorted. Approval becomes a decision, not a chase.
Expense claims and supplier invoices route to whoever signs them off, with the document attached to the amount. Approve, or send it back with a comment. Without switching tools.
Your ledger stays where it is. Dext keeps it fed.
Dext sits in front of the accounting software you already use, sending across records that are coded, checked and current. Nothing about your existing setup has to change.

Bookkeeping for nonprofits, in plain terms. The questions that come up first.
It works alongside it. Dext is not a ledger and it is not a fund accounting system; it is the bookkeeping layer in front of whatever you already keep the accounts in. Documents come into Dext, get read, checked and coded, and the finished records go through to your accounting software.
Yes. Every document stays stored against the transaction it relates to and stays searchable, so when an auditor, funder or trustee asks for the evidence behind a figure, you retrieve it rather than rebuild it. The records are put together across the year, not in the rush before the deadline.
Capture, extraction, coding, approval routing and publishing through to your accounting software are all automated. You still run the process and you still approve what goes across — Dext does the work inside it, which is why a two-person finance team can handle the volume of a much larger one.
Yes. Anyone you invite can photograph a receipt, forward an email or send a document on WhatsApp, and Dext reads it on arrival. It means the record exists from the moment the money is spent, which is the only reliable time to capture it.
Dext connects to 36+ accounting platforms, including Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent, plus over 11,500 banks. Plenty of organisations share the account with the accountant or bookkeeper who prepares the year-end, so both sides are looking at the same documents and the same coding.
Yes — supplier invoices, credit notes, bank statements and supplier statements, read line by line where the detail matters. Dext also checks a supplier statement against the invoices behind it and flags anything missing, duplicated or out by an amount.
One platform, rather more than you came for
