Dext

The End of Manual Data Entry

Every accountant has the same nightmare: a shoebox full of crumpled receipts arriving two days before the filing deadline. Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) was built to solve exactly this. Take a photo of a receipt with your phone, forward an email invoice, or upload a PDF - Dext reads it, extracts supplier name, date, amount, VAT, and line items, then pushes it into your accounting software. Accuracy sits above 99% for well-formatted documents.

How It Actually Works

Your client snaps a receipt photo in the Dext mobile app. OCR and machine learning extract the data in seconds. The transaction appears in a queue where you review and approve it. One click publishes it to Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage. Bank feed matching suggests connections automatically. The whole process that used to take 3-5 minutes per receipt now takes about 10 seconds.

Built for Accountants, Not Just Businesses

What separates Dext from generic receipt scanners is its practice-management focus. Accountants manage multiple clients from one dashboard. Each client gets their own feed. Document collection emails let clients forward receipts without logging in. Practice-level reporting shows which clients are behind on submissions. Bulk processing handles hundreds of documents efficiently.

Where Dext Fits in Your Stack

Dext isn't accounting software - it's a data capture layer that sits in front of your accounting platform. Think of it as the front door: documents come in through Dext and flow out to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, or others. It integrates with 30+ accounting platforms. If you're already happy with your accounting tool but drowning in receipt entry, Dext is the fix.

Pricing for Practices

Dext prices per practice, not per client. The Starter plan at 24 pounds/month covers basic needs. Growing at 42 pounds/month adds more features. Business at 84 pounds/month is for larger practices. Each plan includes a certain number of client connections, with additional clients available as add-ons.
