Dext

Dext reads receipts, invoices, and bank statements and posts the transactions into whichever ledger your firm uses. Clients photograph receipts on their phone, a browser extension picks up bills from supplier portals, and a dedicated email address catches PDF invoices as they arrive. Categorisation rules build up from prior postings, so regular suppliers need less correction over time.

Dext works with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and Excel. The Lite tier costs $25 per user per month and covers up to 200 receipts a month. The Business tier at $50 removes the receipt cap and adds multi-firm access, client dashboards, and line-item extraction from invoices. A free trial is available; there is no permanent free tier.

The service runs in the cloud with a mobile app and is available in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and other regions. It fits solo bookkeepers through to mid-sized practices with up to around fifty staff.
