Pros

“The multi-client dashboard is especially beneficial as it ensures that I have all my clients in one place and can effortlessly switch between them and publish their receipts and invoices through to the accounting software.”

Isabelle D.

Apprentice Accountant

“I automate all my incoming bills to go straight into the Dext inbox, using my unique email provided by Dext, this significantly speeds up processing and keeps my inbox clean and tidy.”

Emma B.

Financial Controller

“I specifically like the integrations with platforms such as Xero, which allows a smooth and streamlined bookkeeping process.”

Isabelle D.

Apprentice Accountant

Pros

“I like that I can just e-mail receipts in and the feature that highlights duplicates expenses helps me match the emailed receipt to the auto generated expense from the company credit card charge.”

Charlie A.

Owner

“The mobile app and receipt scanning features are particularly useful for employees who travel frequently. While there is room for improvement in OCR accuracy and advanced reporting customization, the software offers excellent value and a comprehensive feature set that meets the needs of most businesses.”

João A.

manager

“The receipt scanning feature is genuinely practical for day-to-day use, especially for on-site purchases, and the mobile app makes it easy to log expenses in real time instead of relying on memory later.”

Sasha-Gaye E.

Principal Designer

Cons

“What I dont like is that I have to bring them in in batches by clicking manually by batch which for 500 can take a bit to load, its good that you can select up to 500 at a time - that is great. But the bad part is that after say waiting to upload a batch of 500 then again and importing them, and you go to load another 500 it loses connection and makes you log in again, so then you have to wait again for the batch to reload and download again.”

Susan T.

Founder CEO

“Sometimes whilst doing workflows in Dext it is hard to see older workflows done for the same client i.e VAT returns this could be due to the update on workflows in dext however i may not be using the function to its potential.”

Charlie D.

Accountant

“The only thing is that sometimes it might not recognize well the images when I take a picture (the OCR) so you may need to correct the information manually after uploading.”

Maurizio R.

Manager

Cons

“The limits show up when you want deeper reporting or non-standard approval logic, where you end up working around the product rather than with it.”

JayaKumar B.

Director

“I cant make certain edits on employee expense reports so I have reject them and make the EE change it.”

Ashley M.

“Running a small apparel brand means every real counts, and I can't afford to lose track of supplier expenses or sample material costs.”
