Pros

“Its easy-to-use interface, cloud accessibility, and helpful automation features save a lot of time and simplify day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. While there are a few areas that could be improved, Xero has been a reliable and valuable tool for managing business finances.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“My overall experience is that the cloud-based system allows users to access their financial information from anywhere, and its integration with many third-party apps makes workflow management much more efficient for reporting and any other tasks.”
NK

Navpreet K.

Manager and CPA

“simplifies daily bookkeeping with intuitive features, real-time bank feeds, and seamless third-party integrations.”
CG

Cecilia G.

Administration

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.”
ID

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.”
EB

Emma B.

Financial Controller

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

Isabelle D.

Apprentice Accountant

Cons

“There can also be occasional syncing delays with bank feeds, and certain customization options for reports and invoices feel somewhat limited compared to other accounting software.”
RR

Rebecca R.

Production manager

“Additionally, certain features like multi-currency handling or more advanced integrations, are only available in higher-tier plans, which can make it less cost-effective for growing businesses.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Rashi B.

Treasury Accountant

“Technically, I understand they can point to the terms of service. But from a business perspective, I genuinely do not understand burning a potential long-term customer relationship over roughly $150 on an inactive account instead of showing some flexibility or goodwill.”
AB

Andrew B.

Owner

Cons

“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.”
CD

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.”
MR

Maurizio R.

Manager

“Nothing stood out but I have nothing to compare it to as its the only receipt scanning software I've used”
