What are the benefits of using Dext?

Dext software allows you to electronically store your receipts and invoices and you can even capture them in real time, so no fear of missing paperwork. Whether you choose to use it for your own bookkeeping or use it alongside your bookkeeper, Dext will definitely help to streamline your processes. LJM Bookkeeping believes it is a vital piece of software in our conquest to guarantee accuracy, continuity and efficiency in your bookkeeping.


Let’s take a look at why we use Dext.


Go Paperless
 - Dext enables you to go paper free with your expenses. No more shoe box hoarding. Simply upload your invoices and receipts via the app or on your computer. There’s even the option to forward emails containing attachments to your very own inbox within Dext. At least this way you know that the paperwork has been dealt with, with a simple click of a button. Keeping your desk free of paperwork helps you to stay organised with a clear mind.


Saves time
 - Capturing all your invoices and receipts in one place saves you so much time. No more searching through bags, pockets, glove compartments, you name it! Never miss an expense with integration with your accounting software and bank accounts. No more searching through your bank statements in order to reconcile your transactions. Your bookkeeper can set up automations so that recurring invoices are automatically recognised. It’s especially useful when working alongside a bookkeeper as they can see your data in real time as you upload it, keeping on top of your transactions frequently to ensure accurate bookkeeping.


Real time data
 - The Dext mobile app means that you can capture your receipts, hassle free! Simply take a picture of your receipt, with the option to upload multiple receipts at once they can be combined as one transaction or as separate receipts. They are instantly waiting for your bookkeeper to review in Dext. This allows your bookkeeper to be anywhere in the country or even world, they can virtually take care of your books, through this great cloud software.


Streamline your bookkeeping with integration
 - As I mentioned previously integration with Dext saves you time and also money. Connecting your Dext software to your bank accounts and Xero is really easy and we can guide you through it. Automations and integration rules out the likelihood of human error. Dexts intelligent software recognises any duplicated paperwork and ensures accuracy of your bookkeeping. 


There is of course similar software out there to Dext, but from experience we find that Dext is the best to use alongside Xero cloud accounting to support our clients. This software alongside our processes means that we offer our clients an accounting eco system which grows with your business.
