What Is Dext?

Dext is a bookkeeping automation platform that extracts data from financial documents — receipts, invoices, bank statements, and credit card statements — and pushes structured data to accounting software. Founded as Receipt Bank in 2010 in London, Dext serves accounting firms, bookkeepers, and businesses globally. It integrates natively with Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, and other accounting platforms.

5 Dext Workflows You Can Automate Today

1. Automated Expense Report Generation

"Every Friday at 5 PM, pull all processed receipts and invoices from Dext for the current week. Categorize expenses by department and type. Generate a formatted expense report in Google Sheets with totals, category breakdowns, and flagged items over budget thresholds. Post a summary to Slack #finance."

2. Duplicate and Anomaly Detection

"Every day, scan new Dext entries for potential duplicates (same vendor, amount, and date within 3 days), unusually large expenses (2x+ above category average), and missing required fields. Flag anomalies in Google Sheets and alert the finance team on Slack."

3. Stripe Revenue Reconciliation

"Every Monday, cross-reference Dext invoice data with Stripe payment records from the past 7 days. Identify mismatches between invoiced amounts and received payments, flag overdue invoices, and generate a reconciliation report in Google Sheets."

4. Vendor Spend Analysis

"On the first of each month, analyze all Dext entries from the previous month by vendor. Calculate total spend per vendor, month-over-month change, and percentage of total expenses. Identify the top 10 vendors by spend and flag any with 20%+ increases. Post to Google Sheets and Slack #finance."

5. Tax-Ready Document Organizer

"Every quarter, pull all Dext documents tagged for tax purposes. Organize by category (business travel, office supplies, professional services, etc.), verify all entries have proper documentation, and generate a tax-preparation summary in Google Sheets with category totals and supporting document counts."
