"Automation That Eliminates Manual Posting Time"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

Automation of entry eliminates a significant amount of time spent with manual postings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

Lack of ability to match payment receipts with invoices Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your review, Brittney! We’re delighted that Dext’s bookkeeping automation software reduces manual posting and helps your business scale.

We appreciate your feedback about matching payment receipts with invoices. While Paperwork Match can attach supporting documents to existing QuickBooks Online transactions, it doesn’t apply payments to invoices. We understand how valuable a more streamlined process would be and have shared your feedback with our product team.

Thanks again for sharing your experience!

"Reduces Risk, Cuts Admin, and Speeds Up Processing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

It reduces risk, cuts down on manual admin, and makes processing faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

I’d love an all-clients dashboard that shows headline information for my non-Dext clients, in a way that makes it easy to identify which of them I should upsell Dext to.

I also wish I still had my "lifetime" deal of unlimited clients for a fixed price! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miguel Mendez of Dext

Hi Diane, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. It's great to hear that Dext is helping minimise risk, reduce manual admin, and improve both the speed and accuracy of your bookkeeping processes.

We also appreciate your suggestion for a comprehensive dashboard that includes non-Dext clients to help identify upselling opportunities. It's a very practical idea, and I've shared your feedback with our internal team for consideration. Regarding the legacy lifetime deals, we completely understand your perspective. Some time ago, we introduced client-based pricing to better align subscriptions with each practice's workload and to make bookkeeping automation more accessible across practices of different sizes.

If you'd like to review your current subscription, I'd recommend reaching out to your Account Manager. They'll be best placed to discuss the available plans and help you find the option that best suits your practice's needs. In the meantime, Practice Insights can provide a clear view of efficiency across your active Dext client base.

Thanks again for your review.

"Streamlines Bookkeeping with Automated Efficiency"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

I like Dext primarily for its data health and insights features. It helps me significantly as a fractional CFO to highlight issues and improve clients' data health scores. The rules-based automation for bookkeeping is brilliant because it cuts through or reduces my bookkeeping time and ensures quality and consistency across record-keeping. Everything is as automated as I can get it, allowing me to rely on reviews within Xero for material inaccuracies and to push data through for consistency checks. The automation also reduces human error and saves time by not having to amend transactions. I appreciate the familiarity and comfort of using Dext, especially after having tried alternatives like Hubdoc. Also, the initial setup of Dext was very easy without any real issues. Ultimately, I believe it is worth the money, as I'm encouraged to make better use of it since I have skin in the game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

I'm gonna say the weak point of Dext is myself, because you don't know what you don't know. And I'm comfortable using it to a certain degree, but I would always like to know where I am missing a trick or I should invest a bit more time in setup and automation so that I don't have to keep stepping back into it.

Darren, it is great to hear that Data Health and rules-based automation are doing the heavy lifting across your client portfolio. Regarding your point on "not knowing what you don't know," it is worth acting on that by checking out our Dext U certification. Our dedicated on-demand training sessions for Data Health, Insights, and Intelligent Workflows dive deeper into features most relevant to your advisory work, and these are all included in your subscription.

"Entering Bills in QBO Is Fast and Effortless"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

It’s very easy to enter bills into QBO—just a few clicks and it’s done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

Sometimes the brain makes poor choices for account codes, and it’s hard to tell whether the user entered the code themselves or whether the brain did it. And even if the brain suggested it, did the user actually see that suggestion, like it, and go with it—or did they not really choose it at all? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for your five-star review! We’re delighted that Dext’s bookkeeping automation software makes entering bills into QuickBooks Online fast and effortless. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback on account-code suggestions. To review any changes made to an item, we recommend checking the History tab, where you can see its activity and field changes.

"Indispensable for Efficient Accounting"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

I use Dext for its ease of use and performance, which makes it indispensable. I appreciate the simplified search in the archives, the ease of use for my clients thanks to the photos for receipts, as well as the processing of expense reports. The automation settings and the entry of accounting documents are also very simple. The intuitive application is enhanced by Dext's certification, which offers mini-exercises to fully exploit its many possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you, Lysielle! We’re delighted Dext has become indispensable to your accounting workflow and makes receipt submission simple for your clients. It’s also great to hear that you’re enjoying Dext’s certification exercises. Since you value automation, Dext AI Assist may be worth exploring - it learns from your bookkeeping decisions and can suggest or automate categories, tax treatments, descriptions and other field updates.

"Effortless Receipt Management with Dext"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

I use Dext for receipt extraction and Making Tax Digital for sole traders and landlords. I appreciate how it makes it extremely easy to upload receipts and publish to other accounting software. I really like the auto extraction and AI functionality. On Dext, I can set up rules and auto publishing, which saves a lot of time compared to manual processing. The AI also makes suggestions for what the expense may relate to. I find Dext much better and simpler to operate than QuickBooks MTD. The initial setup was very easy, taking just a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

Dext doesn't have bank reconciliations. It would be better if you can cancel subscriptions immediately rather than on an annual basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miguel Mendez of Dext

edit

Nik, sounds like auto publish and the AI suggestions are doing exactly what they should for your MTD workflow. On bank reconciliation, Dext is not built to replace that step entirely, but with Xero or QBO connected, it highlights unreconciled items so nothing slips through. On cancellations, annual plans do tend to work out cheaper if that timing flexibility matters less to you. Since you are already covering property and sole trader expenses, mileage claims might be worth a look too as you can log business travel directly in Dext using standard reimbursement rates instead of tracking it separately. Thanks for your review.

"Crucial Time-Saver for Bookkeeping, with Seamless Xero & QuickBooks Online Integration"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

Dext has been crucial in helping me expand my bookkeeping practice. It saves me a lot of time on the more mundane, basic bookkeeping tasks. The integration with Xero and QuickBooks Online is seamless, and my clients are beginning to get comfortable using it. I’ve also just started using Dext AI Assist, and I’ve found it adds even more time savings and improves the service I can provide to my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

The pricing can be a bit problematic when discussing using Dext and other software with potential clients, but I can generally work around this within my pricing structure. The performance of the Fetch connection service, however, needs considerable improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miguel Mendez of Dext

edit

It is fantastic to hear that Dext is proving instrumental in scaling your bookkeeping practice, particularly with the time savings found through our Xero and QuickBooks Online integrations and AI Assist. Regarding your pricing feedback, many firms find that incorporating the software cost into their broader service packages helps clarify the value to clients. On the Fetch connection issues, these stability gaps are frequently tied to updated supplier security protocols like 2FA; checking your login details or re-linking the source usually helps, but please do flag any persistent portal errors to support. Since you are active in Xero and QBO, you might also want to try Dextension, which lets you view original document data and historical coding directly within your accounting ledger.

"Efficient Document Management, Slight OCR Delay"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

I use Dext for extracting data from purchase invoices and receipts, which saves me time from manually entering the information and importing documents. I like the simplified views, as well as the archive and vault features for document storage. The archive feature allows me to keep copies of statements or other documents not necessarily being published to accounting software, while the Vault feature is great for storing important documents like insurance policies. The initial setup of Dext was very easy, and I appreciate how it integrates with QuickBooks and Xero. I would definitely recommend Dext to a friend or colleague, as I already have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

Sometimes the speed of the OCR is a little slow depending on the time of day. The time it takes from scanning to processing to inbox later in the day appears a lot slower to reach the inbox. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miguel Mendez of Dext

edit

David, really appreciate the review, glad to hear Dext is delivering time savings and that Archive and Vault are proving useful for your document storage. The OCR speed dipping later in the day is a fair point; extraction times can fluctuate when processing volumes are at their peak. For urgent items, you can pull them from the processing queue into your inbox to code manually, or use the Boost feature to prioritise them. Since you are already utilising Vault for organisation, it is worth setting up supplier rules so your recurring invoices are categorised automatically, further reducing the need for manual input each time.

"Processing paper a thing of the past"

5/5

What do you like best about Dext?

I love how Dext digitizes all paperwork, which means no more manual processing of till slips, supplier invoices and customer invoicing. Also, no more files with tonnes of paperwork. SARS acknowledges the validity of information saved on Dext in an electronic format. The ability to immediately see how much work is waiting for each client helps me prioritize my day efficiently. I appreciate the presetting of GL coding and supplier details, making the transfer of information effortless to the accounting platform. It's amazing that invoices can be set on auto publish, transferring directly to my accounting package without needing to touch a single key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dext?

In the beginning, the app was very simple and easy to understand, but it has grown tremendously and keeps on getting new functionality. I would have liked a training program that is continuously updated as Dext grows that is split up into small, manageable increments of no more than 15 minutes each, with a little test at the end to test your knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Miguel Mendez of Dext

edit

Lileen, really appreciate the comprehensive feedback; it is fantastic to hear that auto-publish and GL coding presets are driving such efficiency in your practice. Regarding your point on continuous training, we understand that rapid product growth requires manageable learning paths, which is why Dext U now offers eighteen modular sessions designed to be completed in short increments. To further optimise your bookkeeping workflows, it is also worth exploring AI Assist, as it learns from your historic patterns to suggest automation for repetitive tasks while ensuring you remain in total control of the final output.
