The essentials
A more organised route from documents to accounts
Dext is a document capture and bookkeeping tool that can collect information from receipts, invoices and other business records before passing relevant data into connected accounting software. It can reduce repetitive entry and make supporting documents easier to find.
The benefit depends on a well-designed process. Makesworth can help decide what should enter Dext, who reviews it, how items are published and how exceptions are resolved before they affect VAT returns or management reports.
