Accounting Automation with Dext Prepare and Dext Commerce

As businesses evolve in the digital era, traditional accounting practices can no longer keep up with the pace of modern companies. To improve business financial efficiency and unlock new avenues for growth, business owners are now discovering what technology can do.

Cloud-based accounting tools are not exclusive to accountants and bookkeepers – in fact, professionals strongly encourage entrepreneurs to embrace digital solutions in their everyday financial admin. As a result, accounting automation is quickly becoming the go-to solution for businesses looking to streamline their financial processes and become more efficient.

By leveraging advanced tools like Dext Prepare and Dext Commerce, for example, business owners can enjoy a plethora of benefits, from time and cost savings to better cash flow management and scalability. 

Here, we’ll explore the advantages of adopting accounting automation and how it can transform your business financial efficiency.

1. Streamlined Admin and Finance Processes

Accounting automation solutions like Dext Prepare and Dext Commerce simplify your financial operations by seamlessly integrating with your existing accounting software, seller platforms and invoicing tools, amongst others. That means you can fully automate the collection, categorisation and reconciliation of all your business’s financial data – from paper receipts to online sales. When everything is streamlined, it’s much easier to manage your books, ensure the business is tax-ready and keep track of day-to-day admin. 

2. Time Savings: Eliminate Manual Data Entry

One of the most significant benefits of accounting automation on your business financial efficiency is the elimination of manual data entry. By automating the input of financial data, you can save countless hours that would have been spent on error-prone manual tasks. This newfound time can be dedicated to more value-added activities that help your business grow.

You can save hours every week by using Dext Prepare to snap and extract expenses data from receipts, invoices and bank statements. If your business is online and/or takes digital payments, Dext Commerce will automatically gather and sort all your sales data from multiple platforms – saving you even more time!

3. Cost Reductions in the Long Run

While investing in accounting tools may seem like an added expense at first, the long-term savings far outweigh the initial cost. By eliminating manual data entry and reducing the potential for errors, you can save on labour costs and reduce the risk of financial mistakes that can cause costly fines. Plus, remember that your own time is valuable, too – the less you spend on tedious administrative tasks, the more you can invest back into your business. In the long run, adopting accounting automation will lead to a healthier bottom line for your business.

4. Better Operations and Cash Flow Management

Accounting automation tools provide real-time visibility into your financial performance, enabling you to make more informed decisions and optimise cash flow management. With accurate and up-to-date information at your fingertips, you can identify trends, spot inefficiencies, and make proactive adjustments to ensure your business stays on track.

5. Work from Anywhere, Sell Anywhere

The flexibility of cloud-based accounting automation tools like Dext Prepare and Dext Commerce allows you to stay on top of your business finances from anywhere. This remote accessibility empowers you and your team to work more efficiently – and helps you adapt to the growing trend of remote work. 

Additionally, with Dext Commerce you can easily keep track of your sales transactions – doesn’t matter where in the world your customers are – and ensure you’re always paying the right tax in each region.

6. Dedicate More Time to Customers

By automating your accounting and bookkeeping processes, you can free up valuable time to focus on customer experience. After all, providing exceptional customer service and nurturing customer relationships are key components to growing any business. With accounting automation, you can dedicate more resources to ensure your clients are happy and engage with them more often, fostering a loyal customer base and driving revenue.

7. Happier Teams and Increased Job Satisfaction

Eliminating boring and manual tasks allows your team to spend more time on interesting and fulfilling projects. By investing in accounting automation, you’re not only improving your business operations but also contributing to a more satisfied and motivated workforce.

8. Scalability and Financial Health

Accounting automation sets the foundation for a financially healthy and scalable business. By having a clear picture of your expenses and sales data, you can make strategic decisions to secure funding, allocate resources, and expand your operations. If growing your business is on your plans, you definitely need to consider embracing technology in your everyday admin.
