What is Dext Prepare?
Dext Prepare revolutionises your accounting workflow by making it effortless. Eliminate the manual work so you and your clients can reclaim valuable time and focus on what matters. By harnessing the power of accurate data extraction and practice efficiency insights, Dext empowers your firm with the best data, from submission to reconciliation.
What does it do?
Accurate, automated data extraction
Prepare’s award-winning data extraction reduces the errors you might make when manually entering the data yourself. You can also use Supplier Rules to extract and categorise the inputted data.
Multiple submission methods and integrations
Submit your client paperwork in a way that suits you. Snap through Mobile App, email in, or use our automated Invoice Fetch feature. With over 30 integrations, Prepare is also the most widely integrated solution in the market.
Dashboards backed by actionable insight
Day-to-day dashboards allow you to drill down into data and optimise your firm’s bookkeeping efficiency. Get actionable insight into rich data and align client activity with your own KPIs.
Key Benefits
Less manual data entry
Take the pain out of bookkeeping by removing manual data entry from your workflow and get a better view of missing paperwork. Take that time back to concentrate on creating value for your client.
Better client relationships
Save time on data processing and reinvest that time into having better conversations with clients and meeting deadlines.
Instant access to work to be done
See what your team needs to action for their clients, where there’s paperwork missing, and where there’s room to automate. Discover a real-time view of work to be done, avoiding the rush to meet deadlines at the end of the month.
