Dext launches AI Connector for accounting practices.

Dext launches AI Connector for accounting practices. Fri, 23rd Oct 2026 (Yesterday) Dext has launched AI Connector for accounting and bookkeeping practices, giving users access to practice data through Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot. The feature is available at no extra cost to Dext Advanced partners in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand. The product is designed to let firms query their own data in plain language, rather than rely on general-purpose AI systems that lack financial context. Users can ask about client cash positions, health scores, workflow bottlenecks, compliance issues, data health and team performance. AI Connector pulls information from a practice's existing Dext account and returns answers based on the data already held there. Access is read-only and limited by a user's existing Dext permissions, with no ability to alter records through the tool. How it works Partners connect the service through their Dext account. AI Connector is listed in the Claude directory, available through ChatGPT plugins and works with Copilot. Once connected, users can ask questions in natural language, and the chosen AI system retrieves the relevant data from Dext. Dext said only the specific data needed to answer a query is retrieved, after which the response is processed by the selected AI provider, whether OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft. The launch comes as accounting firms use consumer and workplace AI tools more widely in day-to-day work. Dext said that shift has created risks because generic chatbot responses may not reflect a client's actual books or the operational picture across a practice. Dext already presents this information in dashboards such as Practise Insights and team performance views. AI Connector adds a conversational route to the same data, letting staff ask direct questions in the AI tools they already use. Examples include asking which clients have the lowest health scores, which clients took the most hours last month, what a client's live cash position looks like ahead of a call, or which clients are missing a dividends account before year-end. Sabby Gill, Chief Executive Officer at Dext, set out the company's position on the launch. "General-purpose AI is already part of how many practices work, but it doesn't know a practice's real numbers. AI Connector closes that gap: it puts the same Dext data our users already trust into the AI tools they're already using, so the answer they get back is grounded in their own practice, not a guess. This is an early step, and one we expect to build on," said Gill. Control and access Dext said the product has been built to retrieve information, not make decisions for the practice. That distinction matters for accountancy firms handling client records, compliance work, and operational oversight. The business said AI Connector sits on the same underlying base as its existing AI products, which have been trained on more than 2 billion receipts and invoices collected over 16 years. Dext said that work has focused specifically on accounting data rather than general text. Stephen Edginton, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Dext, said the feature was intended to support professional judgement rather than replace it. "AI Connector is built to retrieve, not to decide. It's read-only and permission-aware by design, so a partner gets an answer from their own Dext data, and the practice keeps every judgement call. That's the model we believe AI in accounting should follow, and we'll keep investing here to unlock further value for our users," said Edginton. Dext also said firms should review the data policies of whichever AI provider they choose to connect to the service. Responses are handled by the external provider selected by the user, and that provider's own rules on data use apply to that exchange. Dext is owned by IRIS Software Group and says it is used by more than 12,000 accounting and bookkeeping firms and 700,000 businesses worldwide. It processes more than 350 million documents each year.

Dext Payments launches in Canada.

Dext Payments launches in Canada. Dext, a world leading provider of AI-powered bookkeeping automation, is today announcing the launch of Dext Payments in Canada. What happened. Dext, a provider of AI-powered bookkeeping automation, has announced the launch of Dext Payments in Canada. The move extends the company's payments capability - built to work alongside its core automation platform for accountants and bookkeepers - into the Canadian market. Dext's core offering already uses AI to automate data capture and reconciliation tasks that bookkeepers and accounting firms handle manually, such as processing receipts, invoices and expense documentation. The Canadian launch of Dext Payments brings a payments layer into that same workflow, positioning the company to serve accounting professionals and the small businesses they support with a more integrated set of financial tools in the Canadian market. Why it matters. The launch reflects a broader pattern in financial technology: AI-driven automation platforms that started with a narrow task - in Dext's case, bookkeeping data capture - are expanding into adjacent functions like payments to become fuller financial operating systems for accountants and small businesses. For accounting firms and bookkeepers, bundling payments with automated bookkeeping can reduce the number of disconnected tools and manual handoffs required to manage client finances, which is where errors and delays typically occur. For technology and transformation leaders more broadly, this is another signal that AI-powered back-office tools are maturing from point solutions into platforms, with geographic expansion often following product expansion. Canadian accounting firms and small businesses evaluating financial automation now have another entrant to assess against existing payments and bookkeeping providers in the market. The renascence take. Announcements like this are easy to read as routine market expansion, but the real story is about where AI automation vendors choose to extend next - and payments is a telling choice because it sits at a trust-sensitive point in the customer journey. Bundling payments into a bookkeeping automation platform isn't just a feature add - it's a bid for a more central, ongoing role in a client's financial life, and that raises the bar on reliability and transparency rather than lowering it. Accounting firms considering Dext Payments in Canada should treat this as a trust decision as much as a workflow one: the question isn't only whether the automation saves time, but whether clients feel as confident about money moving through the system as they do about receipts being filed in it. Vendors expanding from automation into payments would do well to lead with clear communication about how errors, delays and disputes are handled, since that is usually where goodwill is won or lost, not in the automation itself.

Dext appoints Nicole Bello as Chief Revenue Officer to accelerate global growth.

Dext appoints Nicole Bello as Chief Revenue Officer to accelerate global growth. September 12, 2026 Dext, the leading provider of AI-powered bookkeeping automation, today announces the appointment of Nicole Bello as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). Nicole will lead and grow Dext's revenue organisation globally, with regional teams spanning the UK, Canada, France and Australia. She brings more than 20 years of experience building and leading sales organisations across North America and EMEA for fast-growing and large global enterprises alike. Nicole will be responsible for building one high-performing global commercial organisation, creating greater consistency across regions, sharing best practices, and putting the right foundations in place for Dext to continue scaling successfully worldwide. Central to this is delivering exceptional experiences for Dext's customers and partners globally, while maximising the opportunities presented by Dext's relationship with IRIS. Commenting on the appointment, Sabby Gill, CEO of Dext, says, "This has been a landmark year for Dext: we launched Payments, extended it to QuickBooks Online, and rolled out AI Assist. Nicole's arrival could not be better timed. She joins a company that is already indispensable to more than 12,000 accounting and bookkeeping firms and 700,000 businesses worldwide, the place where the work gets finished, not just started. Nicole is exactly the right person to lead our revenue teams as we push further into that opportunity, in every region we operate." Commenting on her appointment, Nicole Bello, Chief Revenue Officer at Dext, says, "It was the combination of the people, the ambition and the opportunity that drew me to Dext. Every conversation reinforced that Dext has a fantastic product and an incredibly talented team. My focus now is making sure that ambition is felt everywhere - in how we work with our partners, how our users experience us, and in every market we operate in. I want our global community to feel the difference: faster support, closer partnership, and a Dext that keeps getting better, together." On her immediate priorities, Nicole said her focus in the coming months will be listening, spending time with Dext's people, customers and partners across every region to understand what's working well, where the business can improve, and where new opportunities lie. These conversations will help shape the team's priorities in the months and years ahead. The appointment comes as Dext continues to scale rapidly worldwide. This year alone, the company has launched Dext Payments in the UK, its most requested feature in company history, expanded it with payroll payments in April, and in July extended it to QuickBooks Online users while introducing international payments in beta. UK customers have processed more than £11 million through the platform to date, with Payments now in beta in Canada and Australia ahead of launches scheduled for later on this year. Dext has also rolled out AI Assist to automate everyday bookkeeping decisions, such as how transactions are categorised and how data is structured for each client. Since launch, it has automated 83% of edits and reached nearly 2,500 licenses sold, with Core Guidance extended globally in May. Dext was named a G2 Momentum Leader for Summer 2026, reflecting its accelerating growth and product innovation. Dext is already the platform where accountants and bookkeepers get their work finished, not just started, and Nicole's arrival sharpens the company's ambition to deepen that position in every market it serves. Nicole brings more than two decades of experience building and leading sales organisations globally, working with businesses ranging from fast-growing companies to large multi-nationals enterprises. She joins Dext from Dayforce, where she served as Group Vice President, EMEA, leading the region's sales efforts. She previously held senior sales leadership roles at UKG and ADP across both EMEA and North America. She is known for helping teams unlock their potential, bringing people together, creating clarity, and building sustainable growth. Beyond revenue leadership, Nicole has dedicated significant time throughout her career to developing people, including mentoring and leading employee resource groups such as Women in Leadership, Black employee networks, and disability inclusion initiatives. She is proud to be serving as a judge for the 2026 Women in Sales Awards (WISA UK).

eggz vs dext: which Xero add-on is right for your business? (2026).

eggz vs dext: which Xero add-on is right for your business? (2026). By James Whitfield, Content Lead at eggz.ai · Last updated 27 June 2026 eggz and Dext are both Xero add-ons that automate financial document processing, but they solve different problems. Dext is built for high-volume receipt capture and expense management - it's the market leader in that niche. eggz is built for inbox-to-Xero automation - quotes, invoices, and bills flowing from your Gmail or Missive directly into Xero. The right choice depends entirely on where your bottleneck is. Quick comparison table. | Feature | eggz | Dext | | Gmail integration (native) | | | Partial (email forwarding) | | Missive integration | | | | | | Quote creation from email | | | | | | Invoice creation from email | | | | | | Inbound bill capture (email) | | | | | | Physical receipt capture (mobile) | | | | | | Expense management | Limited | | Full | | Supplier rules / auto-coding | Basic | | Advanced | | Xero App Store listing | Pending | | Platinum Partner | | Xero App Store rating | - | 4.8 (1,000+ reviews) | | Australia-specific | | | | | | GST handling | | | | | | Starting price (AUD) | ~$29/month* | ~$38/month | | Free trial | | | | | *eggz founding member pricing: 50% off annual plans for the first 100 customers. What eggz does well. eggz is built around one idea: your email inbox is where financial work starts. Most of the financial documents a service business deals with - client requests, supplier bills, contractor invoices, quote approvals - arrive by email first. eggz sits between your Gmail or Missive inbox and Xero, and handles the workflow from that starting point. The capabilities that matter: Inbox automation. Connect Gmail or Missive to eggz, and incoming financial emails are processed automatically. Supplier bills become draft bills in Xero. No forwarding to a separate address, no uploading files. Quote-to-invoice workflow. This is where eggz has no real competition in the AU market. When a client emails asking for a quote, you build it in eggz. It syncs to Xero as a quote. Client approves. eggz converts it to an invoice. The whole sequence runs without you opening Xero manually. Australia-first design. eggz is built for Australian businesses - GST handling, ATO-compliant invoicing, and a workflow that matches how AU service businesses actually operate (quote | job | invoice | paid). Where eggz is limited: it doesn't have a mobile app for snapping physical receipts, and it doesn't have the advanced supplier coding rules that Dext has built over years of development. If most of your documents are physical receipts, eggz isn't the tool for you. What dext does well. Dext (formerly Receipt Bank) has been building this product since 2010. It shows. The receipt capture is genuinely excellent - the mobile app is reliable, the OCR accuracy is high, and the supplier rules mean that once you've processed a supplier once, future documents from that supplier are coded automatically. Dext's review record on the Xero App Store - 4.8 stars from over 1,000 reviews - is earned. Bookkeepers love Dext because it standardises how client data arrives in Xero. Instead of getting a pile of unorganised receipts at month end, everything is coded and ready to review. Where Dext is limited: it's designed for the receipt-and-expense workflow, not the full invoice cycle. If you need to create quotes from client emails or send invoices directly, Dext doesn't handle that. You'd still be creating those documents manually in Xero. And the pricing is higher, with the more powerful features available only on higher-tier plans. The real question: where does your admin time go? This is the only comparison that matters for deciding between eggz and Dext. If your biggest time cost is entering bills and expenses: You receive physical receipts, your team submits expense claims, and you have suppliers whose bills you need to code every month. Dext is designed precisely for this. Its mobile receipt capture and supplier coding rules are industry-leading. If your biggest time cost is quoting, invoicing, and bill processing from email: Customer requests come by email. You quote, they approve, you invoice, they pay. Supplier bills arrive by email as PDFs. eggz automates this chain. The quote-to-invoice conversion alone saves most users an hour a week. If you have both problems: Some businesses use both tools. eggz handles the inbox automation and quoting workflow, Dext handles physical receipt capture. They're not competing for the same workflow. Pricing: what you actually pay. Dext pricing has changed in 2026. Check dext.com for current Australian rates, as they vary by plan tier. Expect to pay more for the full feature set that includes supplier rules and multi-user access. eggz starts at approximately $29/month with current founding member pricing (50% off annual plans for the first 100 customers). The pricing scales with team size and document volume. For a solo freelancer or small service business deciding between the two: if you don't have physical receipts to capture, eggz at the lower price point is likely the better fit. Who each tool is for. Choose eggz if: * You run a service business that quotes and invoices clients * You use Gmail or Missive as your primary inbox * Your supplier bills arrive by email * You need the quote | invoice workflow automated * You're an Australian freelancer, tradie, or consultant Choose Dext if: * You have a bookkeeper managing your Xero account * High volumes of physical receipts (team expenses, business travel) * You're an accountant or bookkeeping firm managing multiple clients * Advanced supplier coding rules are important to your workflow Consider both if: * You have both inbound email bills AND physical receipt capture needs * You have a team with expense claims and you also invoice clients from email What neither tool covers. Worth knowing: neither eggz nor Dext handles payroll, bank reconciliation directly, or financial reporting. For payroll, Deputy or Xero Payroll are the relevant tools. For reporting, Spotlight Reporting is the most used Xero add-on for that. Automation tools like these handle the document flow into Xero. What happens with that data in Xero - reconciling, reporting, forecasting - is separate. Frequently asked questions. What is the main difference between eggz and Dext? Dext focuses on receipt capture and expense management, primarily through a mobile app for physical receipts and a supplier coding engine. eggz focuses on inbox-to-Xero automation, covering the full quote | invoice | bill workflow for service businesses using Gmail or Missive. Is eggz cheaper than Dext? Yes, at current pricing. eggz starts at around $29/month with founding member pricing. Dext typically starts higher, and full-featured plans are more expensive. Check both sites for current Australian pricing. Can I use both eggz and Dext with Xero? Yes. They operate in different parts of the workflow and don't conflict. eggz handles email-based documents and quoting; Dext handles physical receipt capture and expense management. Some businesses use both. Does eggz have a mobile app for receipts? Not currently. eggz is focused on email-based document automation. For mobile receipt capture, Dext is the better option. Does Dext handle quote creation? No. Dext is designed for capturing documents you receive (bills, receipts, expenses), not for creating documents you send (quotes, invoices). For the full quote-to-invoice workflow, eggz is the right tool. Which tool do bookkeepers prefer? Bookkeepers tend to prefer Dext for client expense management because of its mature supplier coding rules and multi-client management features. eggz is better suited to business owners who want to automate their own quoting and invoicing workflow without necessarily having a bookkeeper. Which is better for a tradie in Australia? For most Australian tradies, eggz makes more sense. The quote | job | invoice workflow is exactly what eggz automates. Physical receipt capture for materials purchases can be handled with Dext if needed, but the higher-priority pain point is usually the quoting and invoicing cycle. Does Dext still work after the Hubdoc shutdown? Yes. Dext is a separate product from Hubdoc. Hubdoc (Intuit) shut down in May 2026; Dext (separate company) is still operating normally. See its Hubdoc alternatives guide for more context. Ready to try eggz? Start free - connect Gmail to Xero in under 2 minutes. Founding member pricing available for the first 100 customers.
