Dext Prepare with Receipt Bank offers a range of features that simplify the process of capturing, managing, and organizing receipts for accounting clients. Users can easily capture and send receipts, eliminating the need for manual scanning and emailing. This saves time and improves data accuracy, making reconciliation tasks easier. The software automates the transcription of data from receipts and invoices, further enhancing accuracy during reconciliations. Users also have the option to backup receipts to Dropbox and integrate with Quickbooks Online, ensuring seamless attachment of receipts to the appropriate transactions. Additionally, the app helps manage expenses by sending notifications and automatically preparing expenditure data for integration with Xero.

The Receipt Bank Practice Platform is particularly useful for teams managing multiple clients. It provides visibility and insights across all clients, enabling effective client management. Team leaders can review bookkeeping progress, identify bottlenecks, and ensure tasks are completed on time. The platform also offers key metrics for efficient client management, allowing teams to easily track missing data and submit requests to clients. Seamless communication with clients via the app reduces email clutter and supports a paperless bookkeeping service.

Overall, Dext Prepare with Receipt Bank addresses common challenges such as receipt overwhelm, tedious data entry, and inefficient communication with clients. By streamlining the process of capturing, organizing, and managing receipts, it simplifies bookkeeping tasks for both internal organization management and client management.

Convenient Mobile App: Users have found the mobile app to be convenient and easy to use, allowing them to capture receipts on the go. Multiple reviewers have praised its user-friendly interface and seamless experience when using the app.

Efficient Data Entry: The ability of Receipt Bank to track which card is being used for a purchase has been appreciated by users, as it helps avoid duplicate entries in the accounting system. Several reviewers have highlighted this feature as a time-saving solution that streamlines their data entry process.

Accurate Information Extraction: Reviewers highly regard Receipt Bank's capability to extract relevant information from receipts and invoices accurately. Many users have expressed satisfaction with the software's accuracy in extracting key details, noting that corrections are rarely needed.

Limited Date Format Options: Some users have found it irritating that Dext Prepare only allows for the use of the European date format (DD MM YY). They express a desire for the option to manually enter dates in a different format to better suit their needs.

Inability to Manually Match QuickBooks Online Transactions: Several reviewers have expressed frustration with the inability to manually match a record against an existing QuickBooks Online (QBO) transaction. This limitation hampers the usability of Dext Prepare for sending receipt images to QB, according to these users.

Limitations of Mobile App and Receipt Image Quality: The mobile app provided by Dext Prepare has been criticized by some users due to its limitations. These reviewers mention that the app only allows publishing of expense transactions and severely compresses receipt pictures, making large receipts unreadable.

Users highly recommend this software for its easy and fast processing of bills and invoices. They find it to be a favorite time saver at work and praise its user-friendly interface. Many users suggest giving it a try to experience the time-saving benefits firsthand. The software is considered worth the price and the time investment to learn, making it a viable option for business owners. Users advise not overthinking but rather looking at the overall benefit and time savings when considering this software. To learn more about its features, users recommend trying the free trial version and watching YouTube videos. Additionally, users suggest getting a guided demo and speaking to the company about pricing options to get the most value out of this great product.

We are using Dext Prepare for our receipt capturing platform. It makes it very easy to capture receipts, invoices, bills, and it is also very easy to upload these invoices. There are multiple ways of uploading receipts and they are very convenient. We used to scan, save copies of invoices, and email across each other but we don't need to do that anymore.
  • Mobile functionality
  • Capturing receipt/invoice information
  • Integration with accounting system
  • Price
Application suits well to multiple user structure where users buy and pay expenses on the go so each user would have their own mobile app and access to Dext Prepare and soon after the purchase, they take a picture of the receipt and upload so finance team can access the information straight away. It would not suit well where a business has very few users who pay the bills and most bills are on the cloud (via emails, all-digital in the first place). Because these bills can be emailed to the accounting system in the first place anyway or other software providers where monthly subscription is much cheaper.

  • We used to spend 45 min for day to sort out the bills and push them to the accounting system but now it takes only 10-15 min max and there is less error.
Dext Prepare mobile application has far better functionality compared to Hubdoc or Expensify. In the mobile application, user can take a picture of multiple pages invoices, one invoice at a time or in bulk all together. In the mobile application, user also have the option of adding some notes so finance team can review and take action on it.

Dext Prepare's usability is great, it has lots of functions and you can scan any type of document, including hard copy handwritten documents. It is not very accurate but it is handwritten!! Apart from it, you can use multiple functions like one page at a time, multiple, in bulk. You can send emails with multiple attachments and one of the greatest function is the mobile application capabilities.
Overall support is pretty good. Sometimes, support does not understand exactly what you are after and it would be great to have the option to call and discuss with someone on the phone but I am not sure if it has changed. It has been more than a year since I needed any support and emails, live chat - they get back to you very quickly.

Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank) makes it easy for accounting clients to capture and send receipts to us. We can then easily back these up to Dropbox for them and also send them to QuickBooks Online to be attached to the appropriate transactions. As an accounting firm this is a great tool. It generally does a good job tracking which card is being used to pay for things so it can send the transaction to the correct QB register. Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank) can also be used to create expense reimbursement reports based on submitted receipts, and will send them to QBO for payment.
  • Mobile app to capture receipts on the go
  • Tracks which card is being used for a purchase
  • Matches receipts against recent existing QBO entries to help avoid duplicate entries
  • It is good at extracting relevant information from receipts and invoices
  • It tracks emailed invoices by the destination rather than the origin, unlike QB's receipt service.
  • Their ongoing insistence on only using European formatted dates (DD/MM/YY) is a constant irritation every single time I have to manually enter a date
  • There isn't a way to manually match a record against an existing QBO transaction. It either finds it or you can't use Dext to send the receipt image to QB.
  • The mobile app is extremely limited. You cannot publish any type of transaction other than an expense.
  • The mobile app severely compresses pictures of receipts, which can make large receipts literally unreadable and defeating the purpose of capturing it.
It is great for accounting firms. Easy to add and administer client accounts. Easy to integrate with QuickBooks Online. Easy for clients to capture and submit receipts on the go.

It is hard to use for manual data entry, and if your clients frequently have very long receipts the Dext Mobile app does not work well as it compresses the image to the point where it is completely illegible.

It does not seem to be designed for business owners to use directly rather than using it through their accounting firm.

  • It is part of our outsourced accounting services package. Our clients like using it and appreciate not having to keep copies of physical receipts.
I have never been able to get Expensify to work for me. The reports are just completely unintuitive and I end up having my client generate the report I need and send it to me instead.

For QBO the restriction on which email addresses can send receipts is too limiting. They also do not extract data well and the overall system is very clunky compared to Dext. Of course the trade-off there is that you aren't paying a separate monthly subscription fee.
Manual data entry is annoying due to the way they format the dates.

There is not a way to manually match a receipt to an existing transaction in QBO. It usually finds them, but if it does not you are sunk.

Overall the product is good and I would recommend it to accounting firms for their clients.
I have not had to contact support very many times for Dext Prepare (with Receipt Bank) in the 2+ years I have been using it. However, when I do they are generally responsive and helpful. Their US support and sales team seems to be based on the east coast and so they do not offer support during all of our working hours, which is annoying.

Dext Prepare is great to snap a receipt on the run and have it entered straight into the accounting system. This can be out for coffee, a meal, travel expenses, whatever you get a receipt for. You can safely throw the receipt away as you will have a digital copy to refer to. No need to carry all those receipts around!
  • Convenient.
  • Easy to use.
  • Stress free.
  • e-Invoicing - needs to support it.
  • Sometimes errors still creep in.
Great for capturing physical receipts you have or PDFs that are emailed to you. It doesn't handle e-Invoicing yet but it is logical they will add it.

  • Dext has helped reduce the time I need to submit my expenses.
  • I don't lose receipts now - so this effectively adds money back into my pocket (as the company covers all expenses with receipts).
Dext Prepare has a much larger marketing budget. The service is similar, but we just hear about Dext Prepare more.
Very easy to use.
I haven't had to use their support - I assume it is good, but the story of not needing it is better.

Any of our team that travel or meet with clients face to face use Dext, including Management, Sales, and Marketing.
We use an external bookkeeper who keeps on top of Dext for us. There is no need for inhouse support. It is easy to use.
  • Travel receipts
  • Coffee receipts
  • Any emailed PDFs
  • Client lunches
  • expense claims are much easier using Dext. We get them done on time and don't need to carry/store many receipts
  • Sending any emailed PDF invoice has been great.
  • When they get Peppol eInvoicing it will be more useful.
Dext is the best way for us to manage our business expenses. Physical and PDF receipts/invoices will be around for a while, but the move to eInvoicing is very good and we look forward to Dext adding this feature.

We use ReceiptBank across the organization for the tracking of receipts and expenses. It addresses the business problem of 'receipt overwhelm' - it allows us to be more efficient with the tracking of receipts and expenses. It also enhances the accuracy of our expenses and therefore the accuracy and timeliness of our financial statements.
  • The accuracy of the expense allocation is excellent
  • Very timely in having the receipts/expenses ready for publishing to Xero (our accounting system)
  • The Android app is very good - the image capture feature is very easy to use
  • It would be great if the receipt/expense could be published through the Android app rather than having to go the web version to publish expenses
  • At times the currency is not captured accurately from the receipts (but this is a rare occurrence)
Well suited to any business (sole proprietor, partnership or corporation) that has team members with expenses and receipts. It is also well suited for any business that wants to improve its expense control and accuracy of expense tracking and allocations.
  • 100% of our receipts and expenses are now captured and tracked accurately
  • 100% of expenses are allocated to the correct cost centre
  • 100% of sales tax is captured and reported accurately
Receipt Bank is superior to Wave in terms of its accuracy of reporting and allocating expenses. Even though there is a fee for Receipt Bank and Wave is free, the monthly fee for Receipt Bank is well worth the money, given the benefits

Receipt Bank Practice Platform has been implemented to make managing multiple clients on Receipt Bank more efficient. It allows visibility across all clients proving insights and information vital to managing clients. It is used across the organisation by all team members. It provides key metrics for the team to effectively manage clients' usage of receipt bank. It allows them to identify where key data is missing and needs to be submitted by the clients. It allows the team leaders to review the bookkeeping progress and identify bottlenecks that will inhibit tasks being completed on time. It provides seamless communication to clients via the app so as not to add more emails to their inbox that may go unnoticed. It assists in our delivery of a paperless free bookkeeping service.
  • Key metrics on the submissions by clients and any delays. This allows for early identification where client may be struggling to get the information submitted to Receipt Bank, holding up the bookkeeping processing and ultimately delays in delivery of information to the clients.
  • Identifying unprocessed receipts sitting in the clients Receipt Bank file.. This assists in managing internal workflow and aiding team members who may find they need assistance in completing key tasks.
  • Identifying which clients are using Receipt Bank effectively and which clients need assistance. This can provide the opportunity to discuss with all clients what works well for them and what needs improvement by sharing some of the wins from other clients.
  • Providing managers the ability to review with ease the progress of Receipt Bank processing by client and by bookkeeper. This allows them to identify issues literally before they occur.
  • Receipt Bank Practice Platform has many great features. As they develop the platform I would like to see a rigorous review of all features so as not to add too many and overwhelm my team.
  • Having the flexibility to pick and choose from a suite of features and implement the ones that best suit my practice. A tailor made Receipt Bank Practice Platform. this would allow my practice to grow into the features rather than be overwhelmed by too many.
Receipt Bank Practice Platform is well suited when you have a lot of clients on Receipt Bank. We had over 90% of all clients on Receipt Bank so it was a very useful tool. In the early stages of bringing on new clients to Receipt Bank, it may not be as effective. Once you get to 10+ I believe it becomes a game changer. Is all about managing the bookkeeping process internally and Practice Platform helps streamline this process.
  • Receipt Bank Practice Platform had a positive impact on my practice. It saved time for all team members. It provided invaluable insights allowing for better process management.
  • Receipt Bank Practice Platform assisted in the better management of clients by providing great insights into the bookkeeping processing. It allowed for early identification of issues.
  • It delivered on our paperless offering to clients and a streamlined approach to their bookkeeping.
  • It helped us save our clients time and money.
I use both Receipt Bank Practise Platform and Hubdoc as they both have provided different features that are effective for my practise.

A product that has a dashboard is very effective. Being able to go to one location and see all information on clients is vital to better productivity. I always do a full analysis of new products before implementing them in my practice. This assessment allows me to analyse the impact on internal productivity and also external ease of use and effectiveness for clients. They must deliver on solving an issue for my practice or my clients or both,
