The smarter way
to use AI in your accounting practice
Most AI tools weren't built for accounting. They were built for general use, which can result in costly inaccuracies as well as wild inconsistencies.
Dext is different. Over a decade of intelligent document processing, trained on more than 2 billion documents and refined by human-led corrections, sits behind every feature we build. That expertise now powers Dext AI Assist: the trusted AI Agent you control.

Why it matters now
AI has moved from a distant idea to a practical tool firms are actively exploring. In a February 2026 poll of 134 partners, 57% called themselves AI beginners, and 46% described themselves as curious but cautious.
That caution makes sense. Used well, AI saves hours. Used poorly, it can misapply numbers or introduce errors. So the real question isn't whether to use AI. It's whether your tool was built for your work.
Before choosing a free option, ask:
Was it trained on accounting data?
Can it explain every suggestion and give you a full audit trail?
Does it keep you in the loop, so you stay in control?
Who is professionally accountable when it gets something wrong?
Does it learn from your specific decisions, or apply the same logic to every firm?
Dext AI Assist is built to answer all of these questions and more.

What AI Assist actually does
Think of AI Assist as an extra team member, one that learns your firm's way of working and gets sharper the more you use it. It analyses past actions, manual changes and document context, then proactively suggests automations for tasks that used to need manual intervention. Not generic suggestions. Ones shaped by your decisions and your clients.
Every suggestion comes with a clear reason attached. You review, reject or auto-apply. The AI handles the volume. You make the call.
"Dext AI Assist offers a more standardised version of the workflow, applying the same logic, which means the books are cleaner, answers are more accurate, and financial advice is easier."
