Salary benchmarks
Our take
Dext was the first software company to automatically process information from uploaded images of receipts and invoices, cutting down the time lost to manually sorting them.
There's a good in-built virality for this kind of business, with accountants recommending the product to their customers as it makes both of their lives easier.
Dext has made several key hires to continue its growth trajectory, including a new CEO, CPO and Technology Officer. It will be important for them to continue to stay at the forefront of the technology, add on more useful features and continue forging partnerships with accountancy companies to stay ahead of the competition.
