/Here at Lodestar, we know that time is your most valuable resource.
Running a business means balancing multiple tasks everyday—and when it comes to accounting, it can often feel like you’re drowning in paperwork and receipts.
When we look after your bookkeeping, you will be set up onto a software called Dext. Recently, Dext has introduced some fantastic new features that can save you even more time, reduce manual errors, and make your financial management smoother and more accurate.
In this blog post, we’ll walk you through some of the latest updates coming to Dext and explain how these new tools can help your business stay organised and efficient.
Upload PDF Files Directly via the Dext Mobile App
As a business owner, you're probably always on the go.

But now, with Dext’s new mobile app feature, uploading PDF files has never been easier.
Using the in-app gallery (available on both iOS and Android devices), simply snap a photo or select your PDF file and send it directly into Dext’s secure system.
Dext has also added Share Sheet importing - with just a few taps, you can select and upload documents straight to your Dext account, whether they’re saved in your cloud storage, local file system, or elsewhere.
