Dext + Construction Companies: Faster Bank Import
Construction firms juggle CIS deductions, subcontractor payments, material costs, and retention payments — all needing accurate bank reconciliation for HMRC. If you use Dext for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for Construction Companies Using Dext
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV formatted for direct import into Dext. Convert your bank statements to Excel to quickly match CIS payments, subcontractor invoices, and material costs for VAT returns and CIS submissions.
The Construction Companies + Dext Workflow
Construction companies process bank statements to match subcontractor payments against CIS deduction certificates, reconcile material supplier invoices, track retention payments held and released on projects, and prepare monthly CIS returns for HMRC. Project managers often need bank data to verify costs against project budgets.
Key terms you'll encounter: CIS deduction, retention payment, reverse charge VAT, application for payment.
