Autonomous Bookkeeper. Financial Goalkeeper. Built for Trades.
Trades businesses don't fail from bad work. They fail from bad books. The Dex fixes that — automatically tracking every job, every dollar, and every deadline across your entire operation.
The Dex doesn't just record what happened. It defends your profit while it's still happening.
Every invoice, subcontractor payment, material cost, and payroll run — categorized and reconciled without you touching it. No more chasing receipts at month-end. No more guessing where the job margin went.
Sets targets per job, per crew, per entity. Watches them in real time. When a job starts bleeding or overhead creeps up, The Dex catches it before it wipes out your profit.
Not another generic accounting tool. The Dex understands jobs, crews, subs, holdbacks, and seasonal cash flow.
Labour, materials, and subs tracked against every active job. Know your margin before the invoice goes out — not after.
Seasonal crews, part-timers, subcontractors — The Dex handles CRA compliance, T4s, and payment runs. You just approve.
Deposits, draws, holdbacks, and collections mapped in real time. Know what's coming in and what's going out before it becomes a problem.
Running electrical and landscaping? Two locations? Ten acquisitions? One consolidated view across every business, every crew, every dollar. The Dex was built for operators who think in portfolios, not single shops.
Clean financials on demand — for lenders, partners, or your next acquisition target. No prep. No scramble.
The Dex plugs into the tools you already use and starts working immediately.
Links to your bank, payroll, and job management tools. No manual imports.
Every transaction tagged to the right job, entity, and cost code. Automatically.
Job margins and cash targets monitored continuously. Alerts before damage is done.
P&L by job, by entity, by portfolio. On demand. Always current.
Most trades operators find out a job lost money after it's done. The Dex tells you while you can still do something about it.

Yes. The Dex is built with Canadian data sovereignty in mind. Your data stays in Canada. For Firm-tier clients, we offer on-premise deployment — the system runs on YOUR hardware, in YOUR office. Nothing leaves your network.
No. The Dex IS your bookkeeper. It categorizes transactions, reconciles accounts, tracks job costs, and generates reports — automatically. You review and approve. That's it.
For year-end filings and professional sign-off — yes. A CPA needs to sign your Notice to Reader, review engagement, or audit. But The Dex does all the prep work, so your accountant spends hours instead of weeks. Your accounting bill drops significantly.
Three ways. First: The Dex is built specifically for trades — it understands jobs, crews, holdbacks, and seasonal cash flow. Second: your data stays in Canada, not offshore. Third: The Dex doesn't just record history — it actively defends your margins in real time.
Yes — multi-entity is core to The Dex. Run electrical, landscaping, and plumbing under one roof? Ten acquisitions across three provinces? One consolidated view. One login. Every dollar tracked to the right entity, job, and crew.
