Dokus vs Dexxter

Dexxter is built for a sole proprietorship. Dokus is built for the business it can become.

Dexxter combines bookkeeping and tax preparation for Belgian sole proprietors. Dokus keeps one evidence-backed financial record across freelancer, BV and company structures — with the accountant in place.

The thirty-second decision

Dokus

Choose Dokus if the record must outlive the legal form.

You want your complete financial position current, verified and ready to question or hand to your accountant — now, and after incorporation.

Dexxter

Choose Dexxter if you run a sole proprietorship.

You want self-service bookkeeping and tax preparation built for a natural person, without an accountant in the loop.

The difference

What happens when the business incorporates.

Dexxter is built for the sole proprietor. The day the business becomes a BV, the tool no longer covers it — the record does.

  • Sole-proprietor tax engine versus accountant-led control for every legal form.
  • DIY bookkeeping versus a record that is verified, not just entered.
  • Tax declaration versus a continuous view of the company.

Multi-source proof

One invoice. Every source. Counted once.

The same invoice can arrive three ways — a Peppol XML from your supplier, a PDF the supplier emailed, a photo you took of the paper copy. Dokus keeps every source and treats them as one financial fact.

  • Every source is preserved.

    Nothing is deleted — each file stays attached to the record, downloadable.

  • Nothing is overwritten.

    Later arrivals join the record. They do not replace what arrived before.

  • The financial event is counted once.

    One invoice in VAT, one in cashflow — however many copies arrived.

  • Conflicts are held for review.

    When two copies disagree, Dokus groups them and asks before proceeding.

  • Cashflow, VAT and Ask use the canonical fact.

    Every total and every answer is built on the confirmed record, not on one of its copies.

Whole business financial view

Know where you stand. Not where you stood.

One panel, kept current by the documents and statements already flowing in. Bank position, expected income, committed costs, overdue invoices, obligations — and the questions the record still has.

Ask

See the answer. Ask why.

Ask answers from the confirmed record and links the documents behind every figure. It distinguishes what is known from what is not — and says so when the record cannot answer.

Accountant handoff

Your accountant remains responsible. Dokus makes sure the record is ready.

Dokus does not take over the accountant's role. It prepares the input — so the time your accountant spends goes to judgement, not to chasing.

How accountants work with Dokus
  • Confirmed documents, each with its sources attached.
  • Bank movements explained or flagged.
  • Missing evidence listed, not silent.
  • Explicit blockers, with the reason.
  • Focused upload requests instead of mail chases.
  • Read-only accountant access to the same record.
  • Your existing accounting software stays in place.

Starting without a migration

No ledger migration project. Start with the current financial flow.

Historical books stay with the accountant or your current system. New documents, uploads and statements start building the Dokus record from today — whatever legal form comes next.

Dokus does not import a Dexxter ledger, and none is implied — the current flow becomes the record.

Where Dexxter fits

Dexxter is a strong sole-proprietor tool.

These are the cases where Dexxter is the right tool.

  • A sole-proprietor tax engine.
  • DIY bookkeeping.
  • Personal-tax workflows.

What the price includes is the point.

Dokus: Free forever for the record, Core at €29 a month, excl. VAT, for unlimited sending, the bank feed, and Ask without a monthly limit.

Dexxter: €20 or €25 a month, excl. VAT, or €180/€240 a year.

What the price includes

  • No per-invoice charge.
  • No per-user charge.
  • Peppol receiving free and unlimited; five sends a month on Free.
  • Unlimited Peppol sending, the bank feed, your position, and Ask without a monthly limit.
  • Accountant access included.

Free keeps the record correct. Core keeps it current and acts on it.

Questions

Three questions that decide it

Does Dokus replace my accountant?

No. Your accountant validates and files. Dokus keeps the underlying financial record complete, current and ready. Dexxter is built for self-service bookkeeping; Dokus is built for the accountant-led model — one record across freelancer and company structures.

Can I start without migrating my ledger?

Yes. There is no ledger migration project. Historical books stay where they are; new documents, uploads and statements start building the Dokus record from today.

What happens to my existing workflow or Peppol registration?

Forward your inbox, keep receiving Peppol invoices (Dokus receives on every plan, Free included), and import statements as CSV or PDF. One nuance: a business holds one Peppol access-point registration at a time, so you re-register with Dokus's access point, Recommand — the same identity verification, once.

One financial record before and after incorporation.

Start with the free plan. The record starts with the next document that arrives.
