DataSnipper

Audit automation inside Excel, from evidence collection to reconciliation.

smallmid

Overview

DataSnipper is an Excel add-in for small and mid-sized audit firms that handles evidence collection, document extraction, automated reconciliation, and AI-assisted cross-referencing without leaving the spreadsheet. Audit teams already live in spreadsheets, so DataSnipper handles AI-assisted document work without asking your firm to move to something new.

It covers four areas. Collect keeps evidence organised and retrievable. Extract pulls structured data from PDFs, scanned documents, and bank statements. Match automates reconciliation between source documents and working papers, with a full traceability trail. Analyze surfaces AI-suggested answers alongside the supporting evidence so auditors can accept, change, or override.

Two add-ons extend the core: the Financial Statement Suite for disclosure work, and UpLink, which lets clients submit documents directly and cuts down the email chase at the start of an engagement.

DataSnipper does not publish its pricing. It is quoted directly by the vendor and scales with your team size and the capabilities you need, with more advanced AI extraction and enterprise controls available on the higher plans. A trial is available.

DataSnipper has over 600,000 users across 175 countries and serves external audit, internal audit, tax, financial control, and government audit teams. It suits small and mid-sized firms that want AI-assisted audit capability without committing to a full platform change.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Small to mid-sized firms that need document matching and reconciliation traceability for fieldwork.
  • Tax, internal audit, and financial control teams that pull data from PDFs, scans, and bank statements.

Cons

  • Firms that prefer a fully cloud-based audit platform over an Excel add-in.
  • Solo practitioners with no audit or assurance work. DataSnipper is built for engagement teams.
  • Teams doing mostly advisory or analysis work with little source-document tie-out, where the Excel matching engine adds less value.
