What is DataSnipper?
DataSnipper is an automation platform for audit and finance teams that works inside Microsoft Excel. It matches workpapers to source documents, extracts data and runs AI agents that carry out procedures such as tests of detail and revenue testing for human review.
DataSnipper started as an Excel add-in for matching and extracting evidence and now describes itself as an agentic automation platform. The Start plan covers automated matching, extractions, form extraction and version comparison; Accelerate adds Excel Agents, Disclosure Agents, DocuMine, AI Extractions and an Agent Builder; Elevate adds Alwin, Planning Mode, Audit Workbench, review workflows and client spaces. Users include external and internal audit, controllers, tax and government auditors. Founded in 2017 in Amsterdam, the company reached a $1 billion valuation in 2024 and names all Big Four firms as customers.
DataSnipper AI features and use cases
- Runs audit procedures end to endAlwin is DataSnipper's agentic platform for running procedures such as royalty calculations, revenue testing and tests of detail from start to finish. The agent does the repetitive steps and people review and approve the output, which shortens fieldwork on high-volume tests.
- Automates steps inside ExcelExcel Agents and Disclosure Agents work directly in the spreadsheets auditors and controllers already use, and an Agent Builder lets teams set up their own agents. Teams keep their workpaper format while handing routine steps to the software.
- Extracts data from documentsAI Extractions and AI Vision pull figures and fields from invoices, bank statements and other evidence and link them to the workpaper. Staff spend less time retyping numbers and every value stays traceable to its source page.
- Reviews contracts and long documentsDocuMine analyzes documents and surfaces the passages that matter for a procedure, for example terms in contracts. Auditors reading lease or revenue agreements find relevant clauses faster than by reading every page.
What sets DataSnipper apart
- Runs inside Microsoft Excel, so audit and finance teams keep their existing workpapers instead of moving to a new engagement system.
- Used by all Big Four audit firms and customers in more than 175 countries, according to the vendor.
- SSO is available from the entry plan, and the vendor states it does not train on customer data.

Questions to ask before you buy DataSnipper
Check which plan you need, since AI agents start with Accelerate and Alwin only comes with Elevate, and prices are set after a demo. Confirm that your Excel and Microsoft 365 setup allows the add-in. DataSnipper runs on Microsoft Azure and publishes its DPA, but the security page names no hosting region, so ask where your data is stored. The SOC 2 Type II report is available on request, and the vendor's AI Act statement should be checked against your own governance rules.
