Customer story
McKonly & Asbury
Based in Québec, Canada with a team of nearly 70 professionals, Audacie is a multidisciplinary consulting firm dedicated to enhancing the performance of SMEs by offering entrepreneurs personalized support and integrated solutions to facilitate business transitions or optimize growth. Audacie provides expert audit and assurance, accounting, taxation, consulting, human resources, governance and legal services to clients across various sectors including private companies and public entities, delivering tailored guidance to drive business growth and ensure regulatory compliance.
For the team at Audacie, audit work wasweighed down by a heavy load of repetitive, manual tasks—especially when matching data across documents or performing substantive testing. These inefficiencies often meant more overtime, less time for meaningful analysis, and fewer opportunities for juniors to learn from managers. The lack of standardization made reviews slower and more error-prone, and adopting new tools wasn’t always straightforward. Complex platforms with steep learning curves only added friction, delaying the very efficiency gains they were meant to deliver.
“DataSnipper has transformed our workflow by eliminating tedious manual tasks and making document verification seamless. It has not only saved us time but also improved the accuracy and quality of our work, allowing teams across departments to focus on more value-added tasks.”
Since implementing DataSnipper, Audacie has significantly improved efficiency in audit procedures and beyond. Tasks that previously required extensive manual effort now take 50% to 75% less time. Automated data extraction and matching features have streamlined workflows, reduced manual errors, and made reviews more efficient. By cross-referencing data directly to source documents in Excel, the firm ensures full traceability, improving audit quality and compliance. The adoption process was smooth thanks to DataSnipper’s intuitive interface, enabling team members to quickly integrate it into their daily routines. As a result, Audacie has achieved better time management, allowing professionals to focus on risk analysis rather than non-value-added tasks.
Substantive Testing: Audacie uses DataSnipper’s Document Matching feature to quickly reconcile financial data with supporting documents, significantly reducing time spent on manual validation.
Walkthrough Procedures: With Validation Snips and Exception Snips, Audacie efficiently documents and highlights key controls, making walkthrough procedures more structured and easier to review.
Multi-document Data Extraction: Across all departments—not just audit—Audacie leverages Form Extraction and Table Snip to extract key datapoints from multiple documents simultaneously, reducing manual input andincreasing accuracy.
Tasks that once took hours now take a fraction of the time, with processes running up to 75% faster.
Automated extraction and validation features reduce manual input and minimize the risk of human error.
