Key points via Sacra AI:

  • Founded in 2017 in Amsterdam as an Excel add-in, DataSnipper helped external auditors with repetitive data entry tasks around moving data from PDFs, images and Word docs into Excel by letting them upload documents, snip fields, and have them OCRed and added as tabular data into Excel. DataSnipper integrates easily into junior auditors’ Excel-centric workflow for cross-checking and validating numbers, with a natural seat expansion motion (at $175 per seat per month) once it gets uptake and its users’ work needs to be reviewed by others in the organization.
  • Sacra estimates that DataSnipper hit $45M in annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2023, up 150% YoY from $18M in 2022, as they expanded into the United States and landed contracts with the Big 4 accounting firms in the United States—EY, PwC, KPMG, and Deloitte. Compare to auditing SaaS AuditBoard (acquired by Hg for $3B in 2024) which hit $200M in ARR in early 2024, up 33% YoY, at the time of their acquisition and financial reporting platform Workiva (NYSE: WK), which generated $630M revenue in 2023, up 17% YoY.
  • DataSnipper’s upside hinges on going in-house and powering finance back office use cases like financial statement prep, internal audits, and tax advisory where data extraction and reconciliation is a major pain point. DataSnipper's largest strength, its Excel-centricity, is here one of its biggest risks, as its add-on form factor limits its ability to go upmarket and facilitate collaboration, decision-making, and analysis higher up in the organization.
