From Snips to Alwin: How Aprio’s Audit Journey Is Evolving with DataSnipper

Q: What was your first impression of DataSnipper? 

A: My first impression of DataSnipper was how transformative it was going to make our audits. We often talk about how it helps the preparer perform tests of details. I think the impact is even bigger for reviewers, since each cell is tied to its source document. A reviewer can click on any individual cell and trace it straight back to the source, and this can reduce a lot of manual back and forth. 

Q: How would you describe your partnership with DataSnipper? 

A: We've been working with DataSnipper for about three years, and it's been incredible to see how far the platform has come. One thing I really appreciate is how consistently DataSnipper continues to innovate and introduce new capabilities. When we first started, we were mostly using the core Snips functionality, which was already incredibly valuable. Since then, the platform has continued to evolve with products like DocuMine. With the introduction of Alwin this year, it's been exciting to see how DataSnipper keeps moving forward and staying ahead of what audit teams need. 

Q: During Connect, we announced Alwin, our new agentic automation platform. What stood out to you? 

A: I love the Kanban-style board, where you see your agent move from in progress to review. It shows you what status each agent is in. I also love that you can let it run overnight without babysitting your agents all day, then come back the next morning for review. I think that will make a huge difference to our team's progress. 

Q: What is your experience of Connect? 

A: This is my second time at Connect. I attended two years ago, a colleague joined last year, and this year we're both here together. One of the biggest benefits is the opportunity to meet other industry professionals and firms using DataSnipper. We can learn how they're using the tools, how they've implemented them, and sometimes discover approaches we hadn't considered ourselves. That networking time is something we really value. 

Aprio’s experience reflects what a strong partnership can look like: growing alongside the technology, learning from peers, and finding new ways to improve how audit work gets done. As DataSnipper continues to evolve, we look forward to helping partners like Aprio get even more value from what comes next.
