Recharge, founded in 2010, is a global leader in digital prepaid payments. Headquartered in Amsterdam, the company employs over 180 people and offers an online platform for topping up prepaid credit for mobile, gaming, and entertainment services in over 150 countries.
At Recharge, the finance team plays a critical role in ensuring audit readiness. The team began exploring technologies that could better support the Financial Control team with their audit preparation workflows. Before implementing DataSnipper, financial controllers managed reconciliations and walkthroughs using Excel.
Reconciliations were cluttered with scattered screenshots and unstructured documentation, making it difficult to trace the audit story or maintain consistency year over year. Walkthrough procedures were especially time-consuming, requiring users to scroll through hundreds of Excel rows interspersed with oversized screenshots and fragmented commentary. The team needed a better way to structure financial documentation and streamline recurring audit tasks.
“Now with DataSnipper, even the routine processes have become part of a cleaner, smarter workflow that actually supports our thinking, not just our to-do list.”
Since implementing DataSnipper, the finance team at Recharge has transformed their management of reconciliations, audit readiness, and payment approvals. What was once a cluttered and time-consuming process with manual screenshots, scattered commentary, and repetitive tasks has become structured, efficient, and easy to review.
The rollout gained momentum when the team demonstrated DataSnipper's ability to instantly clarify and structure key processes. By organizing workflows into clear steps - initiation, processing, approval, and reporting, their use of the solution improved efficiency for both preparers and reviewers, who can now track the documentation trail effortlessly. This clear value proposition helped secure leadership buy-in.
Recharge uses DataSnipper extensively to support procedures such as invoice testing, search for unrecorded liabilities, and payments testing. Previously, preparing for audits required renaming documents manually; With DataSnipper, those files are dropped directly into the workbook and matched automatically, eliminating the need for manual labeling. As a result, audit documentation is now ready to be sent as a DataSnipper workbook, requiring minimal processing by the external auditors.
Having audit-ready, clearly structured workpapers saves not just time, but also creates a smoother review experience for the auditors. It’s a shift from reactive prep to proactive readiness, giving the audit team everything they need, exactly how they need it.
Beyond preparations, the benefits of DataSnipper are felt across the finance team’s daily routines; from weekly payment approvals to walkthrough documentation, its easier for all the stakeholders - from preparers to C-level executives to review. Time-sensitive approvals are no longer slowed down by cluttered spreadsheets.
What’s more, the platform has elevated the team’s experience by replacing tedious data entry with more meaningful, productive tasks. Whether it’s creating validation points in contracts or extracting data from complex PDFs, team members now feel like their work is clearer and more impactful with DataSnipper enabling this shift.
Renaming and preparing 60 invoice samples for audit used to take up to 2.5 hours. With DataSnipper, that time is cut down to just 20 minutes - a savings of nearly 87%.
DataSnipper automates repetitive tasks, allowing the team to focus on more meaningful, high-impact work that boosts both productivity and satisfaction.
With structured workpapers and direct links to source documents, the team can deliver exactly what auditors need - faster, clearer, and with minimal back-and-forth.
