Challenge

Grant Thornton Argentina, like many audit practices today, faces growing pressure to increase efficiency and deliver high-quality work with limited resources. Many audit tasks, like document validation, manual recalculations, and data checks, are still completed manually, taking up valuable time. Compounding this issue is a national trend: accounting is becoming a less attractive career path, making it increasingly difficult to recruit and retain talent. With fewer hands on deck, the firm needed to find ways to optimize its existing team’s time and focus their efforts on higher-value activities.

"DataSnipper helps us optimize our resources, time and work more efficiently when completing our most repetitive tasks—especially those that require little accounting knowledge."

DataSnipper's automation allows the team to achieve greater audit coverage without sacrificing quality. Tasks that once required hours of manual effort are now completed within minutes, creating capacity for more strategic work. With its improved speed and accuracy, DataSnipper has become an essential part of their audit toolkit.
