Background
David Farley is a 30-year finance and automation veteran, Certified UiPath Developer, and Intelligent Automation Architect based in Frisco, Texas. He spent 18+ years in finance leadership — including Controller and Finance Manager roles — while simultaneously building automation solutions, from VBA macros and custom database applications in the early days to enterprise RPA and AI-powered process conversion today. Along the way, he has architected and deployed over 100 intelligent automations across industries.
David has sat in the Controller's chair. He has closed the books every month. He has lived the pain of manual processes, reconciliation errors, and month-end crunch. Then he learned to code and spent a decade eliminating those exact problems with automation.
ForgeRPA exists because every company deserves access to enterprise-grade automation — without the enterprise price tag.

"You get a finance veteran who builds automation, not a developer who Googles accounting terms. Every automation we build starts with the question: does this make financial sense? If the ROI does not clear the hurdle rate, we do not build it."
