Background
ForgeRPA was founded on a simple observation: the people who understand business processes best are rarely the ones building the automations. That gap leads to solutions that look good in demos but fall apart in production.
Our founder, David Farley, spent 30 years in finance and operations leadership — Controller, Finance Manager, Senior Accountant — across industries. He turned that operational knowledge into an automation practice. From advanced Excel and VBA in the early days to enterprise RPA and AI-powered process conversion today, he has architected and deployed hundreds of automations across industries. They work because they were designed by someone who has actually done the work.
David has sat in the Controller's chair. He has closed the books every month across multiple companies. He has lived the pain of manual processes, reconciliation errors, and month-end crunches. That firsthand finance leadership experience is what drives every automation we build.
ForgeRPA exists because every company deserves access to enterprise-grade automation. Without the enterprise price tag.

Philosophy
"You get someone who has lived your processes — closed the books, managed the team, fought the fires — and then learned to automate all of it. Every automation we build starts with the question: does this make business sense? If the ROI does not clear the hurdle rate, we do not build it."
