How We Differ From Traditional RPA
Both aim at the same result: repetitive, rules-based finance and operations work that runs without anyone keying it in. The difference is how it gets built, what you pay to keep it running, and who owns it.
| Topic | Forge RPA | Traditional RPA |
|---|---|---|
| Licenses | None. You own the code, so there is nothing to license. | Per-bot or platform licenses, plus an orchestrator subscription. |
| Build Approach and Speed | Custom code, built with AI, so it is ready faster. | Configured inside a vendor platform. |
| Ownership | You own every line of it. | The automations stay tied to the vendor platform. |
| Operations | Your own portal, set up for you, runs, schedules, and audits every automation. No subscription. | Run from a vendor orchestrator. |
| Role of AI | AI writes and helps build it. The automation itself runs on deterministic rules you can check, with AI used only for judgment steps, such as reading a messy document. | Varies by platform. |

What We Build
Finance and accounting automation first, with the same rigor applied to the operations and administrative work that feeds the ledger. From a quick assessment to a full build, we take the repetitive, error-prone work off your team's plate, whether you're a growing business or an established enterprise.
Automation Assessment
Data-driven process scoring and ROI projections for finance, accounting, and operations teams. Our framework identifies which processes will deliver the fastest return.
ERP Data Migration
Reliable data conversion for Workday, NetSuite, SAP and other systems. Reconciliation-verified accuracy with minimal disruption.
Finance and Operations Process Automation
Our proprietary framework rapidly transforms complex finance and adjacent operations processes into reliable, self-improving automation with built-in governance and documentation.
Process Mining
Data-driven discovery of how your finance and operations processes actually work. Our framework identifies bottlenecks, exceptions, and high-ROI automation opportunities from real transaction and event data.
What Good Looks Like
Representative outcomes from three decades of finance automation work, and the patterns we build toward.
Dramatically reduced time and errors on one of Workday’s most complex payroll templates
Month-end close automation replicated across multiple accounting groups with 95%+ time savings
Enterprise data analysis beyond Excel limits using RPA + advanced Power Query and DAX
Industries We Serve
Finance-grade automation with clear audit trails, plus operations handoffs that feed the ledger. Explore by industry or small business; every org still has core A&F and ops pain we can map on a call.
View All Industry Pages →Manufacturing Finance & Ops
Plant close, cost rolls, BOM and WIP variance, inventory valuation, shop-floor-to-GL.
Oil & Gas
Finance, JVs, and operations handoffs (materials, field, logistics).
Healthcare Finance & Ops
Non-PHI finance and adjacent ops (supplies, facilities feeds).
Insurance
Finance, claims ops files, and underwriting support assembly.
Utilities
Close, work orders, field events, and regulatory extracts.
Small and Growing Businesses
Assessment first, per-solution builds, optional retainer without an IT bench.
Proven in Finance & Operations
Thirty years closing books, building reconciliations, and owning the month-end crunch, paired with the rarer ability to build the automation in-house. One example: a recurring intercompany journal-entry process across multiple companies that took roughly 40 hours a cycle now runs in 20 to 30 minutes, with the judgment work still owned by the team.
