Finance, tax and compliance teams spend a large part of their time on work that is repetitive, rule-based and high in volume — downloading statements, matching entries, preparing the same reports every month and checking data across portals and systems. This is exactly the kind of work that automation does well.
Lawnut helps businesses identify and automate such processes, using Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and related tools, so that your people can spend their time on review, analysis and decision-making instead of data handling.
What is Robotic Process Automation?
Robotic Process Automation uses software "bots" to perform structured, rule-based tasks the way a person would — logging in to applications, reading and entering data, comparing records, generating files and sending notifications. Bots work alongside your existing ERP and accounting systems, typically without major changes to those systems.

Our Approach
1. Process Discovery
We study your current processes to identify tasks that are repetitive, rule-based and stable enough to automate.
2. Feasibility & Prioritisation
We assess each candidate process for effort, benefit and risk, and agree priorities with you.
3. Design & Build
We document the process, design the automation with the right controls and exception handling, and build it.
4. Testing & Deployment
The automation is tested on real scenarios before going live, with your team involved in sign-off.
5. Monitoring & Support
We monitor performance, handle exceptions and update the automation as processes or regulations change.
