The story behind RobotX
In 2017, Robert Hyde was at Deloitte watching global teams run the same standardized procedures offshore, week after week. The question felt obvious: if this work can travel, why can’t it be automated entirely? So he set out to build the platform that would do exactly that — and give auditors their attention back.
RobotX launched as a pure audit automation platform. As adoption grew, finance and M&A teams started using the same capabilities — reconciling data, validating assumptions, linking evidence to numbers. The same discipline that defines good audit work turned out to be exactly what broader professional services needed.
RobotX grew independent and bootstrapped. We under-sell and over-deliver. We ship quietly, improve relentlessly, and let client results speak for themselves.

What we believe
Professional services run on judgment. The problem is that too much of the day is spent on work that doesn’t require it — documentation, formatting, cross-referencing, chasing errors. It drains time, energy, and focus from the decisions that actually matter.
RobotX exists to change that ratio.
We don’t replace expertise. We give it more room to operate. Every product we build automates the parts of audit, finance, and advisory that don’t need a human — and makes the parts that do more accurate, more confident, and more traceable.
When professionals can focus on judgment instead of process, quality rises. That belief drives everything we build.


How we work
We build RobotX the way we’d want tools built for us.
Every improvement we release is shaped by real workflows, real teams, and real constraints. We stay close to the people who use our products and let their results guide our priorities.
We keep our promises. We listen closely. We deliver consistently.
We see every user as a customer — which is rarer than it should be in enterprise software. Most tooling in this space is built around requirements, not usability. We co-create, refine, and iterate with the professionals who rely on RobotX every day. That’s why users find us through word of mouth, stay, and advocate for us without being asked.

Led by people who know the work
Decades of audit and engineering experience, building RobotX day to day.
Our team brings together audit professionals and engineers who care deeply about craft. We know what busy season looks like from the inside. We know review notes, regulatory deadlines, and the 11pm push to get a file signed off. We build to make those realities better — not just faster.
Small team. High standards. Based in the Netherlands, with people across the UK and Finland.

Robert Hyde
Co-Founder & CEO
Former Deloitte auditor and controller. Built RobotX from the observation that the profession’s biggest bottleneck wasn’t skill — it was time spent on work that didn’t need it.

Morten Asscheman
Co‑Founder & CTO
Software entrepreneur and automation specialist. Brings the engineering rigour that makes audit-grade automation actually work at scale.

Will Kuo
CFO & COO
16+ years across audit, finance, and technology M&A at Deloitte. Bridges the gap between what the profession needs and what technology can realistically deliver.

"With the introduction of mandatory XML e-invoicing in Croatia, we needed a solution that could work with XML invoices in a practical way. RobotX allows us to upload the original XML file and instantly displays it in a clear, invoice-like format that is easy for auditors to review. It removes the need for manual conversions and makes the entire audit process more efficient."

Where we're going
The profession is changing faster than most firms can keep up with. AI is reshaping what auditors, finance teams, and advisors spend their time on — and the expectations that come with it.
Our job is to make sure that change makes the profession better, not just faster. That means building automation with real traceability. Workflows that pause when judgment matters. Systems that give professionals more control, not less.
We’re still early. The best of what we’ll build hasn’t shipped yet.
