The agentic system of work for enterprise accounting teams
Maxima is building the AI-native platform that automates the full month-end close — journal entries, reconciliations, flux analysis, financial close — with audit-ready accuracy. Their agents pull data from every source, apply company-specific logic, and prepare outputs so accountants review finished work rather than build it from scratch.
The result: accounting teams at Zendesk, Rippling, and Scale AI are closing two to three days faster with over 98% automation. For a function that hasn't seen real innovation in two decades, this is the new operating model. Their newly launched Max — a 24/7 agentic accounting agent — was featured in CFO Dive as the next frontier for enterprise finance teams.
Operators who've lived the close — from both sides
Maxima was founded by operators with 25+ years of combined experience across top technology companies, investment banking, and audit. They saw the same pattern at scale and built the solution.

Backed by Joe Montana, the former CFO of Rippling, CFO of Vanta, SVP Finance at Datadog, and other deep finance domain experts.
Chief of Staff to the VP of Product & Post-Sales
This is a high-ownership generalist role — a direct extension of the VP of Product and Post-Sales, enabling her to operate at 10x capacity. There is no playbook. The complexity of the work will grow significantly as Maxima scales its enterprise sales motion.
You'll own the full range of work the VP doesn't have time for, across recruiting, operations, communications, and strategy. CEO and board visibility on day one.
- Recruiting coordination: Own end-to-end — take first-round candidate calls, manage the interview pipeline, and build a repeatable hiring process across teams
- Post-sales processes: Build and improve QBR frameworks, upsell tracking, G2 review programs, and customer success documentation
- Executive calendar: Manage and protect a complex calendar, proactively resolve conflicts and prioritize time
- KPI dashboards: Drive visibility into sales, product, and bugs by building and maintaining internal tracking systems
- Board decks & comms: Prepare board decks, all-hands presentations, product status updates, and other high-stakes internal communications
- Outbound prospecting: Support LinkedIn content experiments and test what drives pipeline
