Aggregated Overview

Overview
Maxima is an accounting automation platform for finance teams managing recurring close work across connected financial systems. Its modules cover journal entries, reconciliations, transaction matching, variance analysis, and close coordination.
The platform works alongside an existing ERP rather than replacing it. Maxima says its agents prepare work for human review, and approved journal entries can be posted back to the ERP with supporting lineage.
