Hyphenate, the New York company whose AI agents run finance operations for mid-market and enterprise businesses, says its revenue has grown 86-fold over the past 12 months as customers hand it more of their finance work. The company, which changed its name from Maximor today, says the average customer now runs six of its modules, and 40% expand within the first year of their contract, well before a typical renewal conversation.

Sovereign [reported in August](https://www.sovereignmagazine.com/article/maximor-35x-growth-autonomous-finance) that revenue had grown 35 times in the nine months after the company's $9 million seed round, led by Foundation Capital in September 2025. Hyphenate now sells modules in five areas of the finance function: order-to-cash, treasury, general ledger accounting and close, procure-to-pay, and reporting and insights.

## Office of the CFO Software Beyond Point Solutions

Over the past decade, finance software has mostly been sold one workflow at a time, with one product for the close, another for billing, another for cash and more for nearly every task after that. Each product made its own task easier, but finance teams ended up running a set of separate systems, with people moving information between them.

"Finance leaders don't want a different tool for every workflow and another layer of people managing the gaps between them," said Ramnandan Krishnamurthy, who co-founded the company in 2024 with Ajay Krishna Amudan after both worked on finance transformation at Microsoft.

Collections affect cash forecasts, purchasing feeds accruals, bank activity drives reconciliation and revenue recognition changes the close, so when each sits in a different system, someone has to carry the information across by hand. Hyphenate's case is that on one platform, the agents working in one area can use what the others already know, and the company can take responsibility for more of the function.

Mini Melts USA, the beaded ice cream brand, is one customer that has widened its use. "Hyphenate has embedded AI across Mini Melts USA's operations. Its agents layered onto our SAP environment and now run orders, sales triage, invoicing and refunds end to end," said Yameen Sarwar, the company's Finance Transformation Lead. "The work isn't just faster, it's more accurate: they catch errors at entry and surface unbilled invoices. We're now expanding Hyphenate into treasury and lease management." Other customers named on the company's website include Kiteworks, HiBid and Dura Software.

The new name comes from finance's own vocabulary, in which order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and record-to-report are named for the links between steps. "Maximor came to stand for one part of what we do. Customers start with one problem and keep expanding, because the more of finance we understand, the more of the work we can take responsibility for," Krishnamurthy said.

## Autonomous Finance and AI Accounting Software on Top of the ERP

Hyphenate calls its category autonomous finance. The distinction it draws is between software that speeds up a task and then hands it back to a person, and software that takes a piece of work through to the finished result. Its agents first learn how a company runs its finance function, including the controls, past decisions and judgment calls that usually live in workpapers, spreadsheets and the heads of experienced staff. They then carry out the work, keep a record of each step for auditors and bring in a person when a decision needs human judgment.

The platform sits on top of the ERP, banks, payroll and other systems a company already uses, so customers [do not have to migrate their accounting](https://www.sovereignmagazine.com/article/finance-chiefs-spent-millions-on-erps-they-hate-maximor-s-ai-is-now-fixing-that-without-start-2). That separates it from AI-native accounting systems such as Rillet, which raised $100 million at a $1 billion valuation in August for a general ledger with AI agents built in, and which customers adopt in place of their existing system.

## Continuous Close and Real-Time Reporting for CFOs

Hyphenate describes its current work on operational finance as a first step. The larger aim is the decisions CFOs make about pricing, margins, investment and how capital is allocated, since every hiring, product and purchasing decision eventually shows up in revenue, costs, cash or margin.

Many companies still [spend weeks closing their books each month](https://www.sovereignmagazine.com/article/4-startups-showing-how-ai-in-finance-automation-pays-off-in-weeks) and assembling reports, sometimes with teams of analysts or outside consultants. Hyphenate wants the books to stay reconciled throughout the month, so that the numbers are current on an ordinary Tuesday and reports follow the business as it changes, not weeks after the close. The company says this also lets finance teams grow without adding staff at the same rate, and spend more of their time deciding what the business should do next.

## FAQ

**Q: What is the office of the CFO?**
It is the set of finance functions that report to the chief financial officer, typically accounting and the monthly close, billing and collections, payables and purchasing, treasury and cash, and financial planning and reporting. Hyphenate sells modules in five of these areas and says its average customer now runs six modules.

**Q: What happened to Maximor?**
Maximor renamed itself Hyphenate on October 1, 2026. It is the same company, founded in New York in 2024 by Ramnandan Krishnamurthy and Ajay Krishna Amudan, with the same product, now at hyphenate.ai.

**Q: Can AI do accounting work?**
In Hyphenate's model, AI agents carry out routine finance work such as processing orders, invoicing, refunds and reconciliation, keep an audit record of each step, and pass decisions that need judgment to a person. The finance team reviews and approves rather than doing every step by hand.

**Q: What is order-to-cash automation?**
Order-to-cash covers the steps from taking a customer's order to invoicing, collecting payment and recording the cash. At Mini Melts USA, Hyphenate's agents run orders, sales triage, invoicing and refunds end to end on top of the company's SAP system.
