Maxed Raises $850K in Pre-Seed Funding

Today, CPA firms rely on multiple disconnected and expensive tools and still spend a lot of time on manual work. Maxed replaces this with a single AI-native platform that reduces costs and helps firms serve more clients without adding extra staff.

At the core of Maxed are two AI agents that work together to reduce the repetitive administrative work that takes up most billable hours in CPA firms. One of them, Max, handles back-office operations by managing workflows that usually need constant manual coordination, keeping tasks moving across the platform without requiring staff to oversee every step.

Ed is the client-facing AI that communicates directly with clients through the firm’s branded portal. It helps accountants scale client communication while keeping everything visible to the firm, so all messages are reviewed and approved before being sent, ensuring full control over each client relationship.

“All of knowledge work is being rebuilt around AI agents, and accounting is one of the largest and most underserved spaces ripe for disruption. We've met hundreds of founders going after AI in professional services. Fifi stood out immediately – she understands the space more clearly, and at just eighteen, she's already building faster than teams three times her size. We think Maxed is going to define what a modern accounting firm looks like, and we’re thrilled to be working on this together with Fifi," says Pascal Unger, co-founder and Managing Partner at Focal VC.

“What stood out to me about Fifi was not just her technical ability but her instinct for building systems that solve real problems, said Akshay Kothari. The next generation of AI innovation will come from founders, who think in terms of workflows and agents, not just standalone models. Fifi represents that shift and its exciting to see her already building with that level of clarity and ambition.”
