What Maximus Partners does

Maximus Partners LLC is a privately held professional services firm founded in 2024 and headquartered in the United States, operating two integrated service lines: CFO Advisory and Executive Search. The CFO Advisory practice delivers short- and long-term engagements to middle-market, privately owned, and private equity-backed companies, covering core finance professionalization (FP&A, controllership, 3-statement forecasting, budgeting, 13-week cash flow modeling, process optimization, coaching and development), interim and fractional CFO solutions, and transaction advisory and M&A support on both buy-side and sell-side mandates. The Executive Search practice offers retained and contingent placement for executive talent across accounting, finance, risk management, and operations, distinguished by a one-year guarantee on retained placements and a reported 100% completion rate on retained searches since inception; it also includes executive coaching, compensation benchmarking, and reference checking.

The firm positions itself as a "collective of CFOs," combining the expertise of 25+ CFOs with 500+ years of senior leadership experience across the practitioner team. Delivery is supported by a vetted Premier Partner Network spanning at least 16 disciplines — including tax, banking, valuations, legal, wealth management, investment banking, private equity, technology, HR, staff augmentation, cybersecurity, real estate, insurance, technical accounting, payroll, and audit — enabling cross-functional engagements under a single client relationship. Marketing claims include 1,000+ clients serviced, 5,500+ professionals placed over 25 years, and 100+ value creation transactions, all attributable to the practitioner bench rather than to the corporate entity itself, given the firm's 2024 founding date.

Revenue is generated through professional services billing across retained search fees, contingent search fees, and CFO advisory engagements (interim, fractional, and project-based). Go-to-market is sales-led, targeting mid-market and PE-backed buyers via direct outreach through the company website (free 30-minute consultation), email channels (info@ and [email protected]), and LinkedIn. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm currently reports 11-50 employees, uses no proprietary technology platform, and lists no AI, API, or SDK capability.
