About Maxio
What is Maxio?
Maxio is a billing and financial reporting platform designed for B2B SaaS and AI companies. It handles subscription and usage-based billing, invoicing, revenue recognition (GAAP & IFRS), and financial reporting — all in one system.
Problem it solves
Manual billing and spreadsheet-based revenue reporting slow down finance teams and create errors. Maxio automates recurring billing, usage metering, and revenue reconciliation, so companies can close books faster, reduce delinquency, and get real-time SaaS metrics without engineering help.
Who is it for?
Maxio is ideal for B2B SaaS and AI companies with complex billing needs: subscription + usage-based pricing, multiple entities, or parent-child customer relationships. It's also for finance teams needing GAAP/IFRS-compliant revenue recognition and audit-ready reports. It's not for small consumer billing or simple one-off invoicing.
Real use cases
For example, a SaaS company can spin up plans and custom contracts in minutes, configure metered pricing, automate dunning emails, and track DSO in real time. Revenue teams can close in days, not weeks, with drill-down reports and 30+ one-click reports like ARR summary and deferred revenue roll-forwards.
Key features
- Usage-based billing — Automate metering and rating, sync product data directly to invoicing, and charge by license, overage, or meter.
- Subscription management — Self-serve billing portals, flexible product catalog, and custom contracts with coupons and upsells.
- Revenue recognition — GAAP & IFRS compliance, with scheduled revenue, deferred revenue, and multi-book support.
- Financial reporting — Custom dashboards, drill-down reports, and 30+ one-click reports like ARR summary and DSO.
- Collections and dunning — Automated reminders reduce delinquency and help track DSO in real time.
- Multi-entity support — Manage unique catalogs, gateways, and settings per subsidiary from one control plane.
- 25+ payment integrations — Connect Stripe, Braintree, Authorize.net, or use Maxio's built-in payment solution.
