About StrataMax
34 years of building software for Australian strata.
From the early 1990s to ~650,000 lots managed today, across every Australian state and territory, carried by a 75+ strong onshore team.
Our story
Founded in 1992. Built for Australian strata ever since.
One brief, set on day one: automate every conceivable task in a strata manager's office. Three decades on, it's still the mission.
1992
StrataMax founded
Michael Borin founds StrataMax on the Gold Coast under the MaxSoft Group, with a single brief: automate every conceivable task in a strata manager's office. It starts with a small set of Queensland firms.
2002
StrataPay launches
A sister entity under the MaxSoft umbrella, built for levy payments. StrataMax integrates with it natively.
2008
StrataCash Management launches
Strata-specialised banking joins the group. Trust accounting, payments and banking now run in one family of companies.
2018
Second generation steps in
The family business hands day-to-day leadership to its second generation: same ownership, same brief, longer horizon.
Today
~650,000 lots, every jurisdiction
The platform runs strata firms across all 8 states and territories, carried by a 75+ strong onshore team. The 1992 brief is still the mission.
Ownership
Privately held. Second-generation family business.
StrataMax is privately held by the Borin family and operates under the MaxSoft Group. We are independent; not venture-backed and not for sale. The company has grown organically from its early QLD client base to a platform running roughly 650,000 lots. We are here to stay, without a private-equity clock, without an exit timeline, without an acquirer waiting to fold the product into someone else's roadmap.
The people who built StrataMax are the people who plan to keep building it. Decisions are made on a horizon measured in decades, not funding rounds. For a strata firm signing a multi-year contract on the platform that runs its trust accounting, this matters.
Leadership
The people running StrataMax.
A working leadership team: three Borins and one industry veteran. Day-to-day operators, fully engaged in the daily business operations.
Michael Borin
Founder
Michael founded StrataMax in 1992 on the Gold Coast, with a background in finance, property, and programming. The original brief he set was to automate every conceivable task in a strata manager's office. This is still the brief the product is built against today. Michael holds the long-horizon view of the platform and the family business that owns it.
Dorian Borin
Managing Director
Dorian leads StrataMax day-to-day. He joined the family business after a career in enterprise software, most recently as Director of Software Solutions, Asia Pacific, at Sun Microsystems. The MD seat sits at the intersection of product, engineering, and partner outcomes; Dorian's job is keeping those three aligned across a platform that now runs ~650,000 lots.
Daniel Borin
Director of Sales, Marketing and Training
Daniel runs sales, marketing, and training. His prior career was in enterprise IT sales at Hewlett Packard and EMC. The brief: every new partner runs a documented onboarding cadence with our team, every existing partner gets proactive support from people who know their portfolio, and every prospective partner sees the platform on their data, not a slide deck.
Michelle Cummins
Director of People, Culture & Client Support
Michelle joined the MaxSoft Group in 2018 as General Manager People & Culture and was promoted to Director in 2023. She brings 35+ years in the strata industry (strata manager, office and systems manager, HR) and previously led the people and culture integration of 30 strata management acquisitions at PICA Group.
