In April 1912 he began a songwriting partnership with Lewis F. Muir (1884-1915) connected to the Mills Corporation. On May 16, 1912, he accompanied the singer Al Wohlman at a vaudeville show at the VCC Club on the piano. In July they both performed at the Saratoga Hotel in Chicago for several weeks , including with their hit Ragtime Cowboy Joe . By 1913 he published several successful songs with lyrics by Louis Wolfe Gilbert and Lewis F. Muir and had worked for the Mills Publishing Company for at least five years . Here he addressed current phenomena of the time and technological achievements such as owning an automobile in Get Out and Get Under or a Victrola gramophone in They start the Victrola. Since he was well connected in the music scene and was successful as a songwriter and publisher, he decided in mid-1913 to found his own company, the Maurice Abrahams Music Company . He rented premises at 1570 Broadway in April and opened his office in May. During the year branches were opened in Chicago and Boston. He himself was president and chief composer, singer Al Wohlman was the company's vice-president.

They performed the song The Pullman Porters on Parade , which became a hit over the course of the year. Get out and Get under was performed in several shows in November and became another hit. In January 1914, both music publishers received their first joint stage engagement at The Corner’s in New York. Their program consisted of the songs they had produced up to then. Get out and Get under became a huge success in 1914 with recordings by Al Jolson and Bill Murray . The song was featured in the successful revue Hullo, Tango! used. In April 1914, Wohlman and Abrahams appeared at the Murray Hill Theater and in September at the Proctor's Theater in Haarlem. After three successful years, the company merged with Kalmar & Puck Inc. in June 1916 to form Kalmar Puck and Abrahams Consolidated Music Publishing Company . General manager became Mack Stark, Abraham's president. Joint activities began with a joint catalog on February 1, 1917. On November 19, 1917, he accompanied the singer and actress Mollie King (1898–1981) on the piano in a revue program for the opening of Loew's Theater in Montreal .

Her son Herbert Abrahams, who later called himself a screenwriter Herbert Baker (1920–1983), was born on December 25, 1920. In the following years Maurice Abrahams acted as Belle's piano accompanist. In 1923 he left Waterson, Berlin & Snyder and started his own business again as a music publisher. He has now appeared again with Al Wohlman in vaudeville shows. After a season as a freelance writer, he started working again as a music publisher in January 1928. Manny Joseph acted as an employee. Her office was in the Hilton Building .

In 1930 he retired as a music publisher and was manager of the New York office of The Edward Small Company . Most importantly, he acted as his wife's personal manager at the time. In the spring of 1931 he and his wife had an engagement at the Stanley Theater with four performances a day. On three consecutive Sundays he accompanied her to an artist portrait broadcast by NBC on the radio. On the eve of his death, he should have accompanied his wife to a vocal performance at The Commodore Hotel on the piano. It was a dinner hosted by New York Mayor Jimmy Walker . Due to a fit of weakness, the performance was canceled.
