Hibernate não encontra persistence.xml

Estou fazendo o projeto do curso no intelij e gerenciando as bibliotecas com o maven. Ao executar o projeto está dando o erro abaixo.

INFO: HHH000318: Could not find any META-INF/persistence.xml file in the classpath
Exception in thread "main" javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named financas
    at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:85)
    at javax.persistence.Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory(Persistence.java:54)
    at br.com.alura.javajpa.App.main(App.java:17)

Coloquei o arquivo persistence.xml dentro da pasta META-INF em SRC como podem ver abaixo.
