why choose top down cpm?

Grounded in FP&A expertise.
Built for Finance.

At Top Down CPM, we believe that Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) should be more than a compliance exercise — it should be a strategic advantage. Companies today face increasingly complex financial environments, from volatile markets to demanding board expectations. That’s why we implement across platforms rather than selling one, and pair them with Adra for close management. By aligning people, processes, and technology, we help organizations turn their planning and reporting tools into engines of agility, insight, and growth. Whether you are choosing a platform for the first time or looking to maximize ROI on one you already own, our team ensures every Implementation Sprint (7–10 days) and every quarterly Value Sprint (90 days) leads to measurable results.

Specialized Focus

We wake up thinking about FP&A. The software is the tool — the craft is knowing what to do with it.

The right platform for your business

We implement all three — so the recommendation comes from your reporting complexity and stage of growth, not from which tool we happen to sell.

"We wrapped up ahead of schedule and under budget"

"Because of the support we got from Top Down, we were able to complete the entire implementation with just one dedicated FTE on our side. That saved us a ton of time and effort—and we even wrapped up ahead of schedule and under budget. Really appreciate the partnership!"

frequently asked questions

We’re here to answer your questions.

We've helped hundreds of finance teams get value out of their FP&A software—and here's where we answer the most common questions about implementations, sprints, and pricing with transparency and care.

Are you only a Planful partner?

No. We implement Planful and Abacum, and we will help you work out which one fits you. What has not changed is the depth behind that advice — 400+ FP&A implementations.

Do you replace our FP&A team?

No. We enable your team and augment where needed.

Will you work outside North America?

Our primary focus is North America but many of our customers have global reach. Let's discuss your specific needs.

Do you serve nonprofits?

Yes, for larger nonprofits with complex planning needs. We specialize in organizations that need multi-fund accounting, grant tracking, and board reporting.

What does a typical engagement look like?

A typical engagement is a ~4-month implementation delivered through 7–10 day Implementation Sprints, followed by quarterly 90-day Value Sprints to keep compounding ROI. Most clients are producing some production level reporting within 30 days of kickoff.

How soon can we start?

We can kick off your project within 2 weeks of you signing up.

Do you provide training?

Yes—role-based enablement and admin coaching.

"Having a dedicated point person for both high-level guidance and deep-dive Planful questions meant we could configure Planful to address our specific business structure."
