CNM

What CNM does

CNM LLP was a privately-held professional services firm headquartered in Woodland Hills, California, specializing in advisory services for the Office of the CFO. Founded in 2003, the firm provided technical accounting, financial reporting, operational accounting, integrated risk management, ESG reporting, and finance transformation services to corporate finance functions. Its go-to-market was enterprise field sales — direct engagement with corporate CFO offices and finance departments navigating complex regulatory, reporting, and operational challenges. The firm operated through five offices — Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, New York, and Kuala Lumpur — serving clients across the U.S. West Coast, East Coast, and Southeast Asia.

CNM's revenue model was professional services engagement-based, monetizing through consulting and advisory mandates rather than software, subscription, or transaction fees. With over 200 employees, the firm carried a horizontal segmentation approach aimed at the Office of the CFO buyer across multiple industries, including asset management, financial services, technology/media, industrials, life sciences, and government contracting (inherited and expanded via its acquirer's industry footprint). Pricing was not publicly disclosed, consistent with bespoke professional services engagements. The firm held no disclosed proprietary technology, products, or AI/ML capabilities, operating as a human-capital-intensive consulting practice.

In March 2026, CNM was acquired by CrossCountry Consulting, a larger national advisory firm with a broader Office of the CFO platform and strategic alliances across enterprise technology vendors (Coupa, NetSuite, OneStream, Sage Intacct, Salesforce, FloQast, Workday, Workiva). Following the acquisition, CNM ceased operating as an independent entity; its Managing Partner Sanjay Sheth transitioned to lead CrossCountry's Los Angeles office and Southern California market. The deal was structural — extending CrossCountry's West Coast presence — rather than a reflection of CNM's growth trajectory, which the source data does not directly disclose.
