Drivetrain Partners with ANP Consulting to Accelerate AI-Native Planning for Finance Teams
Finance teams everywhere are being asked to do more: plan faster, forecast more accurately, and connect every department to a single view of the business. The tools and processes many of them rely on were not built for that pace.
Closing that gap takes two things: a platform built for modern planning, and people who know how to implement it well. That is why we are excited to announce our partnership with ANP Consulting, a specialized Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Connected Planning consulting firm.
About ANP Consulting
ANP Consulting helps CFOs and finance leaders transform planning, forecasting, reporting, and decision-making processes, enabling organizations to build scalable, data-driven planning capabilities that improve agility, visibility, and business performance.
The firm delivers EPM and planning transformation programs for clients globally, spanning North America, Europe, Australia, APAC, and the Middle East, across industries including Consumer Goods, Fashion & Retail, Alco-Beverage, Advanced Manufacturing, Sports & Entertainment, Financial Services, and Professional Services. Beyond consulting, ANP runs certified EPM training programs and anchors one of the most active EPM communities in the world, with more than 1,500 members.
ANP's leadership and consulting team bring over a decade of experience delivering EPM, FP&A, and enterprise planning solutions. The firm was founded by Nakul Aggarwal, a Chartered Accountant and Master Anaplanner with EPM and FP&A implementation experience at Ernst & Young and Deloitte across India and Australia.
Why This Partnership
ANP Consulting was looking for a platform that combines powerful planning capabilities with modern, AI-driven innovation. Drivetrain stood out for its AI-native approach to FP&A, intuitive user experience, robust integration ecosystem, and ability to unify financial and operational planning within a single platform.
The fit goes both ways. ANP designs and implements best-in-class planning, forecasting, reporting, and performance management processes. Drivetrain complements that work with an AI-powered platform that streamlines budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, reporting, and cross-functional collaboration.
Together, Drivetrain and ANP Consulting will help organizations:
- Reduce manual effort and improve forecast accuracy, replacing spreadsheet-heavy processes with AI-native planning connected to the entire data stack through 850+ integrations
- Bring enterprise-grade financial and operational modelling to high-growth companies modernizing their FP&A capabilities
- Make cross-department collaboration simpler, aligning FP&A with sales, workforce, and operations planning in one platform
- Grow the planning talent ecosystem, drawing on ANP's certified training programs and global EPM community to build Drivetrain delivery capability at scale
"Finance leaders today need more than historical reporting, they need real-time insights, predictive planning, and the confidence to make faster, better-informed decisions. Drivetrain's AI-native platform brings a modern approach to FP&A by combining powerful planning capabilities with intelligent automation and actionable insights. Through our partnership, ANP Consulting and Drivetrain will help organizations accelerate finance transformation, improve planning agility, and build a more connected, data driven decision making culture."
— Nakul Aggarwal, Founder, ANP Consulting
Looking Ahead
ANP Consulting and Drivetrain will collaborate on joint enablement, implementations, and go-to-market initiatives in the months ahead.
If you are a finance leader looking to modernize planning, or an ANP Consulting client curious about what AI-native planning can add to your stack, we would love to talk.
