Top 5 is a compensation consulting firm providing leading-edge advice and data services to its clients. Founded in 1992, Top 5 offers consulting expertise in areas such as executive compensation, broad-based rewards, sales force compensation and equity strategy development. We partner with companies in all stages of business - from pre-IPO to established publicly-traded organizations - to understand their business objectives and help align their pay strategies to meet those objectives. Our ability to assist a client with all of their needs, including program design (such as cost, market and technical analysis of alternative program designs and their impact on the company's financial statements and tax liability) and program implementation (which could include document drafting, employee communications, and program administration) allows us to be a true business partner of our client. Our philosophy is simple; we will exceed our clients' expectations through a practical approach to solving pay issues.

Top 5 offers in-depth data services for the life sciences and high-technology industries. Our suite of surveys and proprietary databases provide clients with comprehensive total compensation information, designed to support decision-making.

Based in Fremont, in Northern California's Silicon Valley, we work with clients throughout the United States.
