That's likely to put you a bit high.

Normal technique im my company is to START down at 0.3 nm before your theoretical descent point.

If uncertain, why not use the profile dougnut, just make sure you have the crossing height and speed in as constraints on the flight plan page of the FMS. Fly it in selected, but monitor your calculated profile.
