Written by Nova Advisory | Wed, Apr 30, 2025

In this special edition from Nashville, host Andy Smetana sits down with Mark Nichols, Sales Director at OneStream Software, for a behind-the-scenes look at OneStream Splash—the can’t-miss annual conference for finance and accounting leaders. Mark shares his journey from Hyperion to OneStream, the customer-first culture behind 100% success, and what attendees can expect: targeted tracks for FP&A, accounting, and executives; immersive platform demos; and practical AI you can actually use.

You’ll also hear how prospects validate OneStream as a strategic platform, how customers expand into forecasting, reconciliations, and profitability, and pro tips for networking with peers, partners, and OneStream leaders (yes—costumes encouraged for Splash Night Out).

 

Listen now:
