If your financial close feels like a monthly fire drill filled with late nights, manual work, and disconnected systems, it’s time for a better way. In this episode of CPM Customer Success, Andy Smetana tackles one of the most demanding challenges facing finance and accounting leaders today: the financial close process. Andy explains how OneStream’s unified platform is transforming close, consolidation, and reporting—making them faster, more accurate, and far less painful.

The episode explores how OneStream simplifies these challenges by bringing consolidation, reporting, and data transparency into a single platform. Through practical examples, Andy shows how finance teams eliminate manual tasks, improve data accuracy, and gain real-time visibility—allowing them to close with confidence and reclaim nights and weekends.
