Nova Advisory is proud to be sponsoring OneStream’s Toronto Forward Finance Forum on Thursday, September 24, 2026. This half-day event brings together Finance leaders and practitioners who are ready to move beyond AI curiosity and into real, measurable AI-powered performance.
The Forward Finance Forum is designed exclusively for Finance leaders looking to understand what separates high-performing Finance organizations from the rest. Success with AI requires a new operating model, not just new tools. Attendees will see the Forward Finance AI Operating Model in action, hear directly from peers who are already putting it to work, and leave with a sharper view of what’s possible.
The forum is built around a few key takeaways for attendees:
Exploration of the Forward Finance AI Operating Model and its five dimensions
How Agentic Finance AI is transforming planning, close, reporting, and decision-making
Firsthand accounts from leaders who are modernizing their operations and driving measurable results
Actionable ideas and peer insights to bring back to your own team.
The afternoon kicks off with networking, followed by a keynote from Alyssa Boers of OneStream on how high-performing Finance organizations are retooling their workforce and decision-making with AI.
Mike Owens of OneStream follows with a look at how leading Finance teams are using AI to close faster and plan with more confidence.
KPMG will take the stage to unpack what it actually takes to build an AI-ready Finance function, before a customer panel featuring Iassen Tonkovski (VP Finance, IGM) and Melissa Rossit (Sr. Director Finance Transformation, Kinross Gold) shares real stories and real results from organizations putting Forward Finance into practice.
The event will wrap with the Nova-sponsored cocktail reception, a great opportunity to connect with peers and the Nova Advisory team.
As a OneStream partner focused on helping Finance teams get more value from their CPM investments, we see firsthand how the right operating model determines whether AI initiatives actually drive results. Events like the Forward Finance Forum give our team the chance to connect with Finance leaders who are asking questions about AI, automation, and what comes next for planning, close, and reporting. We’re looking forward to being part of the discussion and to meeting attendees in person.
