“Since founding this company in 2010, after having been a part of the CPM market for 20-plus years, we set out to create a platform to break down the siloes across different functions within the office of the CFO to not only modernize it, but to revolutionize organizations,” said OneStream CEO Tom Shea. “We have done this in a customer-centric way, in which every customer is a reference and has a platform to accelerate their digital finance transformation at their own pace. We are pleased to have an experienced investor like KKR back our platform and our vision for continued growth.”
OneStream’s platform is uniquely designed to address the complex requirements of corporate finance, local finance and diverse operational business units in a single application.

The software is architected to support large-scale cloud deployments and can easily extend to address new functional requirements and digital transformation without disruption.
OneStream’s business is expanding rapidly across new geographies, industries, and government agencies that are looking to modernize their finance functions and systems.

Companies such as UPS®, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Post Holdings, Inc., Fruit of the Loom, The Carlyle Group, Melrose PLC and many others depend on OneStream to streamline their multiple financial processes.
“Based on their more than two decades of experience developing software solutions for the office of the CFO, the OneStream team has taken a modern platform approach to addressing the complex financial structures facing large organizations today.

Upon closing of the transaction, General (Ret.) David H. Petraeus, Member, KKR, and Chairman of the KKR Global Institute; Dave Welsh, Member, KKR, and Head of TMT Growth Equity at KKR; and Jim Miele, Principal, KKR, will join OneStream’s board of directors.
