A lot happened in 2025.

Labubus conquered the internet.

The third intergalactic space object in recorded history entered our solar system.

The largest women’s soccer (“football,” for our European readers) event in history, UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, drew record-breaking audiences. The event highlighted the sport’s unstoppable growth and global impact.

And OneStream came out with new capabilities that are redefining the future of finance.

But that's just the headline. OneStream’s 2025 innovations deliver powerful new tools to help organizations modernize operations, unlock value, and future-proof financial processes.

Here’s a deep dive into the top new capabilities from OneStream that are transforming finance teams worldwide.

1. SensibleAI™ Portfolio: Transforming Finance with Native AI

With OneStream’s SensibleAI portfolio, finance teams can harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI). OneStream built the suite on three pillars:

Quantitative AI: Drives predictive planning with high-accuracy forecasts using advanced machine learning models.
Generative AI: Provides narrative insights and transparency into how forecasts are constructed.
Agentic AI: Introduces autonomous agents that retrieve data, generate reports, and execute tasks.

Together, these capabilities empower finance professionals to move beyond manual analysis and into data-driven decision-making not otherwise possible.

2. SensibleAI Benchmarking & Outlier Analysis (Content Block)

Benchmarking and outlier analysis are essential for identifying best practices and mitigating risks. With OneStream’s AI-powered solution, now available as a reusable plug-and-play content block, finance teams can do the following:

Surface cost patterns that differentiate top-performing locations or business units.
Enforce proactive overspend prevention by flagging anomalies before they impact month-end reports.
Identify offices or segments at financial risk, and provide actionable insights for acquisition or operational decisions.

Deployment is simple — the content block gets plugged into the OneStream environment, and finance can immediately start driving targeted operational improvements. This capability helps organizations stay ahead of risks and optimize performance across the enterprise.

3. Modern Financial Close Enhancements

Closing the books is no longer a reactive, manual process. Instead, OneStream’s modern financial close capabilities transform the close into a proactive, strategic function:

AI-Powered Account Reconciliations: Automate the comparison of large volumes of financial records, quickly identify anomalies, and speed up reconciliation with minimal manual intervention.
Transaction Matching Volumes (TxM Volumes): Automatically match large sets of transactions, reducing manual effort and errors while ensuring data integrity.
Journal Entry Manager (JEM): Streamline the creation, validation, and posting of journal entries, complete with comprehensive audit trails for compliance.

Collectively, these enhancements reduce errors, accelerate cycle times, and empower finance teams to focus on analysis and business partnering, rather than manual tasks.

4. ESG Reporting and Planning Enhancements

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly central to corporate strategy. With OneStream’s Integrated ESG solution, now generally available, finance teams can do the following:

Unify ESG data collection, planning, and compliance within a single platform.
Link ESG actions directly to financial records, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Leverage AI for dynamic scenario modeling and reporting to predict and steer ESG performance as market demands evolve.

With these enhancements, finance teams can take a more strategic role in sustainability, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder engagement.

5. OneStream IFRS Express

For organizations needing to comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), OneStream’s IFRS Express offers a rapid deployment solution:

Robust consolidation engine and pre-mapped cash flow capabilities.
Out-of-the-box statutory reporting forms for fast, compliant reporting.
Accelerated implementation that helps achieve IFRS compliance in as little as 8 – 12 weeks.

IFRS Express streamlines the close and reporting process, reduces implementation time, and ensures organizations stay ahead of regulatory requirements.

6. New Content Blocks

Flexibility and integration are key to modern finance, and OneStream’s 10 new plug-and-play content blocks deliver just that:

Advanced dashboard layouts for richer data visualization.
Operational analytics blocks to drive deeper insights.
AI-enhanced features to facilitate smarter automation.
Connectors for PowerBI and Tableau to integrate seamlessly with the existing analytics ecosystem.

Together, these modules allow finance teams to rapidly deploy new capabilities, visualize data, and integrate with other platforms without adding technical debt or complexity.

The latest OneStream platform release, Version 9, brings significant upgrades in three key areas:

With these improvements, finance teams can automate and streamline core processes, freeing up time for strategic initiatives and innovation.
