OneStream Recognized as Leader in Gartner MQ; Lands Furthest in Completeness of Vision

Today, finance leaders are under more pressure than ever. Expectations now extend well beyond reporting what happened in the business to actively steering performance, managing risk, and enabling growth. As organizations continue to navigate economic uncertainty and rising complexity, the financial close is no longer just a back-office process. By driving improvements in close and consolidations, finance and accounting teams free time to become more strategic enablers to the business.

According to our Finance 2035 research, the role of the chief financial officer (CFO) is fundamentally changing. CFOs are expected to lead with insight and foresight. Yet 75% of chief executive officers (CEOs) say their CFOs struggle to prioritize business growth due to the overwhelming volume of data and information. This disconnect underscores a critical reality: Finance teams cannot become strategic advisors if still constrained by fragmented systems and slow, manual close processes.

That’s why the modern financial close has become so vital. Finance organizations need a faster, continuous, and insight-driven close process — one that frees teams from manual effort and enables them to focus on value creation.

Our uniquely unified, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered platform enables a more continuous, automated, and streamlined financial close and reporting cycle. That's why we're proud to be recognized again as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Financial Close and Consolidation Solutions and positioned furthest in Completeness of Vision. We believe this recognition validates OneStream’s commitment to helping finance teams modernize the close and elevate the role of finance across the enterprise.

Below, you'll learn more about this important recognition and what customers have to say.

4x a Leader in Financial Close: Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision

The Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ is one of the most trusted resources for finance and IT leaders evaluating enterprise software. For the 2026 report, Gartner analysts rigorously evaluated vendors based on detailed Requests for Information (RFIs), live product demonstrations, and direct customer feedback. Analysts then positioned vendors into one of four quadrants: Leaders, Visionaries, Challengers, and Niche Vendors.

So, how was OneStream positioned?

For the fourth year, Gartner recognized OneStream as a Leader, and evaluated on Ability to Execute and furthest in Completeness of Vision. (See Figure 1.)

Why the Gartner Magic Quadrant Matters for CFOs and Their Finance and Accounting Teams

For CFOs and controllers, this evaluation is especially important today. Our Finance 2035 research report found that 74% of CFOs and business leaders agree that unified data and data-driven decision-making are now the primary determinants of organizational success. At the same time, 68% of CFOs believe organizations that fail to modernize their finance technology and skills will not survive the next 5 years.

The 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant provides the insights and analysis finance leaders need to find the right solutions to modernize the close. Using the info in the report, finance leaders can select solutions that treat modernizing the close as foundational for enabling finance’s strategic mandate.

We believe OneStream’s positioning as a Leader reflects the strength and completeness of our platform, automating and de-risking the end-to-end financial close, consolidation, and reporting process, as well as planning, budgeting, and forecasting.
