The OneStream Sensible AI portfolio, announced in May, is a set of packaged AI solutions that address pertinent needs of Finance leaders. They include Sensible ML, Sensible GenAI and Sensible AI Library forecasting and scenario planning. OneStream previewed the following AI capabilities added to this Sensible AI portfolio:

  • OneStream AI-Powered Anomaly Detection capability is part of the OneStream Sensible AI Library, the AI Anomaly Detection capability is a pre-packaged AI method that helps Finance leaders detect anomalies for data cleansing and reporting. By scanning thousands of transactions to detect unusual patterns or outliers, AI Anomaly Detection can uncover unexpected or duplicate entries, enabling Finance teams to quickly investigate and correct issues before the final close. This capability is currently of limited availability.
  • OneStream Sensible Machine Learning (ML) Scenario Modeling capability builds on the initial OneStream Sensible ML solution and creates real-time, AI-driven “what-if” forecasting scenarios using a company’s own enterprise information across operational and financial workstreams. Finance teams can isolate key business drivers, such as changes in interest rates, inflation, gas prices, new product introductions and plant shutdowns, and validate the scenarios and test their impact across forecasting, operational planning, workforce planning, sales planning and other areas.

Digitizing the Office of the CFO

In May, OneStream announced several innovations focused on digitizing core finance, including expanding its partnership with Microsoft with OneStream Certified Power BI Connector. This week, OneStream previewed a series of new innovations to make it easier for Finance leaders to deploy, report and consume financial reporting.   

  • OneStream Navigation Center streamlines access to reports and bookmarks critical audit and narrative documents, in one place. This solution enables Finance leaders to easily organize, tag and bookmark frequently used documents, audit reports, and set due dates for key tasks such as report reviews, deadlines and submissions. Users can also set due dates to ensure they are reviewed and ready for handover to auditors.
  • Microsoft Excel Enhancements make it easier than ever to copy, modify and analyze powerful data from OneStream with the commonly used tools in Microsoft’s Excel environment.   
  • Expanded Solution Exchange to Support Tax Pillar 2. To support the evolving needs of global organizations, the OneStream Solution Exchange has expanded its capabilities and solutions, welcoming its 100th solution at Splash EMEA. Solutions now include BDO/ Inlumi and AMCO partnership to support Pillar 2 tax criteria. From account reconciliations, workforce planning, and transaction matching to AI-powered solutions, such as Sensible Machine Learning and InfinitySPM Sales Performance Management, the Solution Exchange extends the utility of the OneStream Platform to meet current business needs while also adapting to future requirements.

By the Numbers: Financial report reveals scale of financial costs, growth

Following a year marked by financial turbulence, Northwestern’s financial report for fiscal year 2025 revealed the University’s struggles and growth as they navigated a tumultuous landscape in higher education.

The latest report detailed fiscal year 2025, which began Sept. 1, 2024 and ended Aug. 31, 2025. It did not include the University’s stipulated $75 million payment to the federal government, which was part of the agreement struck in November 2025.

According to the University’s 2025 financial report, net assets sit at $16.2 billion, up from 2024’s $15.6 billion. However, the University spent almost $148 million more than it brought in during fiscal year 2025. 


In the last five fiscal years, the University has increased steadily in operating costs for assets without donor restrictions.

Year-to-year increases in operating costs hovered around 10% in the past five fiscal years. Simultaneously, revenue growth has decreased year to year, from 12.8% between 2021 to 2022 to only 3.9% between 2024 to 2025.

Amanda Distel, NU’s chief financial officer, identified “rising benefits expenses, litigation, new labor contracts, and rapidly unfolding federal actions” as key challenges in fiscal year 2025 in the report.

Before the deal, NU invested between $30 to $40 million each month to sustain research impacted by the federal freeze, interim President Henry Bienen confirmed in an Oct. 24 interview with The Daily.

In an attempt to reduce costs, the University announced a switch in July to UnitedHealthcare from Blue Cross Blue Shield as the University’s employee health care administrator, effective Jan. 1. However, faculty and staff have reported increased out-of-pocket costs for certain services like mental health care.

Financial aid increased from $618.3 million in fiscal 2024 to $638.3 million in fiscal year 2025. Among undergraduate students in the 2024-25 school year, 15% are first-generation college students and 22% receive federal Pell Grants. According to the report, most families earning less than $70,000 per year attend at no cost, and most families earning less than $150,000 per year attend tuition-free.

Tuition is the second largest source of revenue behind grants and contracts. By the end of the fiscal year, the University held $778 million in outstanding conditional awards, an increase from fiscal 2024’s $713.5 million, according to the report. 

Distel wrote that the number of gift commitments above $100,000 reached its highest in University history, calling it a “strong year of philanthropic support.”

Donor funds are categorized by whether or not restrictions were imposed on the time, use or nature of the donation. In fiscal 2025, University net assets without donor restrictions totaled $9.59 billion, or 59.1%, while net assets with donor restrictions totaled $6.65 billion, or 40.9%, of total net assets.

The University’s investment in construction efforts saw an immense uptick from $275.2 million in fiscal 2024 to $750.5 million in fiscal 2025.

This cost is spread across multiple projects, such as Ryan Field, which started construction in 2024 and is slated to open October 2026. The project operates with a $862 million budget, including a $480 million contribution from the Ryan family.

The Ann McIlrath Drake Executive Center, Cohen Lawn and Jacobs Center renovations also continued during the fiscal year.

Soft-saving era? Gen-Z embraces new financial trend that puts experiences over long-term planning

Soft-saving era? Gen-Z embraces new financial trend that puts experiences over long-term planning

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Many Gen-Zers are adopting a financial approach that prioritizes quality of life in the present, a trend that’s being called “soft saving.”

Bob Wheeler, a CPA, described the mindset as a shift in how young adults balance their current lifestyle with longterm planning.

“It’s really a financial approach of ‘I want to make sure I have a good quality of life, and I’m thinking about the future,’ but not as much as the present,” Wheeler said.

For many Gen Z consumers, that can mean spending more on experiences – like vacations or concerts – rather than saving for major purchases like a car or home.

Wheeler said the approach can offer emotional benefits.

“I think there are definitely benefits, I mean, less anxiety, feeling like life is what you want it to be, fulfillment, versus saving for later on,” he said.

Still, financial experts caution against ignoring longterm stability. Wheeler encouraged young workers to take advantage of employer-sponsored retirement plans.

“They’re not going to do the max. They’re going to do enough to make sure they’re getting the match from your employer, so maybe they’re doing 3% or 5%. Maybe they’re not maxing out their IRAs. Maybe they’re doing $2,500,” he said.

He also stressed the importance of building an emergency fund, typically enough to cover six months of expenses.

“I want people to enjoy their life now because tomorrow is not promised,” Wheeler said. “I also just really reiterate to them ‘and you need to have some money set aside because we don’t know.’”

But saving for a home may not be practical for everyone. In some places, renting can be cheaper, and tenants avoid maintenance costs.
