Why Month-End Closing Takes Too Long
An effective month-end close should be complete in six business days or less. But the reality is that only 53% of companies are able to close in that timeframe.
The other half are
taking much longer, meaning their accounting departments spend weeks manually
reconciling statements, doing flux analysis, and other time-consuming tasks.
This timeframe can get
even longer when there’s not enough bandwidth on the team—a challenge most
companies today are familiar with due to the shortage of accounting
talent.
These delays make the
month-end close a nightmare for controllers, who are trying to juggle competing
business priorities, ensure accurate financials, and maintain team morale.
