Month-end close is slowed more by chasing other teams for inputs and approvals than by accounting work itself, and existing close software doesn't reduce the manual follow-up.

Existing close tools handle workflow tracking but don't automate the human follow-up—the actual nagging and reminders still have to be done manually.
