What David T. means is that you could ask your accountant why(s)he
thinks it is necessary to 'close the books.' 

GnuCash has other tools and methods available, such as several income
and expense type of reports that can be restricted to only show one year
of activity, and the ability to create backups (or copies of backups)
that can be made 'read-only' by the operating system and/or written to
write-once type of media such as CD-ROM.  Many GnuCash users never
'close the books.'  Very few have seen their files grow so large that
they suffer a burdensome speed-of-response penalty, even after more than
a decade.
