Without realizing it, you've just stated the solution to your problem.  You don't need to keep the "current" month (now the arrears month) open until you've reconciled and finalized your financials.  The "Roll Back" feature is exactly for the issue you're describing.  Roll the month forward, mark the prior month "closed" to prevent inadvertent entries to the month you're finalizing (open when necessary to make an adjusting entry), and then you can print the real current month financials. When the "prior" current month is finalized, use the roll back feature to print those financials.

We understand that but our process is not to close the month until the reports are final.  Since changes are constantly being made and the "this is a prior period" message pops up with each field entry once the month is rolled.

Financial Statements do allow you to modify them (I would copy one and rename it for Future Period use) to use Future Period 1 instead of Current Period.  Once you modify and use a specific period field, you cannot use the roll back feature on this copy.  This article View Document - Sage Knowledgebase provides the steps to take to create a "future period" Statement.
