What do you like best about Fathom?

Shee was instrumental in helping us build a customized quarterly reporting template that aligned perfectly with our multi-state property and self-storage KPIs. Her responsiveness, technical insight, and collaborative approach made the process smooth and efficient. The final product elevated our reporting clarity and audit-readiness.

Fathom itself is a fantastic platform — intuitive, powerful, and flexible. It allows us to benchmark performance, visualize trends, and present financials with precision. The ability to tailor reports to our operational needs has made it an essential part of our strategic toolkit. Highly recommended for any business serious about financial transparency and performance tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fathom makes financials well fathomable!"
What do you like best about Fathom?

Fathom is a fantastic tool that makes creating beautiful comprehendible financial statements easy and scalable. The ability to design reports your clients understand sticks out as the most important attribute in a financial reporting tool directed at advisory services. Taking these reports, standardizing them as a base to build upon helped ups to scale our implementation and provide our team with a common language of which to communicate with clients.

Clients understood the graphical nature of the reports as opposed to a sea of numbers they had been presented with in the past. This opened the client’s ability to ask questions for the first time and understand how their businesses could grow.

Internally it was a huge time saver, making it easy to publish and send reports in only a few clicks. The team found this feature to be among their favorites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fathom?

The only thing I dislike about Fathom is that published reports remain dynamic and will update if you update the general ledger software. For us, I would rather these reports lock down so they are the same as when we sent them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
