User Testimonials
	Forecastr	Fathom by The Access Group
Likelihood to Recommend	Forecastr Forecastr is great for any company who is looking to have clarity like never before on their finances, but it may be especially helpful for startups. Incentivized Chris Kirksey CEO Read full review	The Access Group Report could be used in any industry but when it comes to functionality, it is more suitable businesses where there are not many division. I found it hard for Fathom to extract Xero tracking data and to represent it in the financials. If you would like to consolidate the financials, I also find it easy to do it via Fathom Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Forecastr Their onboarding with experienced CFO's is extremely helpful Their forecasting revenue models are easy to understand The budgeting and expenses section is better than anything else I've ever seen before.

Alternatives Considered	Forecastr I wish I found Forecastr years ago. No other software has been able to simplify finances with models and forecasting in a very clear manner like this, plus, with the CFO addition, it's a breath of fresh air for the first time in 8 years of business with finances. Incentivized Chris Kirksey CEO Read full review	The Access Group We also used Spotlight reporting before we tried out Fathom and we found Fathom much easier to navigate and Xero integration, consolidation are very strong feature of the product. Spotlight reporting is similar to Fathom however, Fathom is more flexible, there are better visual reports and grafts and we found it easier to customize the reports templates. You can also share the reports with multiple group of people online. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
