QuickBooks Removed Fathom. What Do I Do?

by | May 26, 2022

The Absence of Fathom

Fathom HQ has been part of the QuickBooks Online Advanced reporting package since October 2018. However, on August 1st, 2022, Fathom will no longer be included in the QuickBooks Advanced subscription. This has left many wondering what to do next.

What to Do Now

Fathoms’ Smart Reporting free offer is ending soon, leaving many questions about why QuickBooks is removing the reporting solution from its advanced subscription. As of August 1st, users will have to pay to use Fathom or find a different reporting solution to integrate with QuickBooks.

What was Lacking

Although Fathom provided a solution to QuickBooks Online Advanced users for years, the tool has some limitations that advanced reporting solutions can address. A tool like Reach Reporting provides an extensive, customizable reporting solution that helps accountants gain control of their reports. With Fathom removed from the QuickBooks Advanced subscription, there are other reporting solutions to consider.

 

What to Look For

When choosing a reporting solution, it is important to consider the following:

  • How customizable and flexible the tool is.
  • Can you create and add to a personalized library?
  • Can you turn your work into an automated solution?
  • Does the solution allow you to do more than compliance reports?

 

More than Basic Reporting

Reach Reporting provides more than a basic report solution by offering custom reporting solutions with built-in spreadsheet functionality. The tool also provides instant access to all connected data and allows users to auto-tailor each report to any connected client data. Reach Reporting also allows for sharing of templates with your entire team, connecting to multiple data sources, and is poised for future possibilities.

 

Final thoughts

The absence of Fathom from QuickBooks Advanced subscription has made it imperative to look for a reporting solution that meets current and future demands. Reach Reporting provides a customizable, cutting-edge reporting solution that puts accountants back in control of their reports. Don’t continue to pay for a reporting solution that limits your ability to provide customized reports for your clients.
