Across ten years, our recipe for success has been simple: solve customer problems and provide a rich customer experience and steady, sustainable growth will look after itself,” said David Watson.

“We designed Fathom twelve years ago to help business managers understand, measure, and forecast the numbers that matter to their business. In the current environment, financial management and analysis is even more critical for businesses and advisors. Staying focused on being valuable to our customers is how we continue to grow globally as part of The Access Group.”
