How companies, divisions, and groups are billed for in Fathom

Updated over a week ago

What is considered a company in Fathom?

A company in Fathom links to a single company file or entity in your accounting system.
​
In Xero for example, a company is referred to as an organisation. So one Xero organisation will become a single company in Fathom. Similarly, a single QuickBooks Online company equates to one in Fathom. A company loaded from an Excel file also counts as a single company in Fathom.

Fathom Pro or Portfolio?

Companies imported as or upgraded to Fathom Pro will count towards your Fathom Pro company count and be billed as part of a Fathom Pro plan. Companies imported as or downgraded to Portfolio will count towards your Portfolio company count and be billed as part of a Portfolio plan.

Learn more about the features for each plan from our β€˜Fathom Pro v Portfolio’ article. Learn more about pricing details from our pricing page.

πŸ’‘Smart Tip: Use our pricing calculator to help you calculate your likely monthly subscription amount.


Divisions

If you have imported divisions for a company (e.g. classes, tracking categories, departments, locations, or categories), these are brought into Fathom as part of the single company. They are not charged separately unless imported as standalones.

Standalone divisions

Customers may import a division as a standalone if they want to add a budget to a division, use divisions in a consolidated or benchmark group, forecast for a division, or compare divisions on the Insights Dashboard. When a division is imported as a standalone company, it is charged as a company.

πŸ“ Note: Please reach out to our Support Team to discuss standalone pricing.


Consolidated & Benchmark Groups

Consolidated groups and benchmark groups are not included in the company count or charged as part of a subscription plan.

Our plans are only billed on the number of imported companies - only the underlying entities in a group will contribute to the overall company count. All underlying companies in a consolidated group must be on a Fathom Pro plan.

Eliminations Company

An Excel eliminations company counts as a single company in Fathom for billing purposes.

If you contact Fathom support, we will provide a free company slot to cover your Eliminations company. You must reach out to our team (support@fathomhq.com) as the Eliminations company is not automatically waived.
