You can import up to 8 years of monthly data into Fathom. This is a hard limit - if you have 8 years, you'll need to remove earlier periods of financial data in Fathom before being able to import new periods.

We recommend maintaining 5 years of monthly data for the best performance in Fathom.

Fathom supports a maximum of 60 active KPIs for any company/consolidated group. These KPIs can be selected from 'Step 4 - KPIs' of the company setup.

Active KPIs are ONLY used in the display for 'KPI Summary', 'KPI Explorer' and 'Trend' analysis tools. If you need more KPIs for use in reports, you can create more than 60 and keep them 'inactive'. Inactive KPIs can still be selected from variable selectors in other areas of Analysis and Reports in Fathom.

Currently, it is possible to import up to 1,000 non-financial KPIs for a company (both active and inactive). Please get in touch with our Fathom support team if you believe you'll need more than 1,000 non-financial KPIs for a company: support@fathomhq.com.

You can import companies with up to 3000 accounts in your Chart of Accounts. Companies with a Chart of Accounts larger than this cannot be imported into Fathom.

Account names are limited to 50 characters, including spaces. If the number of characters in the account name exceeds 50, the account name will be cut off past the 50-character limit.

You can also choose to include divisions when importing your financial data from your accounting system. This is helpful to filter your results even further.

You can import a maximum of:

If you have more divisions than the above limits, you can still successfully import your company data into Fathom. When viewing your company results as a whole, the total company results shown will be accurate. 

However, you can only filter down to show specific results for the 60 (Xero/QuickBooks Online) or 20 (MYOB/QBD) divisions you've selected for the company. Any data applied to divisions that haven't been imported will be shown as 'Unclassified'.

📝 Note: It is not possible to import divisions from Excel into Fathom.
