Can you consolidate divisions in Fathom?
Fathom's consolidation features allow you to group multiple entities together, to easily view their combined performance from an overall view.
You can also use these consolidation features with your divisions if you wish to group similar divisions from different companies. Please note that this will require you to import your divisions as separate entities in Fathom.
You are able to consolidate divisions where the parent companies originate from different source accounting systems.
Example: A business operates in 3 locations (single company entities) and each location is comprised of 2 divisions ('Division A - Overhead' & 'Division B - Retail'). The finance team wants to combine all of the Retail divisions into one entity or consolidated group.
