About Fathom

Fathom is a well-established QuickBooks-native KPI and reporting platform — 50+ prebuilt KPIs, a custom report builder, and three-way forecasting — popular with SMBs and accounting-firm advisors. It has published tiers from about $50/mo up to several hundred dollars a month for its higher plans.

Where HealthGuard fits

Fathom is a deep, dedicated reporting platform, and its higher tiers cost more per month than the entire Tech for CFO suite. HealthGuard takes the part most owner-operators actually act on — a single financial health score across liquidity, profitability, efficiency, and leverage, plus the KPIs that drive decisions — and delivers it inside the $199/mo suite. If you want a full custom report builder, Fathom goes deeper; if you want a clear health read and a trend, HealthGuard covers it without a separate tool.
