Ask an Expert: Live with Jessica Morton

39
Mins

Overview

Managing finances for clients means more than producing accurate numbers. It means making sure those numbers are structured in a way that actually supports forecasting, scenario planning, and the kind of conversations that drive real decisions.

In this Ask an Expert session, Jessica Morton, Co-Founder of Jessica & Morton Limited and Fractional CFO to seven or eight businesses, walks through how she builds reporting foundations that clients engage with and trust. Using Fathom's visual reporting features, tracking categories, and KPI tools, Jessica shows how the right setup in the accounting software flows directly into reliable forecasting — and how she gets even the most numbers-averse business owners to buy in.

This session is designed as an exchange of knowledge rather than a presentation, with time dedicated to audience questions and real-world discussion.

In this webinar you'll learn

  • How to structure your chart of accounts and tracking categories so your Fathom reports reflect how the business actually works
  • How to identify the KPIs that matter most to each client and build reports that put those front and centre
  • How to use Fathom's visual features to create reports that business owners understand and engage with — without overwhelming them
  • How a strong reporting foundation connects directly to forecasting, scenario planning, and three-way cash flow visibility in Fathom
