About Fathom Forensic Accounting, LLC

Integrity - Excellence - Results

Fathom Forensic Accounting LLC is a Georgia CPA firm that specializes in fraud prevention, detection, and investigation. Fathom delivers individualized services to every client with integrity and excellence. We understand the challenges facing small to mid-size churches, private schools, nonprofit organizations, and closely-held businesses and are committed to making forensic accounting services accessible to you.

Experience and Expertise

Fathom Forensic Accounting, LLC is led by Joan O’Dowd, a former FBI Forensic Accountant with over 12 years of investigative, for-profit, nonprofit, and government accounting experience. She is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF), and Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) who educates and equips clients to protect themselves against fraud, conducts fraud investigations, and assists in seeking justice and restitution.

Addressing the Threat

Internal and external threats to small and mid-size organizations continue to increase, both in magnitude and in sophistication. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), CFEs estimate that organizations lose five percent of revenue to fraud annually. Internal threats, also known as occupational fraud, include asset misappropriation, such as theft, payment schemes, and skimming, as well as corruption. External threats include investment scams, advanced fee schemes, and business email compromise.
