Home / What We Do / Cloud FinOps

Cut cloud spend in a quarter. Hold the discipline forever.

We deliver FinOps engagements that produce measurable savings in 90 days and an operating model your finance and engineering teams can run. For BFSI, healthcare, and public sector enterprises whose cloud bill has grown faster than revenue and nobody owns the answer.

What is Cloud FinOps?

The operating discipline that connects finance, engineering, and procurement so cloud spend is visible, owned, optimized, and governed continuously. Not a tagging exercise or a one-time cleanup. Savings hold because accountability, cadence, and policy-as-code outlast any single optimization sprint.

What we inspect, layer by layer

In practice: BFSI leaks sit in data-platform compute and non-prod left running. Healthcare in over-provisioned storage and worst-case retention. Public sector in GovCloud commit posture and accounts drifted out of governance.

Cost Remediation (deadline-driven)

Scoped to severity
4 to 6 weeks · fixed fee

Typical first-year program $260K–$410K. Most clients realize 20–35% cloud spend reduction in the first quarter post-implementation. Exact figures are named on the scoping call and written into the SOW.

Where you are today

Escalation, program, or retainer.

Remediate

Your cloud bill just got escalated.

The number reached the CFO or the board, and someone has to own the answer on a deadline.

Cloud Cost Remediation (4–6 wks, fixed-fee scoped to severity)
You get
Realized savings vs a target in the SOW
Quick-win remediation: rightsizing, RI optimization, idle and zombie cleanup
Cost dashboards with attribution
A defensible finance story
Assess & Build

Do it properly, not in panic mode.

Spend is drifting and nobody owns the discipline; you want the operating model built once, correctly.

Typical phases

Audit, implement, operate.

Phase 01

Cloud Cost Audit

Weeks 1–6 · From $40K

Estate audit and baseline: billing data into one warehouse, top cost drivers, attribution, and a signed savings target for the implementation.

Phase 02

FinOps Implementation

Weeks 7–18 / $120K–$220K

Quick-win remediation against the signed savings target; policy-as-code tagging plus dashboards and alerting; operating rhythm rollout with enablement; handover and runbook.

Phase 03 (optional)

Managed CloudOps Retainer

Month 5+ · From $12K/mo · 12 mo rolling

Monthly optimization cycle, commitment strategy management, onboarding of new accounts and workloads, and a quarterly executive review.

Principles

How we build it.

FinOps is an operating model, not a tool purchase

Named owners, monthly cadence, and finance-engineering accountability outlast any sprint.

The savings target is written into the SOW

Remediation can be paid against realized savings.

Tagging and governance are built as code

Policy-as-code keeps new resources compliant without heroics.

Finance and engineering are one audience

Showback and chargeback both teams can read and act on.

Tech posture

Cloud-agnostic by architectural decision.

FAQ

What finance and engineering ask

Anything else, email the practice.

No, quick wins need almost no engineering time, and architecture fixes run alongside delivery.

AWS, Azure, and GCP, including multi-cloud and the data-platform layer: Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery.

Fixed-scope for diagnostic and remediation; we can structure part of the fee against verified savings.

Realized cloud savings in 90 days, on an operating model your team can run.

Bring the bill. A senior practitioner will tell you where the spend hides and what a defensible target looks like.
