FinOps consulting that does the work.

A tool finds things, and we fix them

Most FinOps products are dashboards, which show where the money goes and hand you a list. Then the list sits in a backlog, because acting on it still means an engineer researching, implementing and verifying each item. The FinOps Foundation's own surveys show most companies have barely started optimizing, and of those that have, few are far along, so the missing piece is someone to do the work rather than more visibility.

We come in hands-on, produce the prioritized list ourselves, then implement it as pull requests in your repositories through your own review and rollout. If you already run a FinOps tool, keep it, since its findings feed our backlog, and your dashboards and your existing backlog are the starting point rather than something to redo.

A lower bill is the visible outcome, but the real one is efficiency, meaning more capacity, performance and reliability out of each dollar. For fast-growing teams the absolute bill often keeps rising because the business is growing, and what drops is the cost per customer or per transaction.

The money is in the long tail of small wins

A commitment or a single big line item is the easy part. Most of the savings sit in a long tail of small changes: a few hundred dollars a month each, with no migration project and no architecture change. None of them on their own are worth half a day of your engineer's time, which is why they never get done.

For us the arithmetic works out differently, because we automated it.

Over many engagements we built tooling that covers most common optimization scenarios end to end, from detection and safety checks to execution and measurement, so what costs your engineer half a day costs us about half an hour. It's still a service, productized by tooling: we never let the tooling act unassisted, and every change ships through your own review.

How we work with your engineers

Engagements go badly when an outside consultant does the work in a corner and hands the savings to executives, because the engineers end up running a system they didn't change and the savings erode after the consultant leaves.

So we work closely with your engineers, give them the same tooling we use, and let them own and take credit for the savings. You choose how hands-on that is:

• Done with you: we work side by side with your team, they participate in the decisions and keep the knowledge behind each change.
• Done for you: we offload as much of the hands-on work as possible. Your engineers review changes instead of researching them, and a weekly sync shows what landed, what it saved and what's next.

The engagement model

You grant read-only access first, so we can produce the prioritized list, then scoped, per-change write access with minimal IAM and no standing admin. Every change goes through your review and rollout, and everyone who touches your account is under NDA.

We work three ways. A scoped project for a flat fee. An ongoing monthly retainer, meaning an agreed block of engineering hours priced case by case against your scope and what you need. Or a share of the savings, typically 10% to 30%, with a lower percentage for larger AWS customers and billed per change for its first 12 months. On the savings-share model, a change that saves nothing isn't billed. All three can go through AWS Marketplace, so the money comes out of the cloud budget you already have. Savings are measured automatically from your real before-and-after billing data, per change, so the number is never an estimate.

It typically costs less than a FinOps SaaS subscription, and we'll agree a cap if you want one.
