If you're the CFO
You cannot defend the cloud line. You need a defensible attribution model, forecasts you can budget against, and a cloud bill you can explain to the board.
Aureon is a FinOps advisory practice that builds the operating model to bring cloud spend under financial control and connect it to business performance.
Across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid estates.
What happens when cloud is treated as overhead, not investment.
Your AWS bill arrives 40% higher than expected, again
You can't explain which workloads drive which costs
Up to 35% of your spend delivers zero business value
Your CFO sees cloud as a cost problem, not an innovation engine
You lack the internal expertise to fix it (and hiring a full FinOps team costs $300K+)
You cannot defend the cloud line. You need a defensible attribution model, forecasts you can budget against, and a cloud bill you can explain to the board.
Every cloud conversation lands as a cost cut, not a choice. You need a cost-to-serve model that connects what engineering builds to what the business pays, so the next review is about value, not blame.
Designed around your business model
Build a defensible view of where cloud dollars go and what the business is getting for them. The Baseline produces an attribution model that ties every dollar to the team, product, or workload that owns it, maps spend to the business outcomes it serves, and grounds cost optimisation decisions in business context rather than rate cards in isolation. Four entry points, structured around where your practice starts.
