Cloud Cost Optimization Tool for Finance| Costimizer

The Biggest Challenges Finance Teams Face in Managing Cloud Spend

To tell the truth, it can seem impossible to control cloud spend. By the time you receive the bill, the money is already lost. As a finance leader, you are likely to be up at night because of these challenges.

Monthly Expense Spike: You receive a huge, complicated bill 30 days late. You notice a 30% spike in an indistinct service category, and it is too late to do anything but pay it.
Absence of Transparency in Costs: You require budget figures in your business units in the next quarter, and you are merely guessing. When you can not even explain the past, how can you plan the future?
No Clear Ownership: You are aware that the company is squandering money, but you do not know who is responsible. Engineering, Marketing, and R&D all point fingers, and you're stuck in the middle with an unallocated cost report.
Manual Reporting: You spend the first week of each month exporting CSVs and living in spreadsheets, trying to manually attribute costs. By the time you get through, the information is already outdated.

Finance Teams: The Old Way vs. The Costimizer Way

❌Old Way	✅Costimizer Way
Finance operates in silos, disconnected from engineering and FinOps teams.	Finance, Engineering, and FinOps work together on a single platform and share cost visibility.
CAPEX vs. OPEX complexity confuses budget management.	Costimizer standardises spending patterns, enhancing predictability and easing financial classification.
Manual reconciliations and chargebacks are done at the end of the month.	Automated showback and chargeback simplify reporting and cost recovery, including full audit trails.
Decision-making is reactive; finance reacts only after overruns have occurred.	Decision-making is proactive; the finance team anticipates and prevents cost overruns before they happen.

Do's and Don'ts for Finance Teams

✅Do's	❌Don'ts
Integrate finance early in cloud cost decisions	Review cloud bills at the end of the month
Track costs per product, team, or environment	Treat cloud spend as a single undivided expense
Align cloud budgeting with business objectives	Separate financial planning from cloud operations
Rely on Costimizer, we give you recommendations on how you can save everytime.	Rely on native cloud billing tools. They are designed to report, not to control.
