Tech Cost & FinOps

Bring financial discipline to tech spend — cloud FinOps, SaaS rationalization, build-vs-buy economics and per-unit tech cost benchmarks.

Why it matters

Cloud + SaaS + AI spend grows 40–60% YoY without discipline. A real FinOps practice typically recovers 15–30% of run-rate — and gives finance the per-unit economics they need to model gross margin.

Scope covered

Cloud cost audit & FinOps optimization plan (rightsizing, RIs, savings plans)

SaaS & licence rationalization (consolidate, renegotiate, eliminate)

Build-vs-buy economic framework

Per-unit tech cost & cost-per-transaction benchmarks

Tech budget & forecasting model

Showback / chargeback by team & product

Anomaly detection + monthly review cadence

How we run it

Senior-led delivery sequence

A senior-led delivery sequence — not a template dump. Each phase is operated with your team, not handed over as a deck.

01
Week 1
Spend baseline
Pull 12 months of cloud + SaaS + AI spend; tag, allocate and build per-team / per-product / per-env showback model.
02
Week 2
Cloud FinOps levers
Identify rightsizing, RI / SP, idle and storage-tier opportunities; quantify savings and sequence the 90-day plan.
03
Week 3
SaaS rationalization
Run consolidate / renegotiate / eliminate workshop per app; reset per-seat economics and renewal calendar with finance.
04
Week 4–5
Per-unit & cadence
Lock per-unit cost benchmarks, anomaly alerts and monthly FinOps review with CTO + CFO; commit to quarterly targets.
