FinOps consulting

AWS FinOps consulting, paid from the savings

We set up a FinOps practice the way the FinOps Framework describes it (inform, optimize, operate) and run it on the Averium platform. You pay a share of the savings we deliver, not an hourly rate.

What's included

A FinOps practice, not a one-off report

Cost allocation & tagging

A tag policy your teams can follow, plus rules-based virtual tags that allocate the spend nobody tagged.

Showback & unit economics

Cost per team, product and environment, and cost per customer or transaction where the data allows it.

Budgets & anomaly alerts

Monthly budgets with forecast alerts and daily anomaly detection, sent to the people who can act on them.

Commitments

Savings Plans sized to your steady usage, never to your peaks, and backed by our commitment cashback guarantee on managed plans.

Waste & rightsizing

Idle resources, oversized instances and orphaned storage found and fixed, with your approval or on autopilot.

Governance & cadence

Monthly reviews, named owners and KPIs, so savings stay saved after the first clean-up.

Funding

No upfront cost

FinOps should pay for itself, so that's how we charge for it.

Averium

The estimate is free. After that, Averium earns a success fee on the savings we actually deliver, reproducible in your own Cost Explorer. Savings you already had are never charged.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from the Averium platform?+

The platform is the tooling; FinOps consulting is the practice around it: allocation rules, budgets, reviews and decisions agreed with your teams. Managed clients get both.

What do we pay?+

A success fee on delivered savings. There's no setup fee and no subscription, and the rate is agreed per account and shown on every invoice. Details are on the pricing page.

What is the FinOps Framework?+

The FinOps Foundation's model for running cloud cost management as a practice: an inform phase (visibility and allocation), an optimize phase (rates and usage) and an operate phase (governance and continuous improvement).

Do we need to fix our tagging first?+

No. Virtual tags allocate untagged spend by rules on accounts, services and resource names, so reporting works from day one while tagging improves in the background.
