We find at least 20% of your AWS spend to recover — or the audit costs you nothing.
Five working days, read-only access, senior engineers. You get a ranked list of savings with exact dollar amounts, the effort to capture each one, and the order to do it in. Act on it with us or without us — the list is yours.
AWS Managed Service Provider (audited) · Advanced Tier Services Partner · 34–60% cost reduction in documented projects · 700+ projects since 2010
You're here because one of these is true
- Your AWS bill grows faster than your traffic, and nobody can point to the line item.
- Finance asked engineering “why did cloud go up 40%?” and the answer took two weeks and satisfied no one.
- You bought Savings Plans once, in 2023, and nobody has touched commitment strategy since.
- Non-production environments run nights and weekends because turning them off is someone’s manual job.
- You suspect the number is bad but don’t have a senior AWS person free to prove it.
Where AWS money actually leaks
Compute right-sizing
Instances sized for a launch-day guess, not measured utilization. Usually the single biggest line.
Commitment coverage
Savings Plans and Reserved Instances against your real steady-state, not against fear of lock-in.
Spot where it's safe
Batch, CI, stateless workloads. Documented projects cut compute up to 70% on autoscaled fleets.
Non-production scheduling
Dev and staging that sleep when your team does.
Storage & snapshots
Orphaned EBS volumes, unlifecycled S3, snapshot chains nobody dares delete.
Data transfer & NAT
The invisible line items: cross-AZ chatter, NAT gateway processing, egress paths.
Logging & observability costs
CloudWatch ingestion and retention priced like it's free until it isn't.
Architecture-level waste
The findings a script can't see: over-provisioned HA for internal tools, databases that should be serverless, caches doing nothing.
Tools scan for the first six. Senior engineers find the last two — and that’s usually where the biggest number hides.
Five days, read-only, no disruption
1. 30-minute call
You share the monthly bill ballpark and what's bothering you. We confirm the audit makes sense — under a certain spend, the honest answer is "don't pay for an audit," and we'll say so.
2. Read-only access
Cross-account role with billing and read permissions. No changes, no agents, no access to your data.
3. Five working days of analysis
Cost Explorer, CUR data, utilization metrics, architecture review — by engineers, not by a script with a logo.
4. The report
Ranked findings: dollar amount, effort, risk, and implementation order. A number your CFO can read and a plan your engineers can execute.
5. Your choice
Implement in-house with the report, or we implement fixed-price / success-fee. If we found less than 20% of recoverable spend — the audit is free. Simple.
Documented, not “up to”
Foxtrot — e-commerce
AWS costs down 46% through infrastructure migration and dynamic environments. Case study →
Intertop — retail fashion
60% saved on autoscaling, 70% on Spot; AWS spend on Black Friday = 0.05% of that day's online profit. Case study →
FatherShops — PaaS
AWS bill down 34%, infrastructure built for scale from day one. Case study →
Every optimization ships with the performance guardrails intact — cost cutting that causes an outage isn’t savings.
Why the guarantee isn't a trick
The math is on our side
After 700+ projects, we know what a typical unaudited AWS account holds. Twenty percent recoverable is a conservative floor, not bravado — which is why we can put the fee on it.
Read-only means no sales theater
We can't touch anything, so the report can't manufacture work for us. Findings are verifiable in your own Cost Explorer.
The list is yours either way
No lock-in mechanics. Teams implement our reports in-house regularly. Enough of them come back for the next project that we don't need tricks.
Audited operations
The MSP designation means AWS reviewed how we run environments — including cost management as an ongoing discipline, which is what we offer after the audit if you want the savings to survive next quarter.
FAQ
What does the audit cost?
Fixed price, quoted on the 30-minute call once we know your account scale. If we find less than 20% of your spend in recoverable savings, you don’t pay it.
What counts as “recoverable spend”?
Savings you can actually capture with the report’s actions — right-sizing, commitments, scheduling, storage cleanup, architecture fixes — annualized, at your current usage. Not theoretical list-price discounts, not “migrate everything to serverless” fantasies.
Is our bill big enough for this to make sense?
If your AWS spend is small, an audit fee may not pay for itself — and we’ll tell you that on the call instead of taking the engagement. That’s the point of the call.
Will you need write access or install anything?
No. Read-only cross-account role, standard AWS mechanism, revocable by you at any time. No agents, no data access.
Can you implement the findings too?
Yes — fixed price or success fee as a share of captured savings, your choice. Or take the report in-house; it’s written to be executable either way.
How do we keep costs down after the audit?
Cost drifts back without ownership. Under our MSP practice, cost control is part of ongoing operations — right-sizing reviews, commitment management, anomaly response. That’s how audit savings become a permanent number.
Thirty minutes to find out if there's money on the table
Bring last month’s bill. You’ll leave the call knowing whether an audit pays for itself in your case — and if it doesn’t, we’ll say so for free.
