Northern FinOps Book a free review

Your AWS bill is probably 20–30% too high.

I find the savings, prioritize them for your team, and the assessment pays for itself several times over. Read-only access. Fixed fee. Run by a CISO.

The problem

Cloud spend grows faster than anyone is watching it. Commitments go unbought. Dev environments run all weekend. NAT Gateways quietly process terabytes that never needed to leave the VPC. Nobody owns the bill until finance asks why it doubled.

Your engineers can fix all of it. They just need someone to tell them exactly where to look, and what's safe to change.

How it works

  1. Free bill review

    30 minutes

    Share your Cost Explorer screen. I'll show you where the money is going and give you an honest savings estimate, even if the answer is "you're in good shape."

  2. Cost assessment

    2–3 weeks, fixed fee

    Read-only access. Commitments, compute, storage, databases, networking, and observability, delivered as a prioritized savings report your team can act on.

  3. Ongoing FinOps

    Optional, monthly

    Commitment management, anomaly alerts, cost reporting, and architecture reviews so the savings stick.

What you get from the assessment

  • Every finding with estimated monthly savings, effort, and risk
  • A Savings Plans and Reserved Instance purchase plan with break-even math
  • Quick wins your team can ship this week
  • Security findings from the same accounts, at no extra charge
  • A 60-minute readout with engineering and finance

The guarantee: if I don't find at least 3x the fee in annual savings, you don't pay the second half.

Security-first by design

I'm a CISO by trade. That shapes how I work.

  • Read-only, always. A view-only cross-account role with an external ID and MFA required. You review the CloudFormation template before deploying it.
  • Advisory only. Your team makes every change in your environment.
  • Your data stays yours. Findings are stored encrypted and deleted at the end of the engagement on request.
  • You get a security review too. Public exposure, IAM hygiene, and logging gaps, found while I'm already looking.

Questions

Do you need access to our AWS account for the free review?

No. You share your screen; nothing leaves your environment.

We already use Trusted Advisor and Compute Optimizer.

Good, they're a starting point. They don't cover commitment strategy, network architecture, or which changes are safe for your workloads.

Do you work with companies outside Canada?

Yes. Canada and the US, fully remote.

Do you make the changes for us?

No. I'm advisory only, which keeps your change control and access policies intact. I'll work alongside your engineers as they implement.
