CFO of an MSP or Cloud Reseller?
Cloud Billing Complexity: A Threat to Financial Control. Aquila Clouds BillOps Empowers CFOs
As a CFO of an MSP or Cloud Reseller, you shoulder the responsibility of ensuring financial health and driving profitable growth. Yet, the complexities of cloud billing often create blind spots and operational inefficiencies that undermine this mission.
Imagine these scenarios:
Scenario 1: Your team spends days reconciling multiple cloud provider invoices, struggling to match usage data with costs. Timely financial reports are impossible to achieve.
Scenario 2: Chargebacks to clients lack transparency. Disputes arise, hindering cash flow and requiring hours of investigation to resolve.
Scenario 3: You suspect overspending on cloud services, but siloed data prevents you from pinpointing the root cause and optimizing consumption.
Scenario 4: Margins are a mystery. Understanding true costs and profitability by customer or service is essential for strategic pricing, but incredibly difficult to calculate.
- Scenario 5: A potential acquisition is on the table. Due diligence becomes a nightmare as you struggle to integrate and analyze disparate billing systems.
- Scenario 6: The board demands greater cost control and accountability. Yet, your current billing setup provides limited visibility for informed decision-making.
