Google Cloud Cost Optimization, done for you

We cut your Google Cloud bill and keep it cut. Independent, vendor neutral, and on your side of the table against the spend. Pay a fixed fee, or pay us only from what we save you. 31% average reduction across 500+ environments.

Google Cloud cost optimization is rarely a tooling problem. Google gives you the Recommender, Active Assist and a detailed billing export. The problem is sequence, ownership and follow-through: knowing which lever to pull first, in which order, and making the savings stick after the project ends. That is what we do.

The problem we solve

A typical Google Cloud bill carries around a third in waste: oversized Compute Engine VMs, idle Cloud SQL, untiered Cloud Storage, BigQuery queries scanning far more than they need, and commitments bought on a bloated baseline. Internal teams know this but rarely have the time or the independent mandate to fix it across every project. We bring both, plus the commitment math and the negotiation leverage that come from optimizing more than 500 environments since 2019.

Our approach: See, Cut, Lock, Run

We run every Google Cloud engagement through the same four steps. It maps to the FinOps phases of Inform, Optimize and Operate, with Lock as the governance step that keeps savings from drifting back.

01 · Inform

See

We stand up the BigQuery billing export, fix labels and the project hierarchy, and map every dollar to an owner. You cannot cut what you cannot trace.

02 · Optimize

Cut

Rightsize VMs with Recommender, move batch to Spot, clear idle disks and IPs, tier Cloud Storage, tune BigQuery and GKE. Then, and only then, commit.

03 · Govern

Lock

Budgets, anomaly alerts and guardrails so a new project does not undo the work. Commitments structured on the rightsized baseline.

04 · Operate

Run

Continuous monitoring, fresh CUDs as the fleet changes, and a unit cost that keeps falling as you scale on Google Cloud.

What is included

Billing and visibility

BigQuery billing export, allocation by label and project, and a clear baseline you can measure savings against.

Rightsizing

Compute Engine, Cloud SQL, persistent disks and idle resource cleanup using Recommender and Active Assist.

Commitments

Resource-based and spend-based CUD strategy, sized on a clean fleet, plus enterprise agreement and discount review.

Data and containers

BigQuery editions versus on-demand, query and storage tuning, and GKE Autopilot, Spot and bin packing.

Storage and egress

Cloud Storage class and lifecycle policies, inter-region and egress modeling to remove networking surprises.

Governance

Budgets, alerts, logging cost control, and forecasting so the savings hold after we leave.

Three ways to pay

You choose the model that fits your risk appetite. The performance fee is the differentiator: if we save you nothing, you pay nothing, because we carry the risk.

Model 01

Fixed fee

Scoped to the engagement

A defined price for a defined scope. Best when you want a known cost and a clear deliverable.

  • Predictable budget
  • Clear start and end
  • Full method applied
Model 02

Performance fee

No savings, no fee

We are paid from realized savings only. We carry the risk, so our incentive is your bill going down.

  • Zero downside
  • Aligned incentives
  • Paid from results
Model 03

Managed FinOps

Ongoing monthly service

We run it continuously: monitoring, fresh commitments, anomaly response, monthly reviews.

  • Continuous optimization
  • Monthly reporting
  • Unit cost keeps falling
