Overview
As AWS adoption grows, cloud spend often becomes one of an organisation's largest operational expenses. Maintaining visibility, forecasting accuracy, cost allocation, and optimisation across a growing cloud estate can become increasingly challenging. Perform Partners helps organisations strengthen cloud financial governance by combining AWS partner billing with structured FinOps optimisation and ongoing advisory support.
How It Works
The AWS Billing-as-a-Service offering provides a seamless transition of AWS billing via Perform Partners while maintaining full ownership and control of your AWS environment. Your workloads, architecture, security model, and operational processes remain unchanged. Through an initial FinOps assessment and ongoing optimisation activities, we help identify opportunities to improve efficiency, enhance visibility, and support better financial decision-making across cloud operations.

- Quarterly reporting and optimisation reviews - Recurring analysis with actionable recommendations

Why Perform Partners
Unlike self-service FinOps tools or ticket-based support models, this service combines billing transition with a named account manager who delivers personalised optimisation recommendations on an ongoing basis. CloudCheckr enterprise-grade tooling covering cost, security, availability, and utilisation is bundled into the service rather than procured and managed separately. The zero-disruption billing transition means no changes to your existing workloads, security configurations, or operational processes at any point.
By combining AWS partner billing with structured FinOps practices, organisations gain greater control over cloud expenditure, improved forecasting confidence, and ongoing optimisation opportunities as their AWS estate evolves.
Prerequisites and Scope
- Suitable for organisations with active AWS environments across public sector, regulated, and commercial sectors
- Billing transition requires AWS account owner involvement and appropriate IAM permissions
- Service covers a single AWS Organization; multi-Organization engagements can be scoped during discovery
- No changes required to existing workloads, security configurations, or operational processes
- A discovery call is conducted prior to onboarding to confirm estate scope and requirements
Data Handling and Access Controls
Perform Partners accesses cost and usage data through the billing relationship. Access is governed by least-privilege principles, and data is handled in accordance with applicable data protection requirements.

Highlights
- Seamless billing transition with zero disruption - Move your AWS billing to Perform Partners without changes to workloads, architecture, or security controls. Onboarding is managed remotely with a dedicated advisor, and a discovery call scopes your estate before any transition begins. Suitable for public sector, regulated, and commercial organisations operating single or multi-account AWS environments.
- Enterprise-grade FinOps tooling bundled into the service - Receive an initial FinOps assessment, monthly spend reports with actionable recommendations, and full CloudCheckr platform access covering cost analysis, security posture, availability monitoring, and utilisation insights - all included rather than procured and managed separately. Deliverables are tailored to your AWS estate and designed to improve forecasting accuracy and cost allocation.
- Named account manager providing ongoing optimisation - rather than ticket-based or self-service support - Unlike competitors offering automated recommendations alone, a dedicated account manager delivers continuous cost optimisation guidance based on usage trends, reserved instance coverage, and rightsizing opportunities. Quarterly reviews ensure your organisation captures savings as your AWS environment evolves, with support spanning governance, forecasting, and cloud financial management.
