Cost of the cloud is rapidly increasing in price, and if you are an MSP, your clients are looking for better ways to handle these costs. This is where you need to step in for not only managing the cloud infrastructure but also enabling them to manage the cloud spending in a controlled manner.
This is where the concept of FinOps (Cloud Financial Operations) comes in. It is not simply about reducing costs, but rather about improving effectiveness at spending on the cloud, while making it easier to forcast the expenses. For you as an MSP, offering FinOps isn’t just an added service; it enhances customer relationships and creates new revenue opportunities making it a ‘game-changer’.
In this blog post, I am going to tell you why you should consider investing in FinOps, the most important reasons it has, and how Turbo360 helps you offer FinOps service hassle free for your customers.
Why should you offer FinOps?
1. Your customers are looking for cloud cost reduction actively
Due to the cloud adoption, its utilization has grown immensely, and consequently its expenses have increased manifold as well. Having better control over finances is essential for your customer, and by providing FinOps, you can ensure that. Assisting customers in optimizing cost has gone from being a value-added service to be a default in the service package.
2. Strengthen Customer Relations
When it comes to just handling the cloud infrastructure, customers might consider you to be interchangeable. However, if you assist them in eliminating waste and managing their budget effectively, you become an essential partner rather than just another vendor.
3. New Revenue Streams for Your MSP Business
FinOps services can be packaged as an add-on or baked into your existing offerings to increase revenue. Instead of just managing infrastructure, you can monetize cloud cost optimization as a separate, high-value service.
4. Simplified Compliance & Governance
Your customers need cost transparency to stay compliant with internal policies and external regulations. If you provide FinOps services, you help them ensure financial accountability while avoiding unexpected cloud bills.
The Key Benefits of Azure FinOps for You as An MSP

With the help of FinOps, your clients will never be shocked by charges as they can see exactly where their money is going based on the services/business units being consumed —no more surprise bills! You can provide your customers with the possibility to see their own cloud expenditure in real time.
2. Advanced cost optimization
With smart spending monitoring, waste, idle resources and potential savings can be detected with automation, all without needing manual analysis of data.
3. Real Time cost monitoring
The downside with waiting for the client to hit you with a staggering expenditure cloud bill is that you are far too reactive with FinOps. The forgiving cut of monitoring cloud expenditure in real-time means you prevent issues instead of solving them.
4. Advanced Budgeting & Cost forecast
Empower your customers with the ability to predict the expenditure with the help of cloud cost analytics and appropriate spending limits. Predictive analytics can help clients set budgets, making expenses more predictable.
