Most finance teams can tell you what the cloud cost last month
Very few can tell you what it will cost next quarter. Fewer still can prove that last quarter’s savings landed. That is not a failure of diligence. The tools watching cloud and AI spend were built for the people who generate it, not the people accountable for it. They report well. They rarely prove.

What arco does
Five things finance cannot do without
Pillar 01
Visibility
See spend the way the business is organised, not the way the infrastructure is tagged. Every dollar carries an owner.
Pillar 02
Forecasting
Rolling forecasts your team can adjust and defend. Rebuilt against actuals, not extrapolated from a run rate.
Pillar 03
Governance
Commitments and enterprise discount programs reviewed continuously. Exposure surfaces while there is still time to act on it.
Pillar 04
AI Economics
Model, token and GPU cost attributed to the product and the transaction that caused it. The margin question becomes answerable.
Pillar 05
Reconciliation
Savings checked against what actually reached the ledger, then fed back into the same view where they were promised.
What arco does
What did AI cost last quarter, by product?
Most finance teams can answer the first half of that question. Very few can answer the second, because nothing in the stack was built to attribute inference cost to the thing that caused it. Arco attributes model, token and GPU cost to the application, the team, the customer and the outcome — and produces one fully loaded cost per transaction.
Know the owner
Every dollar of AI consumption has a business home.
Know the true cost
Direct consumption, shared platforms and human effort in one number.
Know where to act
Cost assessed against margin, cost-to-serve and unit economics.
How it works
From every bill to one answer.
Step 1
Bring it in
A connector for each source on a schedule: provider bills, marketplace charges, router and gateway logs. Your data stays in your own accounts.
Step 2
Tidy it up
One record per request, one currency, one unit. Usage counted once, and every total tied back to the invoice.
Step 3
Name the owner
Each record joined to your own structure: login to application, application to capability, capability to cost centre.
Step 4
Put it to work
Dashboards per team, budgets that alert before month end, a ranked list of savings and a forecast finance can defend.
Built on AWS-native services. QuickSight for reporting, DeepAR for forecasting, Amazon Q for plain-English questions of the data.
