Solution
Make sense of complex Azure billing.
EA, MCA, CSP, multi-region, multi-currency, RIs, savings plans, hybrid benefit, M365 entitlements — CloudMonitor unifies them all.
The problem
Why Azure billing is hard.
Multiple agreement types.
EA and MCA invoices use different schemas. CSP invoices are different again.
Multi-currency reconciliation.
Subscriptions in USD, EUR, AUD — and the FP&A team needs one number.
Hidden cost types.
RIs, savings plans, hybrid benefit, marketplace charges — easy to double-count, easy to miss.

Dynamic tagging with Smart Tags
Cost groups, end to end.
Define
Build a cost group from dynamic tag rules.
Smart Tags allocate spend by rule — tag patterns, subscriptions, and resource matches — so a new project is attributed automatically the moment its resources appear, with an allocation-coverage meter showing how much of the bill is mapped.
Review
Every cost group at a glance.
The FinOps overview pairs effective cost, billed cost, and total-savings KPIs with a daily spend-by-cost-group chart — the single place finance and platform teams reconcile a complex bill.
