Cloud Finance Association: Where Finance Pros Collaborate to Maximize Cloud ROI

The Cloud Finance Association (CFA) is here! Moneta, alongside Squire Technology and Tanner LLC, is thrilled to introduce this new community designed to empower accounting and finance professionals in navigating and maximizing cloud finance. After years of hard work and collaboration with accounting and finance professionals, the CFA has officially launched to provide a shared space where these experts can come together, deepen their understanding of cloud financial management, and develop skills to drive smarter cloud investments.

Why Cloud Finance Matters More Than Ever

Cloud technology is transforming industries at an unprecedented pace, driving widespread adoption. However, with this rapid evolution, managing cloud finances has grown increasingly complex, often leading to billions of dollars in overspending due to underutilized resources and inefficient management.

Finance teams play a critical role in making cloud investments pay off and are well-positioned to lead this charge, however, they are not adequately included in cloud spend discussions. To empower finance professionals in this mission, Moneta, Squire, and Tanner created the CFA: a platform that provides the tools and community needed to better collaborate with engineering teams and maximize cloud value.

By placing finance and accounting professionals at the forefront of cloud spend management, the CFA enables them to turn potential financial drains into value-generating assets. Moneta’s expertise in optimizing cloud costs demonstrates that finance professionals are instrumental in driving cloud success by managing expenses, enhancing efficiencies, and aligning investments with business goals.

What the Cloud Finance Association Brings to the Table

At the CFA, finance and accounting professionals join a community centered on practical cloud financial management. Here, they can connect to exchange best practices, tackle challenges, and explore innovative strategies in cloud financial management. Members will have access to:

• Educational Events and Conferences: With CPE-qualified learning opportunities, the CFA provides a venue for professionals to gain critical knowledge that keeps them ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving world of cloud finance.
• Collaboration and Networking: Through workshops, forums, and special events, members can connect with others facing similar challenges. The CFA offers valuable perspectives from peers and experts alike.
• Cutting-Edge Tools and Methodologies: Cloud finance management requires a specialized set of tools, and CFA membership includes access to industry-leading methodologies that empower finance and accounting professionals to confidently make data-driven cloud investment decisions.
