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.
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.

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.
