Les Schwab

The Challenge

Les Schwab sought greater visibility and control over its growing AWS spend across multiple business units. As workloads expanded, the company lacked a unified cost-allocation framework linking accounts, tags, and cost categories.

The Solution

• Reviewed AWS account structure and tagging standards for proper separation by business function, environment, and cost center
• Defined cost-allocation strategy combining accounts, tags, and AWS Cost Categories for complete spend traceability
• Configured mappings for integration with Power BI for daily visibility and showback
• Deployed Cloud Financial Management roles via AWS CloudFormation StackSets
• Conducted detailed usage and rate optimization analysis
