WHY IT EXISTS
Developer observability is not enough. Finance needs operating control.
LLM dashboards show requests, tokens, and latency. CFOs need a different answer: who spent the money, why it moved, whether it matched plan, what should be capped, and what belongs in the board report on Monday.
FOR ENGINEERING
Usage visibility that can survive finance review.
- Provider attribution by workspace, project, and owner.
- Routing recommendations before spend becomes political.
- Forward-to-CFO brief for budget approval conversations.
CONNECTORS
One-click provider connections instead of pasted API keys.

- Anthropic Console — Connected
- Google Vertex AI — Ready

ACCOUNTING
AI spend lands where finance already works.
- NetSuite export by department, vendor, project, and GL code.
- QuickBooks Online sync for SMB and startup finance teams.
- Monthly line items reconcile provider usage to invoice reality.
- Chargeback views make AI cost visible to each business owner.

IMPROVEMENTS APPLIED
Built around budget decisions, not dashboard decoration.
CFO-first operating language
Budget variance, forecast vs. actuals, cost centers, chargeback, and board reporting replace developer-only token talk.
One-click provider connectors
No pasted secrets in the sales story. Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Vertex, Azure OpenAI, and Bedrock through secure provider workflows.
Accounting system handoff
Push monthly AI spend into NetSuite and QuickBooks Online so finance can reconcile AI usage inside the ledger they already trust.
Spend-based pricing
0.5-1% of monthly AI API spend managed, with a $99/month floor and $5,000/month cap. The price scales with value.
