About

Run by one person, on purpose

FinOps730 LLC is a solo advisory practice. No account managers, no handoffs — the person who runs your audit is the person you talk to.

Stephen Matthews

Founder of FinOps730 LLC. Background in hands-on AWS architecture — serverless systems built on Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, S3/CloudFront, Cognito, and SES — combined with a FinOps Certified Practitioner credential focused specifically on cloud cost management.

FinOps730 exists for a specific gap: startups past the free-credits honeymoon but too early to justify a full-time cost hire. The audit process and monitoring cadence are built around that stage, not enterprise cloud governance.

Operating principles

Advisory only

We never hold production credentials or console access. Findings are handed to you or your engineering team to execute.

Fixed fee

Two tiers, flat pricing. No hourly billing surprises, no percentage-of-savings clawbacks.

Scoped tightly

3 accounts included per engagement, additional accounts scoped separately. Predictable coverage, predictable pricing.
