Organizations often use multiple AWS accounts for security, billing, and organizational purposes. However, managing separate bills, tracking spending across accounts, and identifying cost-saving opportunities becomes increasingly complex without a unified view. Consolidated billing provides a strategic solution.
Consolidated billing transforms how organizations manage multi-account AWS costs and spending

Access a single dashboard to track spending across all accounts and identify optimization opportunities.
Distribute costs across teams and departments with detailed breakdowns and cost allocation tags.
Enforce billing policies, spending controls, and compliance requirements across multiple accounts.
Set Up Multi-Account Billing
Create an organization structure in AWS Organizations and link member accounts to a primary payer account. This consolidates all billing into one account while maintaining separate account management.
Track Spending Across Accounts
Implement cost allocation tags and use AWS Billing tools to monitor spending by account, department, or project. This provides granular visibility into which areas drive costs.
Maximize Savings Through Consolidated Usage
