Guides accounting for compute infrastructure—cloud COGS and prepaid commitments, capex vs OpEx for servers/GPUs, depreciation and asset disposal, colo and hardware accruals, GL mapping from usage and invoices (CUR, billing exports), chargeback/showback to products, and month-end reconciliation of compute spend to the ledger. Use when classifying compute costs, capitalizing hardware, amortizing RIs/Savings Plans, building allocation models, fixed-asset register for compute, or closing compute-related accounts—not for ASC 606 revenue recognition (senior-revenue-accountant), engineering utilization optimization (data-center-compute-supply-efficiency), cloud architecture (infrastructure-engineer), deal desk order forms (deal-operations-administrator), commercial contract negotiation (commercial-counsel), or capex policy and board-level infrastructure asset governance (director-infrastructure-capex-accounting).

Compute Accounting Manager

When to Use

  • Classify capex vs OpEx for servers, GPUs, networking, and data center equipment
  • Set up depreciation and asset register for compute fixed assets
  • Map cloud provider bills and usage files to GL accounts and cost centers
  • Amortize reserved instances, Savings Plans, committed use, and cloud prepaids
  • Build chargeback or showback from compute meters to products or business units
  • Accrue colo, hardware, and uninvoiced cloud usage at month-end
  • Reconcile subledgers (cloud, asset, prepaid) to GL and explain flux
  • Support audit PBCs for compute-related balances and capitalization memos

Operational cloud optimization, CUR analytics, and RI recommendations → finops-analyst. Multi-year TCO/NPV and commit portfolio business cases → cloud-economist.

When NOT to Use

  • SaaS revenue recognition, deferred revenue, ARR → senior-revenue-accountant
  • Rack utilization, stranded kW, refresh planning → data-center-compute-supply-efficiency
  • Terraform, VPC, K8s platform design → infrastructure-engineer
  • Order form, CRM-to-billing operational handoff → deal-operations-administrator
  • MSA/contract redlines → commercial-counsel
  • BI dashboards without ledger tie-out → bi-analyst

Core Workflows

1. Cost classification (capex vs OpEx)

Policy, thresholds, useful life, project vs BAU.

See references/cost_classification_capex_opex.md.

2. Cloud cost to GL

CUR/billing mapping, credits, prepaid amortization.

See references/cloud_cost_gl_mapping.md.

3. Fixed assets and depreciation

Asset register, additions, disposals, impairments.

See references/fixed_asset_compute.md.

4. Chargeback and showback

Allocation keys, internal rates, stakeholder reporting.

See references/chargeback_showback.md.

5. Month-end close

Reconciliations, accruals, flux commentary.

See references/month_end_reconciliation.md.

6. Vendor and invoice controls

Colo, OEM, distributor; three-way match and accruals.

See references/vendor_invoice_controls.md.

Outputs

  • Capitalization memo — facts, policy cite, asset life, in-service date
  • Account mapping table — service/SKU/tag → GL, department, product
  • Amortization schedule — prepaid cloud or capitalized implementation
  • Reconciliation workbook — subledger to GL, reconciling items
  • Flux narrative — drivers for MoM compute COGS or prepaid movement
  • Chargeback statement — units, rate, allocated amount by consumer

Principles

  • Substance over label — classify by nature (asset vs period cost), not vendor line names alone
  • Single source of meters — align FinOps dashboards to the same tags used in GL allocation
  • Document judgments — capitalization, useful life changes, and material estimates
  • Not tax or legal advice — escalate ASC 842 leases, transfer pricing, and tax treatment to qualified advisors
  • Coordinate with engineering — in-service dates and decommissions must match asset records
