AWS Billing Conductor (ABC) is a native AWS service that empowers Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to efficiently manage billing across multiple customer accounts within a single AWS Organization. By offering customizable pricing rules and billing views, ABC enables better cost allocation, chargeback modeling, and internal reporting without altering the actual charges of AWE.
