   2. Currency - (Required) Select the currency that your cloud service provider bills you in.

   3. Administrator - (Required) Fill out the contact form. You'll need to enter the contact details of the administrator who will manage your account. This admin will be assigned the Organization admin role in FinOps.

When selecting a Currency, make sure to choose the correct one, as it can't be changed after the agreement has been created. You must select the same currency that your cloud provider (like AWS or Azure) uses for billing. For example, if you are billed in USD, you must select USD from the list. If you choose a different currency, you won't be able to import the cost and usage data from your cloud provider.
