# Create a Cloud Cost Management account
Creating a Cloud Cost Management account is the first step. Once the account is successfully created, your cost data will be imported and soon available to explore.
In order to do that, you need adequate credentials/permissions that can access your cost data.
If you don't have a fitting credential in Cycloid, the creation process will guide you to make a new one. After that, account configuration will take place.
# Provider support
Currently, Cloud Cost Management supports a limited number of providers and account types, but additional providers can be added on request.
