About the job

Google accountants are a savvy bunch who handle the core accounting responsibilities at Google. You know your accounting principles and the full accounting process end to end. You'll advise on financial reports required by governmental regulations, and review, analyze, and interpret financial and budgetary reports. Every day is a new challenge, and you're continually looking for ways to help our team become more efficient and effective. A team player at heart, you collaborate with our global team, advocate best practices and pitch in where needed. You move fast while keeping your attention to detail, and you tap into your problem-solving skills to support business objectives.

You'll lead an accounting process from end-to-end. Other responsibilities include reconciling balance sheets and P&L accounts, and providing supplementary financial information for internal and external reports.

This role offers a unique opportunity to shape processes and controls for Global Affairs spending at Google. You will be a key driver in aligning processes and systems, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and achieving tangible results. As a team-oriented accountant, you will contribute to a dynamic environment and be an integral part of the financial reporting process. This role also involves close collaboration with global teams and the broader Spend Controllership team, coordinating financial reporting matters across Alphabet.

The name Google came from "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros.

From developing forward-thinking analysis to generating management reports to scaling our automated financial processes, the Finance organization is an important partner and advisor to the business.
