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.

Google Controllers manage the core accounting and compliance responsibilities. In this role, you will advise on financial and accounting matters and review, analyze, and interpret data for accounting and reporting. You will collaborate with global teams and advocate best practices.

The name Google came from "googol," a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. And nobody at Google loves big numbers like the Finance team when providing in depth analysis on all manner of strategic decisions across Google products. 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.

Responsibilities
  • Ensure accurate business recognition by conducting reviews of cloud commit agreements, aligning with ASC 606 standards.
  • Evaluate customer agreements and document technical business assessment (e.g., relative standalone selling price analysis) and influence agreement structures during negotiations to optimize financial terms and support agreements.
  • Collaborate with Cloud Technical Accounting to analyze non-standard agreement terms and optimize business outcomes.
  • Identify and leverage technology to automate and innovate internal processes, support the development and implementation of a guided agreement review tool, develop and maintain knowledge of Google products, and create solutions to enable accounting for new product launches and business opportunities.
  • Participate in cross-team initiatives towards process improvements and efficiencies by incorporating business partner and team feedback and industry best practices.
