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.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on one of Google’s most dynamic product areas - Play, Android and Chrome ecosystem through which many of our users experience Google. You will be a part of the larger Platforms and Ecosystems Controllership team dedicated to managing financial risks across systems, data, compliance, product launches, finance operations, accounting and reporting. You will partner closely with the business to drive finance alignment and support for these dynamic and growing businesses.

You will partner and assess risks with cross-functional stakeholders, ultimately improving the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control activities across the product portfolio.
