Consisting of experienced, motivated, creative, self-sufficient, and savvy high performers in the finance and accounting fields, our team handles the core accounting roles at Google. We have a preference for those who like to work and play hard and who are enthused about working on collaborative global teams while performing M&A;, external reporting, and internal audit functions.
With the end goal of providing the highest levels of service and efficiency at the lowest attainable cost, the FinOps team designs and executes Google’s core finance transaction processes. These include order-to-cash, payroll, procure-to-pay, and travel.
In addition to assisting business leaders throughout the company with all finance-related matters, the Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) organization is also consistently looked upon to provide analytical perspectives to important strategic decisions. Our mandate is to design, implement, and manage the processes that support business needs. This includes developing financial forecasts and analyses, generating internal management reports, monitoring key performance indicators, and driving the scaling and automation of financial processes. We also provide decision support and conduct financial reviews of a wide range of business issues -- from deal analysis to data center rollouts.
Google’s Strategy & Development team plans, implements, and deploys strategic initiatives dedicated to process and system improvements across all of Finance. Our responsibilities include leading cross-organization project management, improving communication among Finance teams, serving as a liaison between Finance and IT on infrastructure projects, and providing strategic staff development, training, and rotation programs.

The Tax group is responsible for global tax planning and compliance, defending the company in tax audits, and ensuring that the company accurately reports its tax matters in public filings.
