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 require a wide breadth and depth of skills from accounting, cross-functional engagement (Controllership, FP&A, Tax), and project management, to the ability to navigate ambiguity and manage, build, and develop an accounting team. You will lead crucial monthly and quarterly Variable Interest Entity (VIE) consolidation assessments, oversee global revenue-related issue tracking, and manage consolidated revenue reporting and associated controls.
