About the job

Financial Analysts ensure that Google makes sound financial decisions. As a Financial Analyst, your work, whether it's modeling business scenarios or tracking performance metrics, is used by our leaders to make strategic company decisions. Excellent at working on multiple projects at a time, you are focused on the details while finding creative ways to address big picture challenges.
You are both a manager and a mentor, providing financial leadership and analytical support to partners of the core Finance team as well as giving your own team the support they need to become financial experts. You'll keep management informed on key financial metrics and work to improve financial operation practices throughout your region.

The goal of FP&A (Financial Planning and Analysis) is to create financial insights that make Google better by unpacking complex business problems to drive business growth, reveal opportunities, manage risk, and steward scarce resources. Our impact is fueled by a bias to action, grounding in hard data, comfort with ambiguity, courage in advocacy, and willingness to put the team before the individual. Our team applies this mission to Google One and Photos in coordination with the cross-finance, cross-functional and cross-product area teams.

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.
