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. Working on multiple projects at a time, you are focused on the details while finding creative ways to take on big picture challenges.

As someone who knows the workings of the core Finance team inside and out, you'll lead individual projects to transform planning, tracking and control processes. You'll provide senior level management with insightful recommendations, planning and reporting support.

As a Financial Analyst on the Central Marketing Finance team, you will be part of the central pillar of our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) function.

You will partner with different Marketing teams in monitoring and reporting Marketing investments and payroll, driving accuracy and providing insights to support to enable executive level decision-making.

You will master process management, data aggregation, and communication. Beyond just maintaining financial controls, you will bring a spirit of innovation to the team, developing new tools and refining processes to ensure our operations are as strategic and agile as the business we support.
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.
