Hi there! We've updated our Jobs site and added some new features to improve your experience. Show me.

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. Whether designing processes to support our global businesses, providing forward-thinking analysis or managing our day-to-day balance sheets, our seasoned accounting and finance pros create innovative solutions to a googol of challenges and keep our business on track.

When a feature on one of products -- from Google+ to Search to YouTube -- gets tweaked, you’ll work with finance and engineering teams to measure the impact of that change. Using your technical skills and business acumen, you’ll build tools to automate reporting and dashboard updates so clients can see quickly and accurately how projects are performing. You’ll be involved from project inception to report design through to data delivery, ensuring that your reports are delivering high-quality and relevant data so that our business can grow intelligently.

Your application should indicate that you are a top academic performer with a wide variety of extracurricular interests and the desire to excel in everything you do. You should be a creative self starter with a combination of both strong business understanding and the technical ability to help develop solutions that meet rapidly evolving business needs.
