Senior Analyst, Legal Entity, International Controllership

The international controllership seeks to ensure that any Alphabet company can do any business in any country. In order to realize this vision and operate in a responsible and controlled manner it is imperative to take a risk based approach and to align resources with jurisdictional and regional requirements. This organization therefore forms an integral part of Alphabet’s global controllership, working closely with our global operations team, professional service providers, in-country business leaders, and the broader finance, tax and legal 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.
