Look No Further Googs - I’ll Be Your CFO

Help Wanted: A Vacancy In Google’s Top Ranks

Hey! I fit the qualifications!

There is one job the search giant seems to be having a hard time filling: chief financial officer.

Since August, the Mountain View, Calif., company has been looking for a replacement for retiring CFO George Reyes.

Although the prestige of working at Google (nasdaq: GOOG - news - people ) is phenomenal, top-ranked chief financial officers do not appear to be lining up for a chance at the CFO spot. Why? Industry experts offer a few clues.

Industry experts suggest that within the Googleplex, the job of chief financial officer simply hasn’t carried the weight and influence that it does at many other large companies.

Now… this is simply not a problem for me!

“What’s more, the disciplined personality of most financial officers likely wouldn’t fit with Google’s corporate culture, which encourages experimentation and risk-taking and shrugs at long-term planning.”

Disciplined??? Me??? Naaaah. I fit! Experimentation? Risk-taking? Yeah! Call Me Larry!
