Devon Coombs

Fractional CFO / CAO Advisor | ex-Google & Deloitte | Strategic Finance Partner – AI, Transactions, & Transformation | Educator @ SJSU

I help high-growth companies, and the CFOs and CAOs who lead them, navigate scale, complexity, and transactions with strategic finance support rooted in technical depth and operator insight.

I specialize in technical accounting leadership, revenue recognition (ASC 606), IPO readiness, and strategic finance advisory. My work helps companies navigate complex revenue structures, build investor-ready financial operations, and sustain operational resilience through scale and transition.

My expertise is built on leading finance and accounting at scale. As Controller for Google Cloud Marketplace and Chief of Staff for the Google Cloud Controllership, I directed multi-billion-dollar revenue initiatives, managed technical accounting policy for AI and cloud partnerships, and advised executive leadership through major restructurings and international growth. Earlier in my career, I guided technology companies through IPO readiness, ASC 606 adoption, and revenue accounting challenges while at Deloitte and Effectus Group (now Riveon).

In addition to strategic finance advisory, I am committed to leadership development and long-term stewardship. I have designed and delivered training programs for over 10,000 finance and operational stakeholders, served as an adjunct professor of finance and accounting, and host the leadership podcast Ambition Aligned, where I explore the intersection of high performance, stewardship, and sustainable leadership.
