Question

Your company acquired a small startup that has one Google Cloud project running production workloads under its own separate billing account. Finance wants the acquired project's charges to appear on your organization's existing billing account starting next month, with no downtime for the running resources. What should you do?

Accepted Answer

In the acquired project's billing settings, change the billing account to your organization's billing account, ensuring you have the Billing Account Administrator role on the target account and Project Billing Manager on the project.

Answer

Delete the acquired project and recreate it under your organization's billing account, then redeploy all resources.

Answer

Close the startup's billing account, which will automatically reassign its linked projects to your organization's billing account.

Answer

Export the startup's billing data to a BigQuery dataset in your organization so the charges consolidate onto your billing account.
