Question

Your company has one Cloud Billing account that pays for all Google Cloud usage. The finance team wants each of the three business units to see and manage its own subset of projects and spending, while the overall payment and invoicing must remain centralized under the single master billing account. What should you do to give each business unit a view into and control over only its own projects' costs, without creating separate paid invoices?

Accepted Answer

Group each business unit's projects into folders, then grant each unit the Billing Account Viewer role on the master billing account so they can filter reports by folder.

Answer

Create a separate self-serve Cloud Billing account for each business unit and link that unit's projects to it.

Answer

Grant each business unit the Billing Account Administrator role on the single master billing account and rely on project-level filtering.

Answer

Use budgets and alerts scoped to each business unit's projects and share Cloud Monitoring dashboards with the respective teams.
