Groupon’s mission is to become the daily habit in local commerce and fulfil our purpose of building strong communities through thriving small businesses by connecting people to a vibrant, global marketplace for local services, travel experiences and goods. In the process, we’re positively impacting the lives of millions of customers and merchants globally. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. If you want to take more ownership of your career, then you're ready to be part of Groupon.

  • Effectively prioritize the activities of the team in order to meet internal deadlines.

  • Ensure SOX compliance and standardization of key accounting processes.

  • Performing other accounting duties and supporting junior staff as required or assigned

We’re excited about you if you have:

  • Bachelor or equivalent degree in Finance/Accounting. 

  • Minimum 1 year of experience in the same position in a corporate environment.
