Accounting Associate

Groupon is a marketplace where customers discover new experiences and services everyday and local businesses thrive. To date we have worked with over a million merchant partners worldwide, connecting over 16 million customers with deals across various categories. In a world often dominated by e-commerce giants, we stand out as one of the few platforms uniquely committed to helping local businesses succeed on a performance basis.

Groupon is on a radical journey to transform our business with relentless pursuit of results. Even with thousands of employees spread across multiple continents, we still maintain a culture that inspires innovation, rewards risk-taking and celebrates success. The impact here can be immediate due to our scale and the speed of our transformation. We're a "best of both worlds" kind of company. We're big enough to have the resources and scale, but small enough that a single person has a surprising amount of autonomy and can make a meaningful impact.

💼 The Role
The Accounting Associate position is a junior-level role within Groupon’s International Accounting team, based in Warsaw, Poland, and reporting directly to the Accounting Manager. The Warsaw Shared Services Center supports accounting operations for multiple entities across EMEA.

The primary responsibility of this role is the preparation and timely submission of statistical surveys on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, which constitutes around 50% of the workload. Additionally, the Accounting Associate will assist in preparing local statutory trial balances, supporting audit documentation, and ensuring compliance with IFRS and local GAAP. The role offers strong exposure to international accounting operations and opportunities to collaborate with Legal, Tax, VAT and Technical Accounting teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone detail-oriented and eager to expand their accounting expertise in a multinational environment. A structured transition and training period will support the new hire in learning all processes, with close collaboration from the manager and teammates.
