About

Over my career, I have developed extensive expertise in accounting and corporate management systems. Currently, I serve as a Senior Manager of Accounting at Groupon Shared Services Poland, where I manage the monthly close process for international processes, ensuring compliance with accounting standards and accuracy in reporting. I oversee SOX compliance, support audit processes, and foster strong relationships with various departments, including tax, treasury, and internal audit. I have successfully led projects that centralize regional accounting functions through automation and standardization. Previously, as an Accounting Manager at Groupon, I managed key centralized processes such as cash reconciliation and VAT reconciliation for the EMEA and APAC regions. I prioritized team activities to meet deadlines, trained and mentored my team, and managed automation projects that significantly improved efficiency. My earlier roles include General Ledger Team Leader, where I oversaw general accounting functions and led successful migration and standardization projects, and Senior General Accountant at Colgate-Palmolive, where I maintained transaction integrity and supported statutory audits. My educational background includes a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Management and Marketing from Warsaw University of Technology.
