Groupon is looking for an organized, detail-oriented accountant to join us in our Chicago River North offices. Your job will be to keep our books in order, design new processes as our business develops, and maybe do a bit of business analysis. If you are a whiz with Quickbooks and Excel and have at least one year of working experience as an accountant, send your resume and a cover letter to jobs@thepoint.com. Also, check out our jobs page to get an idea of what it’s like working here (hint: it’s pretty awesome).

Welcome to the New Groupon Blog!
People are always trying to come up with great domain names. I was too, and then I thought I’d try something different: why not have an awful name? Shortly after making that insight, I came up with the perfect name: groublogpon.com. It combines the words “Groupon” and “Blog” in a perfectly awkward and immemorable way.
We’ll be posting new content every week—different stuff for each of our Groupon cities.
Please excuse the current spartan presentation; we’ll dress it up shortly.
Crain’s “Entrepreneurs in Action” on Groupon
If you’re interested in Groupon’s origins and how it evolved out of The Point, Crain’s Business explains it all (and more) in this video on Groupon from their excellent Entrepreneurs in Action series. Past segments have featured our friends at EveryBlock and CrowdSPRING. Our thanks to Brandon Copple of Crain’s for the excellent work!
