About Novabook
Novabook is the future of accounting. We have a software engineering team automating day to day accounting processes, whilst we have an amazing team of the best accountants managing client relationships & delivery to create the best outcomes for clients. Our team previously founded, scaled and sold a technology company for $50M and we plan to 100x this at Novabook.
Why join us?
We are a small, rapidly growing team of 50 people at the moment (18 people in the engineering & product team). Our first venture together was senecalearning.com, which scaled to 12M users and a successful acquisition in 2022.
After launching in May 2024, we already have 700+ clients, £2M ARR and are growing quickly, this is an opportunity to join the ride at an early stage. In December 2025 we raised a £7.5M seed funding round to continue our growth.
Novabook was born out of our personal experiences with the shortcomings of traditional accountancy practices while running Seneca. After dealing with inefficient software and unreliable accountancies for 8 years, we believe it's time to tackle these challenges head-on.
In addition to having built an 8-figure startup before, our founders have been named on the Forbes 30 under 30 list and Maserati 100. Our team also has experience working at Morgan Stanley, HSBC, Financial Times, and Forward Partners.
Culture
We are well-funded but the hardest period of a start-up is always the first couple of years, when the team is small, and you are heavily relied on personally. But this also exposes you to the most interesting period of a company’s lifecycle and also the period where you can learn the most & earn the most material rewards. You won’t be expected to work evenings & weekends, but you will be expected to work hard when on the job.
About the role
The core responsibilities of the role will be managing client relationships, working with 100-150 fast-growing start-ups across the UK and US to ensure that we are delivering the best possible service at the same time.
You will need to build an understanding of the startup fundraising journey, modelling & budgeting, accounting & tax (employment, R&D, S/EIS, VAT, corporate) and valuations (for employee share schemes and funding rounds), but we don't expect you to have this day 1.
You will have continued client interaction and will be managed by the CEO. At the same time, you will work with 18 software engineers using AI to automate the day to day workflows that you & your team encounter. You will then be in charge of rolling these out to your teams & clients.
Requirements
Professional qualification (ACA / ACCA / ICAS or equivalent, e.g. CTA) is advantageous but not essential, ideally with 2-3 years’ post-qualification experience.
Strong technical capability and confidence operating in a high-growth environment is key.
About the application process
The hiring process consists of three steps:
- 15 minute screening call with Talent Lead
- Take Home task
- Final Round Interview (Discussion of take home task, meet the team & cultural interview)
