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, £2.5M ARR and are growing quickly, this is an opportunity to join the ride at an early stage. We have raised £11.5M in funding to build and scale Novabook.
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
As a Graduate Accountant at Novabook, you’ll be working at the intersection of accounting, technology, and high-growth startups. This is not a traditional practice role - you’ll be part of a team rethinking how accounting should work in a modern, AI-driven environment.
We will train you in the core functions of a businesses’ accounting, from start to finish covering Book-keeping, Payroll, Tax, Tax Incentives, Business Process, and Advisory.
This role is designed to accelerate your learning. You’ll take on real responsibility from day 1, working directly with clients and internal teams, while being supported by experienced chartered accountants. As we grow, there will be opportunities to specialise, take ownership of client relationships, and progress quickly within the company. We will also support you with accounting qualifications if desired (likely CIMA).
What we’re looking for in you

* No prior work experience required.
