About Novabook
Novabook is the “Accountant for Startups” founded by Stephen Wilks & Lukas Feddern. Our team previously founded, scaled and sold a technology company for $50M. We started Novabook to solve the problems we faced during this process. Our aim is to make the financial processes of starting, running and selling a business in the UK easier.
Why join us?
We are a small, rapidly growing team of 50 people at the moment (18 people in the engineering & product team, 6 people in the sales & marketing 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 1000+ clients, millions in ARR and are growing quickly, this is an opportunity to join the ride at an early stage. We’ve raised over £10M in capital to 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.
What technological problems are we solving?
Software that accounting firms currently run on is extremely outdated & disjointed. This results in a lot of manual work which is costly and error prone. We are building a suite of integrated products to automate 90% of the workflow within accounting firms. We are rapidly scaling our engineering team to facilitate this build out across workflow, payments, open banking, payroll & automated bookkeeping domains.
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
We’re hiring Commercial Associates to join Novabook as we scale as an AI-native company on an ambitious unicorn journey. This is an opportunity to build a strong foundation in modern B2B sales while contributing directly to a fast-growing startup from day one.
From prospecting and relationship-building to pipeline management and customer conversations, you’ll gain hands-on experience across the full sales cycle while learning how technology and AI are transforming the way high-growth companies sell.
You’ll work closely with founders who have previously built and scaled a technology company, learning directly from experienced operators and getting hands-on experience early in your career. This is a fast-paced, high-ownership environment designed for graduates who want responsibility, steep learning, and the chance to grow alongside the company.
What we’re looking for in you
Graduated between 2024 and today.
No prior work experience required.
Strong academic background. STEM encouraged but not required.
About the application process (less than 2 weeks)
The hiring process consists of four steps:
An introductory form
A time-bound task
Interview with COO
Interview with CEO
In a final round process, we value candidates more highly if they know a little bit about our business already. In case it’s useful as a light-touch way of getting up to speed:
- Here is our company’s newsletter in Reels form.
- And here are our interviews with the UK’s best startup founders.
