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?
Founded by the team that led Seneca Learning to 12M users and a successful acquisition, Novabook is growing rapidly with a 50-person team and a product spanning payments, open banking, payroll, workflow & automated bookkeeping.
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.
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Software that accounting firms currently run on is extremely outdated & disjointed.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 Startup Operations Graduates across several teams as we scale as an AI-native company on an ambitious unicorn journey. We have graduate roles open that incorporate three core functions:
Operations: Supporting how the business runs and scales day to day
Accounting: Helping build strong financial foundations from an early stage
Growth: Working on client acquisition & revenue growth
You’ll start off building a core understanding of our operations, working on real problems and contributing directly to Novabook. As you learn and progress, you’ll gain broad exposure to how a modern startup operates and how different teams work together in an AI-first environment.
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
Recent graduate or expecting to graduate soon.
No prior work experience required.
Strong academic background. STEM encouraged but not required.
Application process (less than two weeks)
The hiring process consists of four steps:
An introductory Google Form
A time-bound task
15-minute technical call with Cofounder
Final round with Cofounder and team
