Employment Type: Full-time Location: Victoria, London (5 days onsite) Package: £45,000 - £65,000 Visa Sponsorship: Available 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 engineering & product team, 6 people in the sales & marketing). 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, £3M 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 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 work with the team to cover areas across management accounts, handling bespoke accounting processes and supporting with month end closes covering key processes such as prepayments, accruals, journals and etc. About the application process The hiring process consists of four steps: 20 minute screening call with Talent Lead Take Home task 20 minute virtual technical round (Discussion of take home task) Final round interview (Meet the team & cultural interview) In a final round process, we value candidates more highly if they know a little bit about our business already.

Right now there are 11,726 open accountant positions on WorkMundi. The US leads with 3,242 jobs, followed by India (2,285), Australia (1,359), Philippines (629), and Singapore (441). If you've been thinking your options are limited to one country, look again.
One practical move: search by country first, not just by job title. The accountant role differs in scope, compliance, and day-to-day work depending on where you'd be based. A position in Australia may involve different tax codes, audit standards, and reporting cycles than one in India or the US. Narrowing by location before you read descriptions saves time and helps you spot roles that actually fit your expertise.
When you interview for an accountant role, expect this question: "Walk me through how you'd handle a transaction that doesn't reconcile." Hiring managers ask it because they want to see your troubleshooting method, not just whether you found the error. Practice explaining your logic step-by-step — what you check first, how you document it, and how you escalate if needed. That matters more than the final answer.
