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, 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.
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
You will lead and develop Novabook’s Company Secretarial function, helping us deliver seamless governance support to modern businesses.
You will be our go to person for all company secretarial matters. You will ensure statutory registers and Companies House filings are maintained accurately and on time, handling share allotments and transfers, PSC updates, director appointments and resignations, and the filing of confirmation statements and dormant accounts.
Alongside delivering high-quality governance support, you will advise founders and directors on company law, compliance requirements, and best practice governance, helping them understand their duties and responsibilities.
You will contribute to improving internal processes to ensure our company secretarial function operates efficiently as we scale.
Requirements
- Solid understanding of UK company law and the Companies Act 2006
- Experience managing company secretarial processes within a fast-paced environment
- Confident handling Companies House filings and maintaining statutory records independently
- Experience with company secretarial or entity management software (e.g. CCH, Diligent, or similar) is advantageous
- CGI/ICSA qualification preferred but not essential
About the application process
The hiring process consists of four steps:
- 20 minute screening call with Talent Lead
- Time-bound task
- 20 minute virtual technical round
- 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. 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.
