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 $60M and we plan to 100x this at Novabook.

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

We're launching a transfer pricing offering and are looking for someone to own it end to end.

You’ll be setting up and pricing intercompany arrangements, writing the agreements that sit behind them, and making sure what our delivery teams actually book matches the policy. You'll be the person the client teams pull in when a founder is opening a US entity, flipping to a Delaware parent, moving IP, hiring their first employee somewhere they have no presence, or answering questions from an investor's diligence team.

The majority of our customer base are Delaware TopCos with a UK subsidiary.

You’ll be the go-to technical person on transfer pricing in the business, working directly with our CEO and accounting team. You’ll also work directly with our engineering and product teams to automate the parts of the process you and the team encounter.

Requirements

Professional qualification (CTA) is advantageous, ideally with 2-3 years’ post-qualification experience but not essential. Strong technical capability and confidence operating in a high-growth environment is key.

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
• 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 are our interviews with the UK’s best startup founders.
