Novabook
Novabook - the accountant for startups.
For too long, accounting has been slow, expensive, and not startup-friendly. Founders were stuck between expensive firms and DIY tools.
Novabook changes that. They give founders access to dedicated UK chartered accountants, on call whenever you want, and a software platform to automate the admin founders hate. From bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes to R&D claims and EMI valuations, Novabook saves founders time and money with the most responsive accounting solution built for scaling startups.
