Feels built for founders. Clear communication and smart software. Uploading receipts and invoices is SO simple, and VAT is easier to manage. Plus they really understand startups. I had to find new accountants and I was introduced by another founder from the same investors and Novabook's been stellar from end-to-end. Thank you.

We at Trent AI (trent.ai) have had amazing support from Novabook as first a pre-seed and then seed-funded global startup (registered in UK). I've particularly enjoyed the tools they use to minimize the time our team spends thinking about accounting. They just get stuff done with minimal friction.

Novabook have been brilliant for our business. They took the time to understand where we were, what needed sorting, and got us into a really solid position. What stands out most is how approachable and responsive the team are, especially our accountant Philippe! As a founder, you don't want to be chasing your accountant and with Novabook, I've never had to. They're proactive, clear in their communication, and genuinely understand the realities of running a startup. If you're a founder looking for an accountant who actually gets it, I'd highly recommend Novabook.

We’ve had a great experience working with the Novabooks team. They made what could have been a complex and unfamiliar process feel smooth and manageable, guiding us clearly at every step and taking the time to explain things we weren’t familiar with. A special thanks to Philippe, who was incredibly responsive and answered all our questions almost instantly. His support made a real difference. Very grateful for their professionalism and support, highly recommended.

They are by far the best accountants I have worked with. I could not recommend them more highly for start-ups. Their response times are incredibly fast and the support is always fantastic whenever anything accounting related comes up, no matter how small or simple (or stupid) the question may seem, (shoutout to Gus). If you are a start-up looking for accountants, they are simply the best.
