About NOVA

NOVA is a Fintech start-up that is disrupting the financial advice market.

We're on a mission to transform the way wealth management and financial advice are provided to clients across the UK. We are using technology to improve how we all interact with our finances and, behind the scenes, dramatically lower our costs.
