◆ About Nova Virtual
Most accountants are trained to record the past. We're here to help you build the future.
Nova Virtual is a finance partner for founders who refuse to stay comfortable. We came to this work through the businesses we grew up in and the ones we've run — and we built the firm we always wished we'd had.

Holly Gardiner Novajovsky
Founder — "Holly Nova"
◆ Meet the founder
Holly built her career helping entrepreneurs create the future.
As the founder of Nova Virtual, Holly partners with ambitious founders who are building businesses with grit, vision, and the determination to leave something better than they found it. She believes finance should be a growth engine — not a back-office function — and that business owners deserve more than reports explaining what happened last month. They deserve a strategic partner who helps them understand what happens next.
Throughout her career, Holly has worked with organizations ranging from entrepreneurial startups to established multi-million-dollar companies, leading finance operations, improving systems, and building the infrastructure that allows businesses to scale with confidence. Her expertise spans accounting, financial operations, process design, global business, technology implementation, and executive advisory.
Today, Holly focuses on creating modern finance departments powered by automation, AI, and intelligent systems. By combining world-class financial expertise with today's technology, she helps business owners replace chaos with clarity, manual work with automation, and uncertainty with confident decision-making.
What excites Holly most isn't balancing books — it's helping founders realize bigger dreams. She is energized by entrepreneurs willing to challenge the status quo, solve meaningful problems, and build companies that make a lasting impact.
When she's not helping clients transform their finance operations, Holly is usually exploring emerging AI technologies, designing better business systems, or spending time with her family and the people who inspire her to keep dreaming bigger.
Her philosophy is simple: Great businesses deserve finance partners who are just as invested in building the future as they are.
"I don't work with founders because they own businesses. I work with founders because they see possibilities where everyone else sees obstacles. Those are my people."
◆ Where it started
We were speaking the language of P&Ls in our tweens.
Holly and her brother Jody grew up learning accounting from their mother, Daphne — a controller for a restaurant group. They were reading P&Ls before high school and doing bank recs over spring break. That upbringing is why finance, for us, has never been a back-office chore. It's the language we think in.
◆ The team
Everyone here has a superpower.
A small team, deliberately. Each person brings something specific to the businesses we serve.

Jody Gardiner
Fractional Controller & Director of Operations
Holly's brother, and like her, learned accounting from their mom before he could drive. Two decades in restaurant operations mean he knows the difference between a food-cost problem and a bookkeeping problem — because he's lived both.

Michael Novajovsky
Technical & Advisory Support
Holly's husband and the business namesake. He provides the technical and advisory backbone the team relies on — the “Nova” behind Nova Virtual.
