In the Norwegian public sector she served, among other roles, as Head of the Department for Refugees and Foreign Nationals. She has also worked as a business advisor, an expert for business organisations and as a lecturer at SWPS University in Warsaw.

At Novum she is responsible, among other things, for coordinating cooperation between the Norwegian and Polish offices, developing client relations and marketing activities. She actively participates in projects with the company’s partners, runs courses and webinars, and is active in social media.

Gert studied Cultural Studies at Telemark University College and Social Pedagogy at Eik Teacher Training College.

He began his professional career in public administration, working as an advisor and project manager in the field of culture at both municipal and regional levels. One of his key projects was the development of Nøstedhallen, which opened in 2002. The project was designed as a meeting place for young people, combining artistic expression, sports activities and social engagement. The hall includes ramps for skateboarding, BMX and inline skating. Gert coordinated cooperation between different communities and worked actively with youth integration and preventive social initiatives. Today Nøstedhallen remains one of the largest and most recognised indoor skate parks in Norway, offering more than 1,800 m² of ramps and attracting over 8,000 visitors annually.

He has also been involved in youth initiatives through youth clubs and youth councils aimed at strengthening democratic participation and civic engagement.

He is also interested in architecture, design and art exhibitions, and enjoys European graphic novels, particularly French and Belgian comics. Above all, he values the time spent with his adult children.

Marta is a State Authorized Accountant in Norway. She holds a Master’s degree in Accounting and Finance from Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland.

After graduation she started her career in an international corporation in Warsaw, but quickly realised that she values direct relationships with clients and colleagues more than working within a large corporate structure. She later gained experience as an accountant in an international steel trading company and in a manufacturing company in the construction materials sector.

Marta joined Novum at the early stage of establishing the Bydgoszcz office and played a key role in organising its accounting structure and internal standards. Although she initially dreamed of working as a “regular” accountant, it soon became clear that she also has a natural talent for communication with both clients and team members. Despite her managerial responsibilities, she still enjoys solving complex accounting puzzles and analysing payroll calculations. Within Novum she is considered one of the key specialists in labour law and payroll matters.

She works with both large companies and smaller businesses, always focusing on individual client needs. With many years of experience in both Polish and Norwegian accounting systems, she feels comfortable working in both environments, although she often says that Norwegian accounting has become the closest to her professional interests.

Outside work Marta enjoys spending time with her three children and a dog called Nico, who is a regular companion on long walks. In her free time she particularly enjoys family trips to the Mazury region in Poland.
Marta speaks Polish and English and Norwegian.

Sylwia is a State Authorized Accountant in Norway. She holds a Master’s degree in Finance and Accounting from the Poznań University of Economics. Her Master’s thesis focused on a comparative analysis of salary levels in Poland and Norway – likely one of the few academic studies in Poland devoted to this topic.

She began her work at Novum by presenting the company at an international seminar for construction companies. In her professional work she particularly enjoys advising Norwegian limited companies (AS) on cost accounting and payroll matters. She also works with branches of foreign companies operating in Norway (NUF).

At Novum Sylwia is responsible for quality control of accounting processes and provides IT-related support to both clients and colleagues in the area of digital accounting systems. She is known for her patience and willingness to help – always finding time to support the team in solving complex system challenges. She often refers to a quote by Nelson Mandela:
 “It always seems impossible until it is done.”

In her free time Sylwia enjoys creative activities such as baking cakes (much appreciated by the Novum team), crocheting and knitting. She also trains figure skating and enjoys paddling as well as walking her Cavalier - Ruby.
Sylwia speaks Norwegian, English and Polish.

Justyna graduated from the Faculty of Finance and Accounting at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. She has been working as an accountant for 15 years. She started her career already during her studies. Justyna has worked with Norwegian accounting in Novum since 2015. Previously, she also worked in a Finnish accounting office.

 

Her clients are both branches of foreign companies (NUF) and Norwegian limited liability companies (AS). Justyna always finds a way to deal with the most demanding cost documents, such as crumbled receipts. Of course, she admits not to be fond of those. Therefore, she enjoys digital accounting solutions, thanks to which customers send photos of receipts directly to the system. She has always been interested in topics related to human resources and payroll. Complicated wages which involve advances, contributions, benefits in kind and all sorts of deductions, are not a challenge for her.

 

Currently, the greatest challenge for her is to somehow find time for her passion which is dancing. That might be difficult as she is a very busy mom of two small boys: Wojtek and Mikołaj. At Novum, we are sure that she will handle it perfectly, because her consistency and persistence in taking care of clients' interests are exceptional. 

Justyna speaks Polish, English and she is working on her Norwegian.
