Accounting and advisory careers · Gold Coast and Philippines

Do work that
founders notice.

New Wave is where accountants go when they want $1M to $65M clients, a team instead of a cubicle, and a firm that builds its own tools rather than waiting for the software to catch up. Hybrid, flexi time, and four hundred metres from the beach.

Why people move here

The firm accountants leave the big firms for.

Big firm clients and big firm standards, without the timesheet culture. Here is what that looks like day to day.

01 · Clients

Businesses worth the work

Our average client group turns over $2.5M, the largest $65M. Ecommerce, construction, medical, property. You advise owners, not shoeboxes.

02 · Rhythm

Hybrid, with flexi time

A mix of office days and home days, and hours you can shape around your life. We measure outcomes for clients, not time at a desk.

03 · Tools

An AI-first firm

We build our own software for bookkeeping, reporting and advice, so the repetitive work gets automated and the thinking gets done by you.

04 · Team

A team, not a cubicle

Every client has a designated team of partner, manager, accountant and bookkeeper. You learn from the people beside you, every file.

05 · Path

Room to grow

Accountant to manager to partner, inside one firm. Four divisions across the group means the next step does not have to mean the next employer.

06 · Place

Gold Coast life

Mermaid Beach office, a short walk from the sand. Clients across Australia, a team that actually sees each other, and a podcast studio down the hall.

LIFE
