What we do

Business accounting, tax and advisory for Australian founders. Three ways in.

All 23 servicesBookkeeping to exit
01

Bookkeeping, tax & compliance

Clean books and every lodgement on time, so the numbers you make decisions on are real and the ATO never surprises you.

  • Xero bookkeeping on the cadence your business needs
  • BAS, super and tax returns lodged on time
  • Year-end financials with no re-work
Explore
02

Business accounting & advisory

Tax planned before 30 June, not explained after it. Structures and compliance that protect what you have built.

  • Annual tax plan, every client
  • Entity structuring and asset protection
  • Company, trust and group returns and financials
Explore
03

Growth

A partner in the numbers: cash, margin, forecasts and the decisions that move them.

  • Management reports with commentary, monthly or quarterly
  • CFO advisory: forecasting, pricing and capital decisions
  • Exit, acquisition and succession planning

Most clients start in one place and end up with all three. One team holds the whole picture, so the bookkeeper, the tax strategist and the CFO are never three firms pointing at each other.

The traditional accountant

You hear from them once a year. If you are lucky, they call.

They prepare the return, charge for every minute, and advice is not part of the service.

The traditional accountant

Ask for help, and it gets scary.

Every question is a bill. So you stop asking, and the decisions get made without them.

The traditional accountant

Meanwhile, the ATO keeps the change.

Everyone should pay tax. Nobody should pay more than they have to.

Then there is us

Our founders are business owners, just like you.

Multiple million-dollar businesses. Payroll on a Thursday. Tax bills that hurt. We understand founders because we are founders.

Then there is us

We start with your goals, not your return.

Your ambitions set the agenda. Strategic advice, applied all year, is how they happen.

Then there is us

Tax matters. It is a fraction of the picture.

Profit, asset protection, coaching, growth and scale. One team working the whole ecosystem, not one line of it.

New Wave

Million-dollar businesses. Million-dollar outcomes.

We partner with a select group of founders doing $1M and up, and we hold ourselves to the outcome.

How we operate

Most founders think they have a tax problem. Usually it is something else.

A structure problem. A margin problem. A cash problem. Or a decision nobody is making. We work through all four before we touch your return, because the return is the last thing that should change.

Client storyWhat it is like to partner with New WaveHear it from a client, not from us.

“They went above and beyond, communicated clearly every step of the way, and achieved a fantastic result that I honestly didn’t think was possible. It’s such a relief finally having accountants I can trust and rely on.”

“After 10 years in business, it felt like we had finally found a unicorn: an accounting firm that truly understands small eCommerce businesses and the kind of support they need. We only wish we had found them earlier.”

Before you ask

The questions founders ask on the first call.

Straight answers, so the call itself can be about your business.

Book a discovery call
Do you only work with Gold Coast businesses?

No. We are based in Mermaid Beach and about half of our clients are elsewhere in Australia. Everything runs on Xero, video and a shared portal, so distance has never been the issue. Being in the same room once a year is nice, not necessary.

What does it cost?

Pricing is hybrid and agreed up front: a fixed annual fee for the work we can scope (compliance, bookkeeping, tax planning, reporting) and project pricing for things like restructures or a sale. You see every inclusion and every number before you sign, and the fee only changes if your business does.

We already have an accountant. How does switching work?

We handle it. Once you say yes we write to your current accountant, collect your files and ATO access, and move bookkeeping, tax and advisory across in two to three weeks. You do not chase anyone and nothing gets lodged late in the handover.

Who will actually work on my file?

A designated team: a partner who owns the relationship, a client manager you can call, and the accountants and bookkeepers doing the work. The same people every year, so nobody is relearning your business each July.

Is the second opinion review really free?

Yes, unless we find tax you have overpaid or risk you are carrying, in which case we show you what we found and quote the fix. If we find nothing, you have lost an hour and gained a clean bill of health.

Do you do personal tax returns?

For the founders we work with and their families, yes. We do not take on individual returns on their own; that is not what the firm is built for, and we will point you to someone good who does.
