New Wave Accounting: 10 years of growth and the future of business advisory on the Gold Coast

As New Wave Accounting & Business Advisory approaches its 10-year anniversary, the firm has a powerful story to tell: one of entrepreneurial vision, sustained growth, and a commitment to helping Gold Coast businesses thrive.

Founded by Reuben Bergola as a sole practitioner in 2016, New Wave began with a clear mission, to provide small and medium-sized businesses with accounting services that went beyond the numbers. Fast forward to today, and that vision has grown into the New Wave Group, now employing over 80 staff, including more than 60 dedicated team members in the Accounting division.

This remarkable expansion has cemented New Wave’s reputation as a leading Gold Coast accountant and business advisory firm. But the journey doesn’t stop here. The next decade will focus on delivering high-end advisory services designed for ambitious entrepreneurs and established business owners across the Gold Coast.

From compliance, comprehensive business advisory, digital courses and more.

For many clients, a Gold Coast accountant is a trusted partner for tax compliance, bookkeeping, and financial reporting. While those services remain a cornerstone of New Wave’s expertise, the firm is now taking the next step - helping business owners unlock new levels of growth and wealth through strategic advice.

Over the next 12 months, New Wave will deepen its offering with services that include:

• Mergers and acquisitions advisory for business owners looking to buy, sell, or scale through strategic partnerships.
• Capital gains and tax strategy to protect wealth and optimise outcomes.
• Business restructuring and succession planning to safeguard long-term growth.
• Wealth creation and financial strategy that ensures business success translates into personal prosperity.
• A series of online digital courses for business owners to start, grow and scale with confidence. 

This expansion means Gold Coast businesses no longer need to juggle multiple providers. Instead, they can rely on one integrated team of experts.

A full-stack Gold Coast accounting firm

What sets New Wave apart is its full-stack advisory approach. Beyond traditional accounting and tax services, the team now includes specialists in commercial law, digital lead generation and automation, and wealth management. This ensures that whether a client is restructuring a company, raising capital, or preparing for an acquisition, New Wave has the expertise in-house to deliver a seamless solution.

For business owners, this translates into less time coordinating between providers and more time focusing on what matters most; growth, innovation and legacy.

Growing with the Gold Coast

The growth of New Wave Accounting mirrors the growth of the Gold Coast itself. Once known primarily as a lifestyle destination, the Gold Coast is now a thriving hub for entrepreneurs, start-ups, and established companies seeking scale.

By positioning itself as a leading Gold Coast accountant and advisory firm, New Wave is committed to supporting this entrepreneurial energy. The team’s mission is simple: to deliver world-class advisory services that fuel the success of Gold Coast businesses.

Building the next generation of advisors

New Wave’s success is not just about clients, it’s also about people. The firm has grown from one person to over 80 because of a strong focus on culture, professional development, and attracting the best talent.

As demand for high-end advisory services grows, so too does the need for talented professionals. That’s why New Wave is actively seeking new team members to join its journey. For accountants, advisors, and specialists looking to work with ambitious business owners, this is an opportunity to be part of one of the fastest-growing firms on the Gold Coast.

Looking ahead

As New Wave enters its second decade, the vision is bold: to become the go-to Gold Coast accountant and advisory firm for businesses ready to grow, scale, and build wealth. By combining deep technical expertise with a forward-thinking, full-stack approach, the firm is uniquely positioned to support the Gold Coast’s next wave of entrepreneurs.
