HR & Recruitment Manager – Accounting & Law

New Wave Accounting & Business Advisory – Mermaid Waters QLD

New Wave is a growing skilled services group with two sides: accounting and legal (NW Law). We look after individuals, businesses, SMSFs and trusts. We are known for doing things properly and for building our own tools instead of putting up with clunky systems, and our team is growing.
