Who we were?
WTS Australia was formerly called Nuwaru. The name Nuwaru was inspired by the combination of words New (Nu) and the Pintupi-Luritja word for fire (Waru). In the Aboriginal Kalkadoon country the word waru is also used to describe the milky way galaxy. The former name is still close to our heart and represents an important milestone in the evolution of our business to become the new fire in the industry. Whilst we have changed our name, we are still driven by the same passion, still serviced by the same and ever-growing team of experts, still differentiated by our focus on business partnering leveraging our unique mix of commercial and technical partners, and still of the view that technology, innovation and AI will embed itself in everything we do for ourselves and our clients.
Nuwaru is now the silent “N” in WTS Australia.

Our vision
To rethink and improve how top tier tax services are purchased, provided and delivered for the benefit of the profession and our clients.
We are taking on the Big 4 in the top tier tax space, to demonstrate to the market that through our approach we can provide affordable, accessible and experienced teams whilst maintaining a laser focus on quality packaged in our own unique style and personality.
Nuwaru is led by those pioneering the professional services gig economy. Our operating model is inspired by the changes in the gig economy, flexible and remote working (which we had started pre-covid!) and with a nod to the new law firms but with a new fire twist to make it fit for purpose for tax folk in the Australian and NZ market.
