About SCT Consulting

SCT Consulting is a Sydney-based transport planning consultancy focused on improving how people move through cities and communities. Formed in 2016, they work across the public and private sectors, delivering strategic advice and practical solutions for transport networks, movement planning and place-making.

Their team brings deep expertise in transport strategy, planning and delivery. Every project is backed by clear communication, precision and a commitment to quality, ensuring results that are on time, on budget and aligned with client objectives.

The Challenge

Like many growing professional services firms, SCT Consulting found themselves spending more time on internal admin than on project delivery. Without prior experience managing bookkeeping or other financial functions, they were struggling to stay compliant with payroll, bookkeeping and ATO lodgment requirements.

The business was growing but behind the scenes, inefficient use of time was starting to creep in.

Without dedicated bookkeeping support, the SCT Consulting team faced:

  • Uncertainty around what documentation to prepare.
  • Delays in payroll processing and reporting.
  • Time-consuming ATO submissions.
  • Administrative tasks which interruptions that diverted focus from clients.

For a Sydney consultancy delivering high-value, high-detail projects, this lack of clarity and efficiency had the potential to slow business momentum and impact client outcomes.

How Carbon Helped

To address these growing challenges, SCT Consulting partnered with Carbon’s Sydney bookkeeping team to streamline their financial systems and create a strong foundation for sustainable growth.

We took a hands-on personalised approach, tailoring our support to SCT Consulting’s internal workflows so nothing felt bolted on or disruptive. Instead, we became an extension of their team, delivering trusted, proactive support behind the scenes.

Our bookkeeping team:

  • Perform bank reconciliations to maintain clean, up-to-date records.
  • Process payroll and manage all ATO obligations, including Single Touch Payroll (STP) finalisations.
  • Review and prepare BAS and IAS to meet all compliance deadlines.
  • Provide monthly management reports for clarity and informed decision-making.
  • Liaise with SCT Consulting’s accountant on year-end adjustments and tax matters.

By outsourcing their bookkeeping to Carbon, SCT Consulting gained immediate relief from admin pressures, allowing their leadership team to stay focused on clients, strategy and growth.

 The greatest compliment we can pay Carbon is
that we don’t even realise they are there. That
might sound odd at first but to us it means
everything. The services they provide to our
team are handled efficiently and proactively
so there’s nothing that we need to take care of.
