Carbon Group

Announcing two new partnerships and a new office in South Australia!

Carbon’s latest partnerships with two South Australian firms, O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors and Hatcher & Vanson sees Carbon’s presence in the state grow significantly.

Led by Fiona Crook and Sharyn Duck, O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors operates in Parafield Airport, north of Adelaide. As we roll out this new partnership, we will re-brand their office to launch our new Carbon Parafield office!

O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors’ commitment to providing a quality service on all the taxation and accounting services that business owners need was what formed the initial bond between the firm and Carbon Group.

“We pride ourselves on the high-quality service that we provide our clients, and the fact we share this passion with Carbon Group was a key driver in this partnership. The alignment of our values shows a strong future and will create many opportunities for our clients and our team.” Fiona Crook, O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors Director.

“We are always looking for ways to go above and beyond for our clients, and with Carbon Group’s established range of services this will enable us to quickly and easily connect clients with the experts they need to elevate their business. We are looking forward to working closely with the Carbon Group of specialists and the future benefit that this will bring to our clients.” Sharyn Duck, O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors Director.

Fiona, Sharyn and the full O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors team will be joining Carbon and will work closely with existing Carbon Accounting & Tax Partner, David Block.

In addition to the partnership with O’Brien & Co Accountants and Advisors, we’re also announcing the acquisition of Hatcher & Vanson.

Led by Mark Vanson, the Hatcher & Vanson team will relocate to Carbon’s new Parafield office, and our Accounting &  Tax Partner David Block will oversee the transition.

“Both of these partnerships are fantastic for Carbon in South Australia and I’m very excited at the opportunities that these partnerships will open up for our clients. Having joined Carbon Group in August 2021, it’s very exciting to be at the forefront of these two new partnerships. I’m looking forward to working with all involved and welcoming our new Carbonites to the team.” David Block, Carbon Accounting & Tax Partner.

We’re beyond thrilled to welcome all our new Carbonites, and cannot wait for you to see our new office in Parafield.
