Our proud history
Carbon’s first Queensland office launched in 2019 when Darra based bookkeeping firm, Thrive Advisors, partnered with Carbon. Led by Bookkeeping & CFO Services Partner Gail Rogerson, our Darra office provided bookkeeping services for local businesses.
In 2020, Carbon partnered with Milton based accounting firm, Charter Partners, increasing our Brisbane presence further. Charter Partners had offices in Milton, Bundaberg and Gympie, and had been servicing their clients since 1932. This partnership saw Accounting & Tax Partner Anthony McPhee join our Brisbane team.
Anthony McPhee B.Bus (Accy); FCPA; is an SMSF Specialist Advisor™ with the SMSF Association, the peak industry association for professionals advising in Self-Managed Super Funds.
At the beginning of 2021, our Darra and Milton offices teamed up and moved into the Milton office. With the full Carbon Brisbane team all based in one central location, we’re poised to increase our reach even further. Later in the year, our team grew when we partnered with Hawley Accounting, bringing on board their talented team and fantastic client base.
Carbon Brisbane’s accounting team grew in May 2022 when Carbon partnered with Coomber & Co. Having been established in 1972, Coomber & Co has a rich history and a track record of providing fantastic service to their clients.
