We launched Carbon Ipswich, our fifth office in Queensland in 2023 after the successful partnership with local accounting firm, Harding Martin.

Harding Martin was established in 1990 and was led by Directors Neil Harding, David Martin, Maria Kelly and Vicki Yorston. The focus at Harding Martin has always been on providing the best service possible to their clients and finding proactive solutions for their business troubles.

Proudly supporting our Local Community

At Carbon Ipswich, we take great pride in our strong ties to the local community.

Our Ipswich accountants and bookkeepers show their support by getting behind local charitable organisations such as Ipswich Hospital Foundation, Ipswich Region Chamber of Commerce, Trustees for the Ipswich Girls’ Grammer School, Apprenticeships Queensland and Zonta Club of West Moreton Area Inc. If you have any opportunities where our team can lend a helping hand, please reach out to us.
