Welcome to Carbon Roleystone

With a wealth of knowledge and experience within the team at Carbon Roleystone and the southern hills of Perth, your business’ accounting and bookkeeping is in safe hands. Our qualified tax accountants offer tailored solutions for all accounting and tax services, including tax planning, tax returns and advisory services.
In addition to exception accounting service, Carbon Roleystone offer the full suite of business services. This includes bookkeeping, business systems, business insurance, finance and lending, financial planning, and we can even help you apply for the R&D tax incentive.
Our proud history
Carbon Roleystone was launched in 2018 after local accounting firm, Stokes and Associates, partnered with Carbon. This marked our third office in Western Australia.
Stokes and Associates was a family-owned and run business that was established in 1986. Over the years, Accounting & Tax Partner Thomas Stokes and his team worked hard to build strong relationships with their clients, taking the time to get to know them so they can offer specialised services on a one-on-one basis.
Proudly supporting our Roleystone Community
Carbon firmly believes in supporting our local community around Roleystone and the southern hills of Perth, and we do more than put our money where our mouth is: We often put our bodies on the line as well!
We love to get behind great causes like Hootstoke, the Make a Wish Foundation and Movember. Each month, our Osborne Park office hosts a charity poker night and we’d love to see you there!
