Our Origin
In 2013, two people met at a networking breakfast. Jamie Davison was a recent arrival to Perth with a bookkeeping and CFO services consultancy focused on Xero and cloud technology. Nathan Hood was working in a traditional accounting firm, and ready to shake up accounting, in his own way.
Jamie and Nathan got on well and quickly discovered shared passions for business, helping business owners and building something different.
That was the start of the idea, and the partnership, that Carbon was created from.

Our Launch
Carbon launched in 2014 with the goal to re-imagine the delivery of accounting, bookkeeping and financial services, based on great people, entrepreneurial spirit, accessibility and a determination to shake up the sector.
Quickly, Jamie and Nathan established Carbon as a confident and progressive accounting firm, by hiring smart and passionate people.
The first Carbon people focused on giving business people awesome service delivery and outcomes that made a difference in their businesses, and lives.
Our Growth
Since 2014, Carbon has grown in every way and the company has maintained its focus on great people, who share a true passion for helping people who own and run businesses.
After all, that’s what Carbon is, and where it came from – a small start-up with a vision and tons of energy.
Carbon has now opened offices across Australia, by welcoming like-minded firms into the Carbon family to deliver their services at a grassroots level, from major cities to a suburb near you.
Award-winning firm and Carbonites
Carbon Group has been the recipient of industry awards over the years, including multiple wins of the Australian Accounting Awards Firm of the Year and being named in the Australian Financial Review’s Top 100 Accounting Firms for consecutive years.
