Benjamin Johns ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Michael from Skyways Accountants has been awesome to work with. As a first-time business owner, he has provided me with all the information in a clear, concise & easy to understand manner. He is more than happy to answer any questions I have & is very quick in his response. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the need of an excellent accountant.

Alex W ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I would highly recommend Michael for any accounting needs. He was extremely helpful and very prompt in his response time. He helped me out with my personal tax return and also with more complex questions I had regarding the share match scheme my employer offers. I will definitely be returning for all of my tax needs in future.

Rebecca Franklin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Recently moved my business over to Michael at Skyways Accountants. He was very receptive to taking on a new client and worked well with my outgoing accountant to move all preexisting information across. He was very responsive to my questions and getting the return completed to meet an ATO deadline. Would definately recommend Skyways Accountants for all your accounting needs.

Cassandra Barrie ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Michael has been such an awesome help with getting my new companies set up. He is also really thorough and makes sure I understand what is required and why. Highly recommend him!

Luke Kruusmaa ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

After being with my previous accountant for 11 years it was time for a change and what a breath of fresh of air, I find Michael super easy to deal with really down to earth. He cuts out the rubbish while also being super professional. Highly recommended.

Kelvin Chua ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Recently engaged Michael to help with my video production sole trading business. Definitely would engage Skyways again, as he is super responsive and was quick to help file my taxes. In terms of pricing he is upfront and gives a flat quote (no surprises!) for his services. Honestly I feel like I am getting a lot more than I paid for. Thanks Skyways for the top notch service!

Matthew Morrissey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Michael has been doing my tax for the past couple of years. He is always professional and has a wide range of knowledge. Michael is awesome to deal with and does an amazing job. Would highly recommend him.

    * Advanced Manufacturing (e.g., Rheinmetall Defence Australia)

    * Health & Social Services (with Ipswich Hospital and many private healthcare providers)

    * Construction & Property Development

    * Education & Training (e.g., University of Southern Queensland campus)

    * Defence & Aerospace

    * Agriculture & Food Processing


    Business Support & Incentives


    Ipswich City Council and organisations like Ipswich Region Chamber of Commerce offer:

    * Business support programs and grants

    * Networking events and advocacy

    * Planning and development support

    * Investment attraction programs


    Lifestyle & Livability


    Ipswich offers an affordable and balanced lifestyle, which helps attract skilled professionals and families:

    * Lower cost of living and commercial real estate compared to Brisbane

    * Parks, heritage buildings, and cultural venues like the Ipswich Art Gallery

    * Strong community spirit and family-friendly infrastructure


    Sustainability & Smart City Growth


    Ipswich is investing in smart city infrastructure, sustainability programs, and digital connectivity, laying a future-focused foundation for high-tech and green businesses.

    * Smart transport solutions
