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.

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!

  • What are 7 reasons Silkstone 4304 a great place to run a business?

    Silkstone 4304, a suburb of Ipswich in South East Queensland, offers a blend of convenience, community, and commercial potential that makes it a smart location for businesses of all kinds. Here are 7 reasons Silkstone is a great place to run a business:


    1. Proximity to Ipswich CBD and Major Transport Corridors

    Silkstone is just 3 km from the Ipswich Central Business District, making it highly accessible for customers and employees. The suburb is well-connected to Brisbane Road and the Ipswich Motorway, enabling smooth travel to Brisbane, Springfield, and other parts of South East Queensland.


    2. Strong Local Community and Loyal Clientele

    With a population made up largely of young families, professionals, and retirees, Silkstone offers a diverse and stable customer base. Local residents actively support small businesses, especially in retail, healthcare, personal services, and hospitality.


    3. Affordable Commercial and Residential Property

    Whether you're looking to lease a shopfront, set up a home-based business, or invest in a commercial building, Silkstone offers lower property costs compared to inner-city Brisbane or more saturated Ipswich suburbs like Springfield. This affordability lowers the barrier to entry and improves profit margins.


    4. Presence of Key Anchors like Silkstone Village

    The recently upgraded Silkstone Village Shopping Centre—featuring Coles, cafes, and medical services—attracts daily foot traffic and provides great exposure for nearby businesses. Anchors like these help drive steady customer flows and give new businesses a visibility boost.


    5. Growing Demand for Local Services

    As the population in Ipswich continues to grow, there is rising demand for local health providers, child care, professional services, and trades. Silkstone's suburban layout and family-oriented population make it ideal for service-based businesses that benefit from repeat, local customers.


    6. Educational and Community Infrastructure

    Silkstone is home to Silkstone State School and near several other schools and childcare centres, which is great for businesses targeting families (e.g. tutoring, after-school activities, family healthcare, cafes). These institutions help foster a stable weekday trade environment.


    7. Supportive Local Council and Business Community

    The Ipswich City Council offers programs, grants, and business mentoring opportunities designed to support local enterprise. Additionally, community networks and local business groups encourage collaboration and community-led growth.
