Previously, we relied on Excel spreadsheets and Google Sheets to track the progress and completion stages of our work. This was time-consuming and often required switching between multiple files and applications. With Karbon, everything is managed within a single system. We can easily update the status of tasks, monitor deadlines, and track work progress in real time. One of the biggest advantages is having all client-related information in one place. We can quickly access past communications, completed work, and historical records without having to search through multiple software programs or files. Another aspect worth highlighting is the excellent support we received during the implementation process. Our Customer Success Manager, \[sensitive content hidden\], provided outstanding support from the beginning of the implementation through to its successful completion. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always willing to assist whenever we had questions or required guidance. Her dedication and expertise played a significant role in ensuring a smooth and successful implementation of Karbon. > > **Cons**: One area that could be improved is the email functionality. When sending emails, there is currently no placeholder available to automatically insert the client's name into the email body or greeting. Adding a client name placeholder (for example, "Dear {{Client Name}}") would make email communication more efficient, reduce manual editing, and help personalize emails, especially when sending a large number of client communications. > > Overall, Karbon has significantly improved our team's efficiency, enhanced collaboration, and provided better visibility over client work and deadlines. ----- ### "Karbon Rocks\! Has been a gamechanger for our workflow and team visibility" — 5.0/5 > **Ryan** | *1 March 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Work and Task visibility and collaboration (within team and with clients). Karbon are also proactive with research and development and are always improving things which is great > > **Cons**: Honestly there's nothing that stands out to me right now, I can't imagine running my practice without it. > > We have been using Karbon since 2017 and it's the one tool we can not do without - we love it\! It keeps our team aligned, our jobs on track and our team communication on work and with clients in one place. As we've grown it's become even more important as the visibility across work, deadlines and client interactions are super important and are available at the touch of a button. Karbon really transformed the way we operated all those years ago and they continue to invest in their product to make sure we stay ahead of the game. The Karbon crew are absolute legends and dedicated to helping you succeed too, support is amazing. They genuinely care about delivering a world class product. If you are serious about growth and running your practice efficiently Karbon is a must have in my view - can't recommended it highly enough\! ----- ### "Essential for Keeping Our Client Work Organised and Efficient" — 5.0/5 > **Larisa** | *9 February 2026* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love the task and workflow management—it keeps all our client tasks well organised. Having a dedicated customer support person is also extremely helpful. > > **Cons**: There are only minor issues, which are gradually resolved as the product is regularly reviewed and updated. > > We have used Karbon for many years, and it continues to be an invaluable asset that greatly supports our business. ----- ### "Essential software for any practice" — 5.0/5 > **Jenny** | *30 September 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease of managing my client communications, workflow and priorities. I have received a lot of positive feedback from clients re the 'comment' feature. Customer support is fantastic, responses are always very prompt and detailed. > > **Cons**: The inability to create email rules or auto-replies in Karbon. It would be useful to be able to add editable tables in emails. Also, it would be beneficial to be able to add team members to an account rather than having to pay a full subscription for a team member requiring 'basic' functionality. > > Fantastic software, worth every penny and I would highly recommend to any new practice owner. Investing time in initial training is essential to maximise your use of the software. ----- ### "Innovation at Karbon keeps coming" — 4.0/5 > **Ziggy** | *6 October 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best feature for our team is Workflow Management, what a relief to be able to know where each work item / job is at for each client. The Task Management really help with not forgetting some of the simple things that need to be done. The fact that all the files and documents are stored in one spot and they can sync with our Dropbox is awesome. > > **Cons**: Sending emails can be patchy at times and slow at times and there are times when you're just sitting there waiting for example a "Forward email" to load > > Love the innovation that keeps coming and love our BDM. They are constantly looking at new and better ways to make it more efficient for us ----- Page: 1 / 10\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/156181/karbon?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/156181/karbon) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
