KC Partnership

What KC Partnership does

KC Partnership is a Brisbane-headquartered specialist tax depreciation and asset services firm serving Australian property investors and commercial property owners. Founded in 2004 by Sean Connolly and acquired by Koste Group in 2017, the company produces over 3,000 residential depreciation reports annually through a three-tier packaged offering — Silver ($395+GST), Gold ($495+GST), and Platinum ($695+GST) — and provides commercial quantity surveying services including asset registers, depreciation audits, transaction support, property insurance assessments, and progress claims. Services are delivered by Chartered Quantity Surveyors holding full AIQS and RICS memberships and Tax Practitioners Board licensing, with reports prepared under ATO ruling TR 97/25.

The firm operates a small team (approximately 5 employees) supported by proprietary technology, most notably the CODE (Creating Optimum Depreciation Entitlements) reporting system that enables asset-, property-, and portfolio-level depreciation modeling and analysis for clients with commercial property portfolios. The company also offers an online Depreciation Calculator that estimates deductions incorporating renovation costs, distinguishing it from generic online calculators. Distribution is direct and Australia-wide, executed through phone sales (1300 726 098), an e-commerce shop, and online quote request forms, with over 90% of business generated from existing clients and referrals. Named commercial engagements include Novotel Brisbane, CrystalBrook Collections, and Aristocrat Technologies.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time fees for residential reports and project-based professional services fees for commercial work, structured to maximize the tax depreciation deductions claimable under Australian legislation. The company differentiates through professional credentials, the proprietary CODE software, in-house cost databases for historical construction cost estimation, and a guarantee to save clients twice the fee in the first full tax year or provide the report free. KC Partnership is a subsidiary of Koste Group, which positions it within one of Australia's largest depreciation provider platforms.
