The Team
Who you work with
Headshot coming soon
Poonam holds a Master’s in Microbiology and is completing her nursing degree, two fields built on precision, process, and getting the details right. Behind the scenes, she runs the business: finances, operations, and the structure that ensures every client engagement is consistent, responsive, and easy to deal with.
Headshot coming soon
Chemical engineer by trade, Akshay has 13+ years across heavy industry: mining, manufacturing, and process environments. He has lived and worked across regional Australia, from Port Hedland to Phosphate Hill near Mt Isa, Townsville, and now Gladstone. He knows how regional businesses actually operate: tight margins, long distances, and no patience for advice that doesn’t translate to the job site. That’s the lens Aethiro is built through, carbon accounting that is rigorous enough for a tender audit and practical enough for a business watching every dollar.
Mission & Values
Why we do what we do
Regional Queensland businesses face the same compliance pressures as the big end of town, but without the resources. We exist to make carbon accounting for SMEs affordable, defensible, and operational, levelling the playing field.
Plain‑English, always
We explain carbon in the language of maintenance schedules, production targets and cash flow, not academic frameworks. Your team should actually understand the numbers.
Practical, not theoretical
We build solutions around what you already have, your existing records, spreadsheets and systems. No new software subscriptions, no complex portals, no theoretical net‑zero roadmaps you can't implement.
Verification-level rigour
Methodology aligned with ISO 14064 verification rigour means your inventory is built the way an auditor expects from day one, so you're never caught off guard by a supply chain or tender audit. Lead trained at TÜV SÜD.
No complexity, just results
We don't sell complexity. We help businesses measure what matters, reduce what they can, and report with confidence.
Affordable & transparent
Clear, fixed‑fee scopes so you know exactly what you're getting. No big‑four price tags, no surprise invoices, no retainers you don't need.
Built for growth
We structure your emissions data and processes so they can grow with you, from your first carbon footprint through to full AASB S2 compliance and ISO 14064 verification.
