About us
Since its inception in 2012 from a modest office on Cavill Avenue, Surfers Paradise, Koste has consistently been at the forefront of innovation in the tax depreciation sector. Pioneering the adoption of Virtual Site Inspections, we set a new industry standard.
We were also the first to introduce fixed price structures for residential reports, ensuring transparency and trust. Furthermore, our trailblazing spirit led to the creation of specialist tax depreciation software, now utilized by hundreds of partners to produce white-label reports. With over 40,000 reports for clients across Australia, our growth is a testament to our unparalleled expertise and service. Founded by Mark Kilroy, a renowned expert in the field, Koste boasts a robust team of Quantity Surveyors nationwide. Our commitment to professionalism and results, combined with our innovative strides, solidifies Koste as the premier choice for tax depreciation needs.

As the founder, I take immense pride in our team’s dedication and the trust you place in us. Rest assured, with Koste, you’re not just choosing a service provider, but a partner who truly champions your financial interests.
Warm regards, Mark Kilroy
Our Journey
Starting in 2012, Koste set out from Brisbane with a vision to reshape tax depreciation in Australia.
Our growth was swift, expanding to major cities by 2016 and strategically acquiring KC Partnership in 2017. With the introduction of EDepreciation in 2018 and our innovative Capal software in 2020, we solidified our commitment to cutting-edge solutions. The challenges of COVID-19 spurred us to further invest in technology, ensuring we not only met but elevated industry standards. Today, Koste stands as a beacon of innovation, resilience, and unwavering dedication to our clients.
