I’m glad my sister introduced me to Carl, he has a wealth of knowledge, great at complex problem solving, always helpful and very attentive. Would give 10 stars if I could.

— Robert Elliott

Brilliant accounting firm I have trusted for almost 30 years with all of my business and personal accounting. Their service is second to none.

— Moree Grazing Co, Tambellup WA

We have been clients of Munro’s (and Donald F Munro & Assoc. before that) for more than 50 years and have always found them to be right on point with their advice and work. Nothing is too much trouble to research and the responses always given in easy-to-understand language. We love that the K.I.S.S principle is used (keep-it-simple-stupid!) We can’t thank Simon and Carl enough for the great service that they provide. I have also, in community roles, worked with Barry Virgo and Ian Arblaster over the years on Co-operative business and their knowledge was second to none.

Thank you and congratulations Munro’s on 50 years + in business.

  Due diligence is essential in uncovering the truth about a business’s claims, facts, and overall situation, aiding in determining its worthiness for purchase.
  
  Comprehensive due diligence, encompassing tax and legal aspects, financial analysis over several years, customer and supplier analysis, and key dependency risks, is advocated over limited due diligence to mitigate substantial financial risks.
  
  Limited due diligence may highlight immediate financial health but could miss critical issues like customer dependency risks, leading to potential major revenue losses post-purchase.
  
  Examples illustrate the dangers of limited due diligence, including operating against local laws unknowingly, which can result in severe consequences for the business.
  
  Always opt for comprehensive due diligence to uncover hidden risks and ensure the business has the best chance for long-term success; consider revisiting negotiation or exploring alternative options based on findings.
