Since 1973, we at Munro’s – a business improvement and accounting firm headquartered in Perth, but servicing clients all across Australia and sometimes internationally – have pursued Munro’s core mission of helping business people as safely and easily as possible start, grow and eventually exit successful businesses.
We’ve pursued this mission by providing professional services that help legally minimise taxes, safeguard wealth, and solve whatever problems our clients face throughout the business journey and beyond.
As ‘The Professional Problem Solvers’, we take great pride in helping Australians solve problems, but even more pride comes from helping prevent those problems.
We have a willingness to tackle whatever simple or complex issues, come up.
The willingness is tempered by the fact that we understand that we can’t know everything; and from time to time, we need to help connect our clients with external domain specialists.
We do whatever is necessary to help our clients get the best possible outcome.
Providing real value is a must, and so we pursue three big wins:
Evidence of our success in achieving this can be found in the more than 100 genuine 5-star client reviews shown on our website and submitted on Google. Based on an assessment we performed in December 2023, these ranked Munro’s in the Top 2% of Australian Accounting Firms.
They reveal not only the superb work we did for our clients, but also the care that is always taken and the lasting relationships we build with clients.
It’s these long-term relationships that achieve success for all parties, which make everything we do worthwhile.
We’re Perth-based accountants and business advisors servicing businesses and investors throughout Western Australia and across Australia (we have international clients too).
For over 50 years, we’ve been diligently applying our high-quality accounting, tax and business advisory services to help people throughout every stage of the business journey, including:
Since 1973, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted partner for progressive business owners. We know that many entrepreneurs face challenges like rising operating costs, unpredictable cash flow and the constant threat of tax inefficiencies. These problems can stall your business growth, create uncertainty and prevent you from realising your full potential. That’s where our “Professional Problem Solvers” approach comes in.
We provide both premium accounting services (if that’s all you want) and business advisory services too (for those looking to grow profitably).
We work with you to understand your unique challenges and devise practical, evidence-led solutions. Whether you’re worried about paying too much tax, unsure how to protect your assets or need strategic advice to boost profitability, our team is here to help. Our holistic service blends traditional accounting with business advisory and asset protection strategies, ensuring that you receive clear, tailored solutions that add real value to your business.
Our service offerings include:
At Munro’s, we believe that thriving businesses positively impact their owners, employees, customers and communities. We’re not just your accountants—we’re your partners in long-term success. We’re here to ensure that every dollar you earn is working as hard as you do.

Claims of being a ‘Top 2% ranked Australian Accounting Firm‘ (and similar claims) are based on two separate assessments conducted by Munro’s on 9-10 August 2023 and 1 December 2023. The ranking is derived from a comparison of the total of each accounting firm’s overall star rating multiplied by each firm’s quantity of reviews as shown on Google Maps. A total of 4,235 Australian accounting firms listed on Google Maps were identified for the earlier assessment, and a total of 4,301 for the latter assessment, which may not represent a complete list of Australian accounting firms. Munro’s claims are based on Munro’s best estimation and represent a snapshot collected at the time of each assessment. If the assessment was to be conducted today, then it is likely that Munro’s ranking would have changed – Munro’s may or may not be in the Top 2% today. Also, the methodology does not account for other potentially relevant factors such as quality of service, expertise, or client satisfaction beyond Google Maps reviews.

In December 2023, we conducted a review of Australian accounting firms on Google Maps, based on star rating and quantity of reviews.
Out of the 4,301 Australian accounting firms we identified on Google, Munro’s ranked number 44, placing us in the Top 2% of Australian Accounting Firms. We’re thrilled to share this fact with you and share those reviews on our website. We’d also like to thank all our clients who left us those wonderful reviews.
Thank you.
Great business accountants. Helped with company tax return. Convenient location and nice office in Perth. Special thanks to accountant, Drew Pflaum. Highly recommended.
Happy 50 years !!! I joined Munro’s in 1974 just close to when the accounting firm had started, Don Munro was my accountant at the time and helped greatly in all my various problems and successes and he still remained a very dear friend to me; now Simon Strawbridge is looking after me and I can only praise all the work that he has been doing for me not only in accounting, but also in advising my various legal problems and investments.
I can only say well done to the whole team and hope that I will still be their client in the coming years.
From the small technical stuff to the sage big picture advice, Simon and team Munro’s have been patiently guiding and safeguarding our family’s financial journey for decades. THANKS !! Here’s to the next 50 years!
I was recommended to use Munro’s as I had a number of well overdue tax issues to have resolved. All was promptly taken care of and with a far better outcome than I had anticipated…great work Josephine! Highly recommended!
Munro’s are by far the best accounting firm I’ve ever dealt with it. My accountant Carl is very good at what he does and I would highly recommend him and the entire Munro’s team. They provide the most amazing customer service, absolute pleasure to deal with, incredible attention to detail and extremely experienced in all aspects of accounting for business, crypto, derivatives, property etc. I’m confident to say Munro’s have my business for life.
Christine Prasetia is extremely efficient, always on hand with advice and is a pleasure to work with.
Mike has been most helpful and professional with our accounting, superannuation and taxation affairs. We had transferred some years ago from a less than professional person and now very pleased to be with Munro’s. Congratulations on 50 years and best wishes for a long and successful future.
Very happy with the service provided by Drew and Cherie.
Congratulations to Munros on reaching its 50 Year Milestone! This excellent firm has efficiently handled our Family’s affairs for 45 years, and into its 3rd Generation.
We have been grateful for conscientious and good advice from Ted and now from Mike. Roll on the next 50 Years!
Best wishes from the Hodgson Family.
5 Stars!
Thanks very much Rama & Christine! … and Drew 🙂 Although I’m based in Sydney I have been using Munros’ for my SMSF and other accounting matters for many years now and they have always been exceptionally professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I have great peace of mind knowing they have my back especially with some of my more complicated crypto matters. They are up to date with new regulations, always polite and I feel genuinely care about my circumstances. Being in Perth is actually an advantage for me as I’ve often communicated by email and phone after my normal busy working hours which has proved very convenient. Highly recommended!
The team at Munro’s has been of great assistance to me over the years, with a particular special mention to Drew Pflaum. They’ve helped me navigate some complex tax matters with proactive, insightful, and pragmatic advice. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking expertise in this area. Thank you again to the whole team and especially to Drew.
