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.

The twelve distinct phases are:
Providing assistance when you need help with starting, buying or inheriting a business.

Providing help regarding such things as investments and family wealth protection.
When you need help with planning to exit your business.
When you need help with planning for retirement.
When you need help with planning for death.
Providing advice when you need help with closing, selling or handing down your business.
There for you when you need help with non-compliance matters in the later years in life, which can include such things as helping move into a retirement home, going to the bank, going to the post office, going into hospital and seeing your lawyer.
Providing accounting assistance when needed for your deceased estate after you die.
Providing them with help after you die, which can include assistance with testamentary trusts and ongoing accounting for entities that have been passed along.
Ultimately, through mutually beneficial long-term relationships, we are honoured to be a safe set of hands. Trusted confidants and savvy advisors in business and life.
We’re not here to spruik some “high-performance framework” or sell you things you don’t need.
Rather, we’re here to solve your accounting issues and arm you, and your team, with what you need to succeed.
No problem is too big or too small.
We’ll always help however we can.

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.
Got terrific service and advice from Drew. Simple, informative and a quick response time too. Would recommend.
I have to give a shout out to Munro’s. They were very professional and quick to respond to my tax and accounting questions. Awesome job guys, Thanks 👍
Josephine and the Munros team have looked after our accounting affairs for more then 10 years. I am incredibly pleased with the quality of the service they provided. They are professional, trustworthy and patient all the time. Highly recommend Munros.
Sorry, I can’t join you in your celebration on 1st September.
However, I wish to thank you for all your wonderful service for more years than I can remember, especially Simon, Carl and Annette.
Congratulations Munro’s… on your 50th year celebration.
It has been a pleasure working with you, since we opened our business 8 years ago. In particular, Ben Paul has been supporting us for the whole journey so far and we can highly recommend his expertise & friendly service.

Our dealings with Drew Pflaum of Munros were a revelation to my wife and I. Never before had we encountered a business accountant with such dedicated commitment to his clients. Drew’s work ethic is outstanding. When we found Drew online we were in desperate circumstances, faced with the loss of our two properties.
His empathy, hard work, patience and breadth of knowledge was incomparable and took us from despair to hope very quickly. He worked out strategies that bought us time and helped us immensely.
Without Drew’s input our future prospects were bleak. We’re delighted to have had the opportunity to review our very positive experience.
When I first discovered Munro’s and spoke to Drew, it was clear that they would be the perfect solution to my accounting issues. Owing to the nascent nature of crypto, I struggled to find a firm knowledgable and confident enough to handle my vast transaction history, across many networks and numerous wallets.
Working closely with Rama, I have experienced nothing but prompt and clear communication at all times. I continue to be impressed with the accuracy, clarity and professional services I receive.
In my experience, I have found Munro’s services are always provided with courteous and bespoke correspondence.
Many thanks and congratulations to 50 years.
Great business accountants. Helped with company tax return. Convenient location and nice office in Perth. Special thanks to accountant, Drew Pflaum. Highly recommended.
Great Firm. Have been dealing with Christine for a few years and she is always there for advice and willing to help. Highly recommend.
Excellent accounting service with a deep understanding of tax implications for SMSFs.
I was very impressed with Munro’s accounting service. Before I engaged with Munro’s, I met with accountants across Australia, but I decided to go with Munro’s because of their breadth and understanding of taxation.
Brian from Munro’s was able to quickly and efficiently complete my 2023 tax returns, and also provided additional advice and expertise on how I could better structure my affairs.
Originally, I briefed Munro’s to wind back my SMSF due to the administrative burden of managing it. However, Munro’s was able to clearly understand my affairs and prepare the tax documentation in a way that reduced the administrative burden. I was so impressed with their service that I decided to continue with the SMSF after all.
I highly recommend Munro’s to anyone looking for an accounting service with a deep understanding of taxation and SMSFs.
Munro’s are an honest, reliable, on the ball, and personable business. The family feel engendered has been highly regarded by our family for over 40 years.
Congratulations on a significant and well deserved creditable milestone, with best wishes for what we are sure will be a successful future.
