video transcript

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:

  1. A great outcome and experience for you – the client and your stakeholders;
  2. A rewarding experience for Munro’s people; and
  3. Always at a price that enables long term benefits for you, Munro’s people, business, and the wider community we seek to positively impact.

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.

    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!

  • ★★★★★ — D C

    Munro’s is delivering excellent results for me. My initial engagement was a complex situation comprising of many years of outstanding returns in both the traditional and cryptocurrency space. Drew, Sanjay and Saul were able to rise to the challenge and managed the whole process including preparation, lodgement and dealing directly with the ATO. They have always been friendly, responsive, diligent and provide actionable advice based on observations they have made from my data and by also understanding my personal goals and objectives.

    I am confident I have the right team by my side with Munro’s and I highly recommend Munro’s to anyone looking for top quality service and advice.

    Accountant Drew was very helpful with a detailed insight to capital gains tax and reset period shall we sell our property. Drew contacted five minutes after I enquired to the office and followed up with this assessment

    The tax tribunal has said that a common-sense assessment applies when considering the varying number of factors and even conflicting circumstances when determining if a house is someone’s main residence. In your case, the Bunbury house may have become your main residence for that short eight week stay if you moved a great deal of personal belonging there. However, a common-sense assessment likely suggests it did not become your main residence (at least on the facts that I know). If it didn’t become your main residence, then the maximum period you can claim the property as your main residence for the period since 2018 is 6 years. I.e. 2018-2014. For the period 2024 onwards, the main residence exemption cannot apply. You could, however, move back in and re-establish it as your main residence and then move out and rent again, which would restart the absentee rule. However, you still would not get the main residence exemption for the period 2024 to the time you moved back in because the maximum 6 years has expired for this current period of absence.

    Drew and the team at Munros have made my cryptocurrency accounting a breeze primarily for tax purposes and to ensure all previous years were reconciled correctly given my previous tax agents literally had no idea despite their knowledge of my crypto holdings for the past 2 tax years. Well done Drew, well done Munros for specialising in this space. Great job!!

    At HiscoNFE we use Munro’s for all of our tax and accounting advice and we are always impressed with the quality of their service. The team at Munro’s is extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful and affordable and Drew in particular is a guru when it comes to anything that involves tax. On the rare occasion where Simon has suggested we get a second opinion for a complex tax matter, the Munro’s advice has always been proven to be spot on! We highly recommend the team at Munro’s and we are very grateful for their support over the last 10 years. Sincere thanks from the owners at HiscoNFE!

    Crypto trading is a new thing and I believe, just like many others I had made lots of mistakes not knowing that trading Crypto is a taxable event. Lucky, there is someone knowledgeable about this matter.

    Great education and support in this challenging time I have received from Drew the man!

    The level of communication is top, accurate and precise. They put their heart into the work to help out their client. Highly recommend if you are seeking a Crypto tax return service.

    Congratulations Munro’s on 50 years. I think my father must have been one of Donald’s and Barry’s earliest clients. Their names were ever present around the breakfast table when I was hopping on a school bus. I reflected with Christine a few months ago that the most important people in life were my family, my accountants, my GP and and Gough Whitlam. In no particluar order. (Why Gough Whitlam? He gave me a free university education and stopped the Vietnam ballot a year before it was my turn. And I have never voted labor). Thanks to Ian, Melissa, Christine, Noeline and Rama. Ever professional.

    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.

    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.
