Advice from Perth-based Business Advisors about Developing a Sustainable Competitive Advantage

Many business owners, CFOs, financial controllers and managers know the goal is to run a business with a sustainable, profitable competitive advantage. However, it’s common to feel overwhelmed by day-to-day challenges and lose sight of the bigger picture—people, culture and purpose.

At Munro’s, our team of experienced business accountants and advisors based in Perth and servicing clients across Australia understand the factors that drive long-term success and know how to support you through the challenges of growth. They appreciate that you need to balance short-term pressures with the need to develop a strategic plan that drives sustainable growth, and most importantly, actually get it implemented.

When you’re ready to talk about what we could do for you, please book a meeting or send an enquiry.

What’s Required to Develop an Advantage for Long-Term Success?

It’s all linked to your:

  • People;
  • Culture; and
  • Purpose.

Purpose Problem

You’re Chasing Growth in the Wrong Areas
Without a clear and distinct purpose, which both motivates employees and delivers value to customers, businesses can find themselves competing on price, being less productive, and uncertain about where, and how, to seek growth.

Solution
Be clear about your purpose.

Outcome
Superior strategy development.

Culture Problem

You’re Not Performing to Your Best.
Culture is one of those things in business that many just let happen. As a consequence, a competitive disadvantage may accrue wherein there is lower staff productivity, lower employee retention and lower talent attraction.

Solution
Develop a high-trust, high-purpose, high-standards culture.

Outcome
Great employees stay, thrive and you attract more.

Talent Problem

You’re Not Improving As Required
A clear purpose and high standards culture won’t achieve a sustainable competitive advantage unless all staff are given the best opportunities to continuously improve.

Solution
Effective training.

Outcome
Superior strategy execution.

    I’ve used Munro’s for my past 3 tax returns. They are always very responsive to my enquiries and provide excellent advice when questioned. I now have a much better understanding of the tax obligations within my field of work and my investments thanks to them. It’s definitely worth paying for an accountant who knows what they’re doing! Cheers.

    On behalf of our farming family, congratulations on 50 years. We have been with Munros 3 generations starting I think when My Grandmother switched at the start. My late Father always had good dealings with whoever was assigned to us which there have not been too many over the 50 years which I think may be a reflection of the stability and integrity of Munros. Simon Strawbridge who was the new kid on the block back in my fathers day and the rest of the team has always provided us with great service and we thank the whole team for their support over the years.

    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.

    Munros have been doing my family tax returns for the past 3 years, and I’ve been nothing but delighted with the service they’ve offered. They took on a relatively complex set of returns, including sharing of CGT benefits between myself and my partner, and did exactly what I hoped they’d do, and more. Not only that, they always went above and beyond to explain what they have done and why, keeping us happy and at ease at all times during the tax return processes.

    And to top it off, their knowledge of the crypto space is phenomenal, as are the tools they’ve developed to report and get the best possible returns with cryptos in mind.

    Give them a try, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

    We first met Mike Beer 25 years ago, when he was assigned to our account by his employer at the time. When Mike moved to Munro’s, we decided to transfer our business to follow him as we were so impressed with both his professionalism and his character.

    We have never regretted our decision to keep our business with Munro’s and Mike, who we think of as a good friend first and a total professional second for the excellent service he and his company have provided.

    Congratulations Munro’s on your anniversary!

    I highly recommend Munro’s for their brilliance and hard work. Saul, Sanjay and the Munros team are highly capable and passionate in their dealings with their clients and have been a strong pillar in navigating through my Taxes and Accounting over the past few years. They are exceptionally knowledgeable in their field of expertise and up to date with the latest policies/requirements and very easy to work with as they understand the client’s needs. I want to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to especially Saul and Sanjay for their professionalism, great advise, friendly attitude and major efforts in assisting me with my Taxes/ accounting. I couldn’t have asked for a better team than Munro’s.

    David and I have been loyal clients of Munros for many years—I think since we were married in 1962. David made all the decisions in those early years. I became a more active partner as we worked with Ted Wilhelm and Ian Arblaster until their retirement. We then worked with Christine Prasetia for our financial, accounting, taxation and our wills until David’s death in May, 2017. Christine has patiently guided me through taking up the reins of our business venture. She is very efficient and totally reliable in all our dealings. I feel fortunate to have Christine as my accountant and business advisor. Thanking you, Val McAlpine
