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 am very pleased to recommend Cherie and Munros. They are friendly, polite, energetic, honest and reliable. We feel in good hands with our taxation and business commitments. We have been delighted that Munros thoroughly understand our business structure and requirements. We are always treated with respect. We feel a sense of integrity infuses the company which is very important. We feel that Munro are up to date with the regulations and knowledge in their field. We have never been let down or kept waiting for an answer.

    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.

    I came over to Australia with a highly complicated cryptocurrency investing and trading portfolio. I never realised that I had to declare this in my tax returns as I had never cashed out into my bank account. I soon discovered that every transaction is taxable irrespective of whether or not you cash out. I contacted Munro’s in an outright panic and was put through to Cherie and explained everything to her. She immediately put me at ease and took control of my situation. From the start it was evident that I was in the care of a real professional tax consultant. I handed her a nightmare on a plate (3 years of highly complicated transactions) and she seamlessly worked through it. Cherie has incredible knowledge and experience and through this, Munro’s saved us thousands of dollars. I will remain at Munro’s until the very end. Thank you Cherie, you are the most knowledgeable and professional tax consultant that I have ever dealt with.

    After “investing” in cryptocurrencies for the past few years I thought my tax return was going to be a nightmare. Cherie and the team at Munro’s have done a fantastic job at making my last two tax returns as easy as possible for me and I will be continuing to use their services in the future.

    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.

    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.

    I engaged Munro’s on line owing to the fact that they claimed a specialisation in share trading. I am not a professional trader, however I presented Munro’s with a complex set of circumstances ranging over a 5-6 year period. To say I was delighted with their level of expertise and professionalism would be an understatement. I reside in Victoria and Munro’s is in WA, so this matter was dealt with entirely on line. The accounting professional that looked after my matter was one of the most helpful service providers I have recently encountered, going as far as assisting with my rather rudimentary IT skill. This firm, through the diligent work of the previously mentioned accounting professionals turned what I thought, was a dire Tax situation into a win for me. I cannot rate this firm highly enough, two other firms wanted me to jump through all sorts of hoops, Munro’s did a magnificent job, with little fuss and all on line. I publicly extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to the person that looked after my matter.

    Munro’s are an outstanding outfit mastering in complicated tax situations and are highly focussed on providing a client centred approach. I presented Saul with a complicated case of overdue tax’s and substantial crypto and share trading activity. To say that he handled this situation with aplomb is an understatement. He resolved my situation promptly and what seemed to be with ease. Sure it is great to have your taxes done by consummate professionals but for me this is not their best feature. It is the customer service that I received that was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. He was extremely patient and dealt with my constant questioning with a great attitude. Always polite and willing to offer his professional advice I sincerely felt like a had an ally in my corner. Saul was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to next years Tax Time.

    Mark.
