Pricing

Yes, absolutely.

In order for us to provide a quote we need to have a clear understanding of your circumstances and requirements. We call this scoping the services you require. To get to that point, we either need you to send us the information and/or have a meeting. If you’re unsure what to do next, then submit an enquiry and we’ll get back to you within one business day.

Munro’s seeks to fairly price services and ensure you receive great value for services provided.

In determining price, we take into consideration your specific situation. Factors which influence the price include the complexity of your personal, investment and/or business affairs, completeness of data, compilation of data, number of different accounts, wallets and exchanges, types of transactions, number of investments traded, and timeliness of advice and assistance sort.

Our pricing generally begins at $3,300 per annum for modest affairs, with intermediate affairs around $6,600 and complex affairs $12,000+.

 

If it’s a simple yes/no or quick question (say less than a couple of minutes) for us to answer, then no. If we need to reply in-detail and/or conduct an analysis or research, then we will invoice this professional work in accordance with our pre-agreed engagement terms.

Get to Know Each Other Meeting 

The difference is our true business advisory approach.

We are privileged to have helped many businesses grow over many decades, and have assisted in the transition of businesses from one generation to the next.

We truly believe in building strong client relationships – this is because we understand that forging strong relationships is the key to producing successful outcomes for our clients.

We practice what we preach, and we understand what truly works when it comes to running a successful business.

We also understand that our employees are our biggest assets. We provide top-of-the-line training and have a generous remuneration policy, as well as foster a strong culture embedded on work-life balance, in order to ensure that our employees are happy with their work.

Happy, fulfilled employees are then best placed to provide YOU with the exceptional service that you deserve.

If you want to have a chat with one of our specialist advisors, please feel free to reach out to us and provide us with a brief outline of your background and what you hope to achieve.

We will then schedule a FREE, no-strings-attached Get To Know Each Other meeting so you can learn more about us (and vice-versa), and be confident that Munro’s is well-equipped to handle your accounting and business advisory requirements.

You can engage us for business coaching and advisory work while still retaining your existing accountant for your tax compliance requirements. We are proud to let you know that we have clients who initially engaged us for this trial and were extremely satisfied with our advisory service, such that they decided to make the complete switch to Munro’s for their accounting requirements.

Wonderful! We are excited that you are keen to engage Munro’s to assist with your tax and business affairs.

If you want to have a chat with one of our specialist advisors, please feel free to reach out to us and provide us with a brief outline of your background and what you hope to achieve.

We will then schedule a FREE, no-strings-attached Get To Know Each Other meeting so you can learn more about us (and vice-versa), and be confident that Munro’s is well-equipped to handle your accounting and taxation requirements.

Please be advised, however, that we may not be able to provide specialist advice in this initial catch-up. If you require tailored, specialist advice on complex matters, then you can engage us for a paid consultation. We will let you know if a paid consultation is required to address your concerns.

Paid Tax Consultations 

If you need tailored tax advice – have questions or are uncertain about what is best for you – then a consultation is perfect for you.

Should you simply require a tax return to be prepared and lodged, then you are better off asking for a quote.

If you’re a business owner/leader looking to engage us for business advisory and accounting services, then book a Get To Know Each Other meeting instead.

A paid tax consultation is a meeting to address specific tax issues. Its purpose is to address those tax issues during the meeting – for us to give you tax advice.

This is different to the Get To Know Each Other meeting, which is designed for both of us to get to know the other, broadly discussing the problems you face and the solutions we may be able to provide. We don’t generally provide tailored tax advice during the Get To Know Each Other meeting. Rather, the result of the Get To Know Each Other meeting may be a joint agreement for Munro’s to prepare an engagement proposal, which should be the beginning of a long and prosperous advisory relationship for you and your business. Refer to How We Get Started for more information.

Consultations allow you to meet with a specialist advisor from Munro’s to discuss and address your situation, questions, concerns and options. Your Munro’s advisor will use their many years of experience and expertise to provide you with readily available answers and advice. A post-consultation email is also sent to you, which briefly outlines the advice given. Additionally, if you want us to, we can record the consultation and provide you with a copy.

Whilst we of course do our very best to provide the necessary advice during the initial consultation, we are not always able to address everything in one consultation. Where your situation/plans include complex matters which cannot be fully addressed during the initial consultation, we can provide further advice and assistance as required as part of a secondary consultation and/or project. This additional work will be separately priced based on your unique circumstances following the first consultation, and agreed with you before proceeding further. There is no obligation to proceed should you not wish to receive the additional advice and assistance.

This depends on your circumstances and can only be answered with a maybe. Until such time that we explore what it is you are doing and plan to do, we cannot say whether or not one consultation will be sufficient to address everything. We make our expertise available to you by way of a consultation, capped at the agreed price, so as to best address what you need and allow us to let you know what further advice and assistance (if anything) is needed. Our clients continue to be very pleased with our professional services and we are confident we can help you too.

If you remain unsure if a consultation is right for you, then please submit an enquiry. Include your name, phone number, background information/circumstances and questions. We will respond within one business day, suggesting whether or not a consultation is necessary or what your other options are.

No, tax consultations where we provide tailored tax advice are not free.

Only the Get To Know Each Other meeting is free. See above – What’s the difference between a paid tax consultation and Get To Know Each Other meeting?  – then consider what is best for you.

We charge a fair price for consultations because you have asked us to provide you with advice and there are costs associated with providing that advice.

Only in exceptional circumstances. If you are a startup or not-for-profit, then you are welcome to submit an enquiry to request a discounted consultation. Please be sure to state your name, phone number, background information/circumstances and questions. We will respond within one business day, letting you know if you qualify for a discounted consultation.

Payment for consultations are accepted using Stripe or direct bank deposit.

Stripe 

When booking online, your payments are securely processed by Stripe. We accept payment using Mastercard, VISA and AMEX.

After you select your consultation date and time, you will be asked to answer a few questions and then pay using Stripe.

To complete payment, you need to include the Name as it appears on your debit/credit card, your card number and expiry date.

Direct Bank Deposit 

If you would prefer to pay using direct bank deposit, then please call our reception at (08) 9427 5200.

Tax Returns 

If all you need is a tax return prepared and lodged (i.e. you don’t require any advice), then rather than book a paid tax consultation you can request a quote from us.

Since everyone’s circumstances are unique to them, in order to provide a quote we firstly need to review your situation and relevant activity/transactions.

To allow us to do this, please email Enquiries@munros.com.au the following information:

  1. Tell us your name and phone number.
  2. Explain what you want.
  3. Explain your situation/activity/transactions.
  4. Where applicable, provide the following:
    1. A copy of your most recently lodged income tax return and financial statements.
    2. Access to your bookkeeping software or spreadsheets containing all transactions. Essentially the records associated with all your income and expenses.
    3. Refer to these instructions, if applicable:
    4. Anything else that we need and should know about your tax affairs.

Alternative to email, you can upload to our secure client account facility. If you would like to use the client account facility, then please let us know and we will arrange for a team member to setup your account.

    The Munros Team have exceeded my wildest expectations, with delivering the most competent, friendly and fruitful service. Thanks to their patience, great lines of communication and willingness to take on difficult challenges- they have turned my headaches into happiness. I’d recommend Munros to any Trader using complex or new systems, and maybe feel like their tax situation is an unholy mess. Munros worked hard to really understand the nascent Kinesis Monetary System, with its nuanced trading complexities. Purely due to painstaking efforts to “nut it all out”. Thanks heaps… Absolute Legends!

    5 Stars from Don. I can’t thank Drew and Brian enough for dealing with my very complex history across multiple years of cryptocurrency trading. This has been across many exchanges, wallets, and my Dash Masternode history also. Drew and Brian have been flawless when fielding my various questions across the months it has taken to work through my complex case load.
    Based in Sydney, I got into cryptocurrency in 2013, and it lead me down a trajectory in life I could never have foreseen. Getting this tax aspect of it up to date will take a layer of stress off my back.

    I highly recommend Munro’s, Perth.

    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!

    Exceptional Professionalism and Genuine Support

    I can’t thank Drew enough for the incredible support he offered during an incredibly stressful and emotional time. His communication was efficient, clear, and refreshingly straightforward—qualities that are hard to come by when dealing with complex financial and legal matters.

    Although Munros were ultimately unable to take on my case due to an internal conflict, Drew still gave generously of his time and expertise without charge. He treated the complex situation with empathy and integrity, when most professionals would have run a mile. His advice and clarity made a tangible difference to both my confidence and the steps I’m now taking to secure a better future for myself and my children.

    It’s deeply regrettable that I can’t continue with Drew as our accountant long-term, because he would’ve been my first choice without question. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing not only expert accounting but also genuine human support.

    Thank you again, Drew — you have been amazing.

    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!

    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.
