To get started working with our business accountants, we need to arrange a Get To Know Each Other meeting.
This is a free meeting (businesses only) that is typically around an hour in length and helps us both determine if we are a good fit.
A couple of the main things to think about as to whether we would be the right fit are:
If the answer to both those questions is yes, then we are most likely a great fit, no matter what stage of business you are in.
Typically, from here it is less about “can we help you” given you’ll find out during our meeting that we definitely can, it’s more about “do you want to pay for high-quality advice and assistance?”
We’re quite upfront about this and hopefully you can appreciate we bring up price early in our correspondence for the simple purpose of making sure neither of us are wasting our time if you’re not willing to pay for our premium service offering – As a high-quality accounting and business advisory service provider we have a minimum annual price of $3,000.
Trying to keep this topic short, we have a fair pricing policy (click the link to see the menu of prices too), which in essence is about saying we offer a premium accounting service and want to work with clients who want this. If that’s you, then we look forward to helping you grow your business well into the future with wealth protected and taxes legally minimised.
More about the specifics of the meeting are below.

We’re so excited for you.
You’re somewhere along your business journey and just about ready to have your problems solved. Getting to the root cause of problems and permanently fixing them.
And what’s even more exciting, going forward, you’ll be proactively mitigating problems before they arise and working on the scientifically verified high impact areas of your business, capable of propelling you to a sustainable competitive advantage and all the benefits which come with that.
So, please give us about three to four minutes to explain how we get started.
Firstly, what you need to do is hit that Book Now button and schedule a free Get to Know Each Other meeting. We can do this virtually over Zoom, or you can come into our headquarters in Perth.
You’ll need to set aside 1.5 hours for the meeting. It doesn’t typically take that long – usually more like an hour – but set aside enough time just in case.
At the meeting, you’re going to tell us all about your passion, the future you want to be living, and the problems you need help fixing.
We’re going to hear you out, and start to introduce things which might help fix them.
It’s unlikely that anything we propose will be too complex – since simple solutions can work wonders. But, we’ve got to be upfront, nothing’s going to be easy. Otherwise, you would have already done it.
As we discuss your problems, we’ll let you know if we can solve them, together. The ‘together’ part is vital. Without joint effort and conviction, it’s as simple as this, there’ll be no lasting solution.
We hate seeing people waste precious time and resources on half baked attempts. When people work with us, they give it their all.
So, either during or following the meeting, if you say you want our help, and we say we’re in, we’ll all be in it together. Working passionately to really solve your problems.
What’ll get you on board, to work with us, is entirely up to you. All we ask is that you be open and honest with us – as we will be with you. Letting us know what outcome you need, and what constraints or barriers, if any, you feel might be getting in the way.
And, what’ll get us on board, to work with you, is a strong sense – a commitment – that you’re genuinely going to invest the time and resources to fix things. That’s how we both gain the confidence that we’ll deliver exceptional value to you. By knowing you’re going to be in it, just as much as we are.
Regarding price, before you’re charged even one cent, we’ll be very clear with you what things are going to cost. We have a fair pricing policy, which can be distilled down to this:
We partner with clients who are looking for win-win-win situations.
That’s wins across the board for:
Provided that is something you are also looking for, then we’re confident in achieving successful outcomes for you, at a fair price.
Hopefully that’s addressed any queries you might have. If so, you know what to do now, book the meeting. If you’re still not sure, you can personally give me a call. My name’s Saul Segal and you can call me via the office on 08 9427 5200.
We look forward to meeting with you very soon.
The meeting can take place in-person at our Perth headquarters, or if you’re located elsewhere in Australia then we can also do the meeting over Zoom.
During the meeting we typically cover these items:
To allow us to best prepare for the meeting and assign to an appropriate accountant, we request the following information about the business and your/owner’s circumstances:
If you could also please provide a copy of your most recently completed financial statements that will be helpful.
After the initial meeting, if we both want to work together, then we typically get to work on fully scoping the services you need and agreeing to a mutually beneficial engagement agreement with clear pricing terms for the first 12 months.
We look forward to meeting with you soon.

From $2,000 (excl. GST)

Business Tax ReturnClaims 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.
I highly recommend Drew and the team at Munros for their excellent accounting services, particularly with investment income as well as their crypto expertise. Thanks Drew.
One of the best decisions we made was switching our accounting services to Munro’s. Especial thanks for Saul and Brian for their extensive knowledge, understanding our business requirement, goals and most importantly keeping us compliant. Extremely happy to engage with this organisation and team.
Munro’s have been our accountants, both for business and personal, for 50 years. During that time we have been really happy with the work done for us. The personel have always been professional, welcoming and efficient form the person at the front desk who greets you, to the people who handle your work.
Congratulations and best wishes for the future.
PS It does help that Simon supports the right footy team but he is not as good at tipping as he is at accounting!
From the moment we met Simon Strawbridge we were impressed and put at ease by his personable manner. We knew our taxation assessment was in competent and knowledgeable hands.We have been with Munro’s for 8+ years. During this time Drew Pflaum assisted us with BAS issues, which was greatly appreciated easing another financial burden. All the staff whom have assisted us through the years have been highly professional and always pleasant. In particular those at the reception desk always helped us with a smile. Even when reception was not attended, someone was quick to assist us. Munro’s make taxation assessment time a breeze. Thank you Munro’s. Congratulations on 50 years of excellent service
I’m extremely pleased with the services of Munro’s Accountants. They are professional and easy to work with. My situation was not simple yet they completed the task and have provided me with peace of mind going forwards. I would not hesitate to recommend them. AAAAA+++++
Great business accountants. Helped with company tax return. Convenient location and nice office in Perth. Special thanks to accountant, Drew Pflaum. Highly recommended.
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.
A big shout out to Mike and his team at Munro’s for the outstanding work you’ve done on our accounts and returns!!
From our very first interaction with Mike, we had a great feeling about engaging with Munro’s, and you’ve more than delivered.
It’s been such a relief to know our business and personal accounts are in such capable hands.
Highly recommended.
Great first experience at Munro’s.
Thanks Rama!
I can highly recommend Tony and Michael at Munros – they have done my family affairs for several years now and couldn’t be more happier with the service I receive. The quality and professionalism of the work is second to none.
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.
