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.

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.
Congratulations to Munro’s for achieving 50 years of service to WA, with a special thanks to Mike and his team for looking after us through our business, personnel and financial journey.
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.
OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED GREAT SERVICE FROM IAN ARBLASTER, ANNETTE WHYTE AND OF COURSE BEN PAUL. THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT. RAY NORTON
Mike has been most helpful and professional with our accounting, superannuation and taxation affairs. We had transferred some years ago from a less than professional person and now very pleased to be with Munro’s. Congratulations on 50 years and best wishes for a long and successful future.
I have been a client of Munro’s for 2 years and am very happy with their service. They have saved me a lot of time, effort, and money.
Excellent accounting service with a deep understanding of tax implications for SMSFs.
I was very impressed with Munro’s accounting service. Before I engaged with Munro’s, I met with accountants across Australia, but I decided to go with Munro’s because of their breadth and understanding of taxation.
Brian from Munro’s was able to quickly and efficiently complete my 2023 tax returns, and also provided additional advice and expertise on how I could better structure my affairs.
Originally, I briefed Munro’s to wind back my SMSF due to the administrative burden of managing it. However, Munro’s was able to clearly understand my affairs and prepare the tax documentation in a way that reduced the administrative burden. I was so impressed with their service that I decided to continue with the SMSF after all.
I highly recommend Munro’s to anyone looking for an accounting service with a deep understanding of taxation and SMSFs.
We have been with Munros for the life of our farming business. Munros staff are always so polite and helpful. Christine and her team are so professional, knowledgeable and have a thorough understanding of our business and what we wish to achieve going forward. We see them as a vital part of our business. We are very grateful for this relationship!
Very knowledgeable experts on complicated crypto tax matters. I would highly recommend every trader/investor to bite the bullet and seek professional advice from Munro’s.
Pleasure working with you guys and one of the best decisions to move forward in our family business with Munros. Utmost professionalism right from answering the phone to all of your advice and support.
Mike and the team at Munro’s have managed our personal and business affairs for over 20 years consistently achieving excellent results. Now in retirement we continue to be totally confident with Mikes advice. Congratulations Munro’s on 50 wonderful Years.
