Inception and Vision: The Munro’s story begins in the early 1970s with Don Munro and Barry Virgo at Wesfarmers Taxation Services. Recognising a potential conflict of interest, they spearheaded the creation of an independent accounting firm. Thus, on 1 July 1973, Munro’s was born, marking the start of an extraordinary journey.
Early Growth: Operating initially from Queen Street in Perth, Munro’s quickly gained traction, particularly with farming businesses and cooperatives. These early years were characterised by a deep understanding of the local business landscape, fostering relationships that were to become the cornerstone of our growth.
Strategic Acquisitions: A significant milestone was the acquisition of R A Long Rigby & Co in 1989, broadening our client base to include city and metropolitan businesses. This period saw further acquisitions, including Ken Crofts and Portobello, diversifying our services and clientele.
Evolution of Services: As our client base grew, so did our services. We adapted to the evolving needs of our clients, offering more tailored and sophisticated solutions, from tax consulting to comprehensive business advisory services.
Embracing Technology: As technology has evolved, Munro’s has integrated advanced systems – from the introduction of computers in the early years of Munro’s, to later adoption of smartboards, digital client interfaces and AI. This continuing transformation enables us to offer more efficient, secure, and convenient services – always focusing on what brings the most value to you.
Global Clientele: Our reach has extended beyond Western Australia, attracting clients from across Australia and internationally. This expansion has enriched our expertise and allowed us to offer a global perspective to our local and international clients.
Achieving Recognition: In the late 2010s, a remarkable trend emerged – our clients began sharing their experiences with Munro’s through Google reviews. Within a short period, Munro’s reached a significant milestone, collecting over 100 5-star Google reviews (an achievement only achieved by 63 of 4,300 (1.5%) Australian accounting firms based on an assessment we conducted in December 2023).
Our Promise, Your Experience: These reviews are not just numbers; they are a reflection of our brand promise – to be the professional problem solvers you can rely on. They are a story of a problem solved, a business supported and a relationship strengthened. They reinforce our position as a firm that not only understands your business needs but also cares deeply about your success.
People at the Core: At the heart of Munro’s are our people – a team dedicated to intellectual growth, client service and strong relationships. We celebrate this spirit through regular social events, fostering a culture of camaraderie and mutual respect.
50 Years of Munro’s: Our 50th-anniversary function was not just a celebration of our past but a testament to our enduring commitment to growth, innovation and client service.
Your Partner in Success: Our current office on Fitzgerald Street is more than a location; it’s a hub of expertise and solutions driven by your needs. With our latest website launched in 2024, we continue to be your professional problem solvers, trusted confidants and savvy advisors delivering on our promise to solve whatever simple or complex issue you face.
Congratulations on 50 years of accounting.
Munro`s have managed our family business affairs for approximately 45 years.
Thankyou.
Munro’s have been dealing with our taxes for a couple of years now, and have always been right onto anything to do with crypto and any other aspects of the industries we work in. Always friendly, helpful and professional.
Christine Prasetia is extremely efficient, always on hand with advice and is a pleasure to work with.
Munro’s are by far the best accounting firm I’ve ever dealt with it. My accountant Carl is very good at what he does and I would highly recommend him and the entire Munro’s team. They provide the most amazing customer service, absolute pleasure to deal with, incredible attention to detail and extremely experienced in all aspects of accounting for business, crypto, derivatives, property etc. I’m confident to say Munro’s have my business for life.
Very professional and communicative, will use again next year. Thank you.
I have been a Munro’s client for the past few years and they have professionally and patiently assisted me with complicated crypto tax returns. Everyone on their team is extremely friendly and I highly recommend Munros to anyone.
We are delighted with the friendly, knowledgeable and efficient service Simon and his team provide.
We have tested Simon’s patience and humour over the years but he has always managed to come through with a smile.Thank you to Simon and his team!
Thank you to Mike and Munro’s for your expertise, professionalism and patience.
Munro’s are an honest, reliable, on the ball, and personable business. The family feel engendered has been highly regarded by our family for over 40 years.
Congratulations on a significant and well deserved creditable milestone, with best wishes for what we are sure will be a successful future.
Congratulation on achieving 50 years in business! We made the move to Munro’s in 2015 and have since received sound professional advice & services for all accounting, taxation, business development and succession planning needs, to us personally, to our family and to our group of companies. We have found your services to be efficient, effective and of the highest caliber. Many thanks from the Hill Group.
I was recommended to use Munro’s as I had a number of well overdue tax issues to have resolved. All was promptly taken care of and with a far better outcome than I had anticipated…great work Josephine! Highly recommended!
