A History of Growth, Innovation & Happy Clients

Foundational Years (circa 1973-1989)

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.

Expanding Horizons (circa 1990-2009)

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.

Technological Advancements and 
Global Reach (circa 2010-2023)

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.

A Milestone of Client Satisfaction: 
Over 100 5-Star Reviews (circa 2019-2023)

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.

The Munro's Culture: Relationships and Results (a constant)

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.

Munro's Today and Tomorrow (circa 2023 onwards)

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.

    I highly recommend Munro’s for their brilliance and hard work. Saul, Sanjay and the Munros team are highly capable and passionate in their dealings with their clients and have been a strong pillar in navigating through my Taxes and Accounting over the past few years. They are exceptionally knowledgeable in their field of expertise and up to date with the latest policies/requirements and very easy to work with as they understand the client’s needs. I want to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to especially Saul and Sanjay for their professionalism, great advise, friendly attitude and major efforts in assisting me with my Taxes/ accounting. I couldn’t have asked for a better team than Munro’s.

    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.

    When I first discovered Munro’s and spoke to Drew, it was clear that they would be the perfect solution to my accounting issues. Owing to the nascent nature of crypto, I struggled to find a firm knowledgable and confident enough to handle my vast transaction history, across many networks and numerous wallets.

    Working closely with Rama, I have experienced nothing but prompt and clear communication at all times. I continue to be impressed with the accuracy, clarity and professional services I receive.

    In my experience, I have found Munro’s services are always provided with courteous and bespoke correspondence.

    Many thanks and congratulations to 50 years.

    Drew is absolutely amazing and very informative regarding tax purposes.
    If you are a NZ citizen and not already an Australian citizen, then you need to book a time with Drew.

    It was a breath of fresh air speaking with Drew as our previous accountants could not relay a definitive answer for some of the questions we had, and Drew answered it without a second thought.

    Seeking information regarding tax can be a daunting subject and not everyone explains it in Layman’s term, and that’s where Drew fits that topic.

    Definitely gained a couple more clients and has definitely earnt our business going forward.

    Thanks Drew 👍🏾

    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.

    Crypto trading is a new thing and I believe, just like many others I had made lots of mistakes not knowing that trading Crypto is a taxable event. Lucky, there is someone knowledgeable about this matter.

    Great education and support in this challenging time I have received from Drew the man!

    The level of communication is top, accurate and precise. They put their heart into the work to help out their client. Highly recommend if you are seeking a Crypto tax return service.

    Thanks Drew the man and Michael.”

    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.

    Super grateful to Drew and the team at Munro’s for their quick response and helpfulness! I reached out via their website to see about getting a referral for a comparable crypto tax advisor in the United States, as Munro’s seemed to be the best firm I came across in my research. Drew got back to me within hours and was kind enough to reach out to his network for a reputable contact. He directed me to a great firm and was quick, kind, and communicative throughout. Wish we were based in Australia so we could work with Drew and his team for all our tax advisory needs! Highly recommend.

    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.
