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 Munro’s… on your 50th year celebration.
It has been a pleasure working with you, since we opened our business 8 years ago. In particular, Ben Paul has been supporting us for the whole journey so far and we can highly recommend his expertise & friendly service.
Geoff, Doug & Yvonne Harwood
Very professional and communicative, will use again next year. Thank you.
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!
Mike assisted with our farm succession planning. Thanks to Mike’s in depth knowledge on this subject, this process has been smooth and amicable. We highly recommend Mike and his team for family business succession.
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!
As soon as I saw that Munro’s were recommended by the cryptocurrency tracking app CoinTracking for tax advice, I knew they must be absolute pros.
Munro’s will be my accountants for life now. Nothing was too much trouble and everything has gone so smoothly.
Here’s what Carl fixed for me for my latest tax return:
reconciled complex history from various crypto exchanges, some of which are now defunct, which I had spent several days trying to get various AI models to assist with to no avail
fixed my balance issue in CoinTracking to accurately reflect my position
Corrected purchase and sales history for employee shares scheme
Adjust various mistakes from my previous accountants and carry forward the adjustments
Scrutinised previous tax returns to adjust missed capital losses from a kitchen renovation completed over a decade ago on an investment property that can now be used to offset future capital gains.
Provide clear advice on every single thing I asked with no hesitation. It’s so obvious that these guys have seen it all and done it all.
Because I’m with Munro’s now, I feel SO much more confident about some big financial moves where the nightmarish tax implications would otherwise boggle the mind.
Thank you so much!
By the way, I wasn’t asked to do this review or sent one of those “please review us on Google” emails. I am posting this because I’m so happy with the service I was provided, it sells itself and I suppose a perfect 5 star rating with 140+ reviews is a testament to the fact that all of Munro’s customers have a similar experience to me. If you have complex tax affairs I don’t think you’ll find anyone better.
Munros are a quality accounting firm. My accountant Rama is very thorough with his work and attention to detail, I would recommend him to anyone who is involved in cryptocurrencies. Keep up the good work guys 🙂
Professional, insightful and always supporting. Christine and Munro’s has helped me through all avenue’s and queries regarding investment, tax return, property, super and general finance. Really appreciative of their work and highly recommend!
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.
We worked with Ben and his team from MUNRO’s accountants in Perth during a business purchase and due diligence process, and were absolutely impressed with their service. Their attention to detail and strong, practical advice gave us complete confidence throughout. Highly recommend for any Perth business looking for reliable and professional support.
