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 business 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.
