Talia Anderson-Town has lived her entire life in Ratana. Now she and Cameron Town, owners of Silks Audit, are making it possible for nine first home-buyers from Ratana to purchase homes there.
Nine first home buyers will move into their own houses this year thanks to two Whanganui business owners who want to improve home ownership among Māori.
Talia Anderson-Town CA is one of a small number of Māori chartered accountants in New Zealand. The Whanganui-based director of Silks Audit first came across accounting in year 11 at secondary school. “I took it as a subject and didn’t really know what it was but loved it and have continued with it throughout my career,” she says.
Silks Audit would like to congratulate Talia Anderson-Town for being Appointed by the Minister of Health (Hon Andrew Little) to the Pharmac Board for a three year term commencing on 4th December 2021.
Local Whanganui Māori business owners were given the opportunity to network with Māori business mentors, government agencies and local iwi organisations at the inaugural Māori Business summit in Whanganui. Regan Paranihi reports.
We are pleased to announce that In January 2022 we will be welcoming the staff and services of Dixon & Co into the Silks Audit whānau. We are looking forward to servicing the Taupō, Turangi and Rotorua region with local staff in a happy Taupō office. We are excited about expanding in the regions.
Silks owners Talia Anderson Town and Cameron Town are committed to hiring graduates and sharing the valuable skills that enabled them to become leaders of community development projects.
They are a shining example of the companies highlighted in our recent report: The Māori economy – obstacles and opportunities.
Silks audit director Talia Anderson-Town said it was challenging for businesses to get their audit completed during these uncertain times.
“The new norm is virtual audits, meeting on Teams or Zoom and accessing records through cloud storage.
“The end-product is still the same, but how we get there is up to ‘me mahi tahi tatou’; us working together.”
The Māori economy is not separate, nor is it distinct; it is integrated and interwoven into the wider New Zealand economy. Westpac shines a lens on the Māori economy – including case studies such as Silks Audit.
We are Chartered Accountants, difference makers and proud auditors.
