Edwin Martell Silk started the first Silks Accountancy firm in Whanganui in 1904. In true Silks tradition, David Fraser and Cameron Town understood the necessity for change and that Audit should become an independent business. It would allow their team to stretch and expand their knowledge base and in 2010 the decision to separate the Audit group from the Business Advisory Services group was made.Maintaining the Silks legacy was also important and so our Team name became our business name. We are ‘Silks Audit Chartered Accountants'.January 2011 saw Silks Audit come into their own. We have one of the largest audit teams in the Central and West Coast of the North Island predominately in the Whanganui, Manawatu, Taranaki and Taupo regions.
