Dairy Women’s Network (DWN) has announced a new partnership with CMK Chartered Accountants.
DWN chief executive Jules Benton says the partnership is a ‘fantastic step’.
“They are based in Taranaki with over 70-years of strong agricultural focus, so they really get what farming is about and are already trusted advisors to many. I know first-hand how passionate they are about understanding their client’s businesses and their goals.”
“One of their Associates is a volunteer Regional Leader with DWN, so we know they understand what our members are looking for.”
CMK Chartered Accountants will support DWN to deliver webinars and workshops to members, offering insights, tips and advice.
Andrew Darke, CMK principal says the organisation is ‘really happy’ to partner with DWN, and offer its members financial know-how and insights.
“We believe in stripping away the financial buzzwords and unnecessary complexity. It’s a particularly exciting connection for us as we’ll get to learn from DWN members too,” he says.
“We always hear about the strength of trusted advisors as part of the farming team and for us, as accountants, we’re right in there with you, walking alongside you in your farming business,” says John Dazley, CMK principal.
“We take pride in working closely with our clients, creating strong partnerships, to support them, build great teams and successful businesses. This seemed a natural partnership to enter, helping farming businesses to realise their potential.”
The partnership will come into effect on 1 October 2022, and webinars and events will be posted on the DWN website.
