Chelsea, Cherry, and Veronica from TACA walking together
About TACA

Not your typical accounting firm. Ehara i te kaiwhakahaere putea noa.

A boutique chartered accounting team in Tauranga. People, partnership, and purpose, in that order.

Our story

Our story Tā Mātou Kōrero

At Town & Country Accountants, we are not your typical accounting firm. We are a boutique team of experienced accountants and advisors who believe great accounting is about more than numbers. It is about people, partnership, and purpose.

We combine decades of experience across audit, tax, and business advisory with a genuine passion for helping small and medium businesses across the Bay of Plenty grow. Our advice is tailored, transparent, and free of jargon. The aim is for you to leave every conversation with us understanding what is happening in your business and what to do next.

“Accounting for all lifestyles.”

That motto reflects who we are and who we work with. Startups, family businesses, tradespeople, rental property holders, charitable trusts, and established companies. Different shapes, different goals, the same standard of care.

Philosophy

Our Philosophy Ō Wairua Whakaaro

Our motto, “Accounting for all lifestyles”, reflects who we are and what we stand for. We welcome clients from diverse backgrounds: startups finding their feet, family businesses with multi-generational books, tradespeople running flat out, and established companies preparing for the next stage of growth.

We take the time to understand each client’s unique goals and challenges. That understanding is what turns generic accounting into advice that fits your situation, not someone else’s.

Promise

Our Promise Ō Kaupapa Whakatau

At Town & Country Accountants, you will never feel like just another file number.

We aim to make accounting easy, efficient, and empowering, so you can focus on running your business. We see ourselves as partners in your peace of mind, not distant accountants you only hear from at year end. When you call, you reach a senior member of the team who already knows your business.

Partnership

Our Partnership Ō Hononga Pakihi

We offer the expertise of a large firm with the personal touch of a boutique practice. Senior professionals are involved in your work directly, hands on, not behind a layer of juniors.

We prioritise long-term relationships over transactional engagements. Most of our clients have been with us for years, because the work compounds when your accountant actually knows your business, your industry, and where you are headed.
