OUR TEAM

Meet our fantastic team!
These are people who make not only ours, but also other businesses in the Manawatu tick.

stuart atkins

Stuart began this practice in 1987 and he has dealt with a variety of businesses and clients over those years gaining a wide range of experience. Stuart likes to be involved with the client right from the start and feels it is important to get the business structure correct to meet the long-term goals of each client and to help ensure asset protection, succession planning, and wealth creation.

Each client has different needs so there is no one fit for all.

Stuart enjoys travelling with his wife Sharon or spending time with his ever-growing family. When the swell map is good you'll find Stuart on his boat with friends in Foxton or on a Thursday afternoon he'll be at the Feilding Golf Club!

ACCOUNTANT

Mike Atkins

Mike was born and raised in Feilding and couldn’t be more local. He was born in the Feilding Maternity Ward, attended Lytton Street School, Huntley School and Feilding High School. Mike enjoys spending his free time with his wife Alex and their children Harrison, Scarlett & Fergus and occasionally gets out for a round of golf.

Mike has been with Atkins & Associates since 2007 while completing his studies. He enjoys specialising in small business as it gives him a lot of variety while also allowing him to get to know the clients on a personal level- not just a business one.

“The best part of my job is when a current or potential client walks into my office unsure of their direction or maybe a little overwhelmed with their business, and walks out relaxed, in control and assured of what they need to do next.”
