Michael Mekhitarian


Michael Mekhitarian is passionate about business. And it doesn’t matter if your business employs three people … or twenty three people, Michael believes in the personal freedom you CAN achieve through small business success.

You could say he’s on a mission to make every small business owner a success story.

“I believe in opportunity, and the role that I can play in creating something bigger and better. I want my children and my grandchildren to live in a better place. I want my friends, family and clients to find  success.”

This philosophy ebbs through each and every interaction with his clients. Read more

Paul Rattray


Chartered Accountant and small business specialist Paul Rattray is very clear about why he does what he does at ATB Accountants.

“It’s pretty simple. I try to make people’s businesses better, so they can achieve the success they deserve. I like helping people, and I get great satisfaction from it.”

Relaxed and optimistic, Paul enjoys being around people – and working hard.

‘‘I like the team here at ATB … it’s a community, and community is so important to me. I try to be a better person each day. If I do that, people around me will be better.” Read more

Jim Vass


“I like to help people achieve what they believe is impossible … especially in small business. Too many people aren’t prepared to help other people succeed. I want to help.”

After leaving school, Jim enrolled in an accounting course, passed the exams without feeling challenged and in his own words:

“I realised accountancy was a great foundation for being able to go forward into any business you wanted…”

Jim studied in accountancy at university (where he met Paul) and graduated in 1989 … and he’s never looked back. Read more
