Brent Atkinson

Brent Atkinson is that easy-going guy that lives down the street. The one that’s always there when you have a load of topsoil that needs unloading or a palette of sod that needs laying. He’s the sort of guy you just know you could trust to do your taxes. Which is fortunate for him because that’s exactly what Brent does for a living. Taxes, not topsoil and sod.

"I run my iPhone on T-Mobile so I haven't upgraded to the new one yet", he confessed with a sly grin.

He tells me he has about 200 private tax clients right now. Probably all friends of friends, I’d bet. And everyone of them would probably trust him to babysit the kids or borrow their Lexus too. But every morning, he still rides his bike to the train and stands at the end of the car for the ride to work at one of the large downtown firms. Or, as he jovially refers to them, “the man.”

No Brent, YOU are the man.
