Adam greene
Director - BBS CA
Hi – I’m Adam, owner and director of Core Accountants Limited. I graduated from Massey University with a Bachelor of Business Studies and since then have worked closely with my clients to achieve their goals and improve their businesses.
I have an extensive background in taxation, business advisory, and accounting software. In the year 2011 I became a registered Chartered Accountant and in 2020 decided to open my practice here in the sunny Bay of Plenty.

We love to take advantage of all that Whakatane and surrounding areas have to offer. I am a keen hunter, and fisherman and try to get into the outdoors whenever I can sneak away. I am also a volunteer firefighter with the Whakatane Volunteer Fire Brigade.

Hi – I’m Kim. My husband John and I are both Whakatane born and bred and have been dairy farming in the area for 30 years. We have recently retired to a lifestyle block in Onepu which we are absolutely loving. We have two adult children and two young grandsons.
I have been with the firm for almost five years and I really enjoy working with our clients, getting to know their businesses and assisting where I can.
In our spare time we enjoy seeing New Zealand on our motorbike. We are also avid mountain bikers and water skiers.

Hi – I’m Niki and I grew up on a deer farm in Taupo and later attended the Christchurch College of Education where I obtained a Diploma in Business Studies. I joined what was formerly Rennie, Smart & Lee in May 2000 after having served in the Royal New Zealand Air Force. I have 20+ years’ experience in the accounting industry and enjoy interacting with clients on a day to day basis.
Life outside the office involves various sporting activities including adventure racing, hockey, horse riding, running and making the most of what the sunny Eastern Bay has to offer. I am a mother and wife, and love nothing more than spending time with my family.
Natalie
Accounting Technician
Hi – I’m Natalie. I became an Accounting Technician in February 2022. I have 7+ years experience in the accounting industry. I enjoy interacting with our clients and getting to know their business.
While I was at Trident High School, my favourite classes were Sewing Tech and Accounting. I studied and graduated with a Diploma in Fashion Design and worked in the sewing industry for a number of years. I found though, that accounting was the path that I wanted to take.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband Michael, our two beautiful young girls and family.
Nikki
Accountant
Hi – I’m Nikki,
Hailing from Wellington, I moved to Whakatane where I met my husband, Dave.
I have worked as a pharmacist for most of my life, but once I dipped my toes into the accounting world I knew that is what I wanted to do, and completed a Bachelor of Business Studies (Accounting) in 2023. I have been blessed to work with great people and the Core team is no exception
My free time is spent with my commitments to dog obedience and agility training, painting, friends & family, and taking whatever opportunities life brings.
