Howard Tanner, CPA

Howard had no regrets. The decision he’d made years ago got him noticed, which was vital when he was just starting out. It was a calling card–it still was.

He had no way of proving it, but he was convinced what he’d done had been instrumental in helping grow his business. He was sure he wouldn’t have been as successful had he not done it.

Still, there was a downside. Brenda wasn’t particularly fond of it, and his kids were mortified, especially now that they were teenagers. And he was almost certainly too old to pull it off at this point.

But there was no going back now. He was Howard Tanner: The Accountant With The Pink Mohawk, and he always would be.

At least until he retired. Then he’d be Howard Tanner: The Avid Fisherman With The Pink Mohawk.
