Introduction The moniker was given to me by a client several years ago when she was explaining to her young son "who Mommy is talking to on the phone". After explaining my idea for saving her a significant amount of tax dollars, she responded, "You are The Accounting Man!" My boss and associates have continued to use this phrase for me, especially when they want me to tackle a problem they do not wish to do (as in "but you are The Accounting Man"). I have always had a fascination for whales, particularly the Blue Whale. Here is the largest beast on Earth and its diet is mainly microscopic shrimp (krill). There is a majesty to these large animals.
