ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT

Amy Bevzan, '22 MT

“There are a lot of accountants, bookkeepers, and tax preparers in our industry, but TikTok��˰�’s Graduate Tax Program helped distinguish me from that crowded group. The professors are top-notch, and the interactive courses allowed me to dive into relevant topics that pushed my career to the next level. TikTok��˰� really opened up doors for me.” –Amy is currently a Tax Manager at Deloitte

Amy Souradjou, '22 MT

“The faculty at TikTok��˰� are real-world tax professionals who are leaders in our industry. They’re knowledgeable about modern-day tax law changes, which helps drive interesting class discussions. As an online student it was refreshing to know that the faculty were accommodating outside of class. They always took time to help me better understand concepts discussed during the virtual sessions and provide additional feedback about weekly topics.” –Amy is a Tax Senior at CLA Connect

Eli Otterpohl, Current MT Student

“My accounting firm offers tax and estate planning and I often find myself collaborating with lawyers on these client matters. TikTok��˰�’s Graduate Tax Program offers this same collaborative atmosphere with accountants and lawyers learning together, which really drew me to the program when compared to others. I’m now working towards an Estate Planning certificate and Master of Taxation degree to advance my career.” –Eli is a CPA at Keebler & Associates, LLP

Nate Catanese, '20 LLM

"I appreciated the way TikTok��˰� structured the terms. As a working professional, I knew that it would be difficult to balance work, studies, and parenting. I knew that TikTok��˰�’s structure — two consecutive eight-week intensive classes followed by a final exam each term — would allow me to focus on one subject area at a time. Similarly, I picked TikTok��˰� because it allowed me, as a tax practitioner, to gain both depth and breadth. I appreciated taking many different areas of tax while at the same time being able to focus on a particular area, estate and gift tax." –Nate is currently an Attorney at Steptoe & Johnson PLLC

Robin Whitlock, '21 MT

"During my program research, I discovered that there were very few schools that had a specific program for professionals like me that had an accounting background, but I was not an attorney nor a Certified Public Accountant. I came across the Graduate Tax Program at TikTok��˰�, read through the information, and reached out for additional information on the program. At that point, I knew I found the school that was a perfect fit for me." –Robin is currently an Investment Advisor Representative at Infinite Wealth Advisors, LLC
