Current MBT Director Paul Gutterman has been an anchor in providing teaching excellence to the program. Just a few numbers indicating the program's success are:

  • There are over 1,000 alumni and students from 28 states and a dozen foreign countries
  • Eleven MBT graduates have become tax and accounting professors themselves
  • One graduate is a state senator and 18 graduates and students work for the Internal Revenue Service
  • Many others have achieved top positions as senior corporate tax executives and managing tax partners

In the Twin Cities, 22 of the top 25 public companies employ MBT graduates and students in their corporate tax departments. Of the top 25 CPA firms, 24 have MBT graduates and students in the tax department. Even the partner in charge of audit at one of the Big Four firms is an MBT graduate.
