This combination allows students to expand their careers to positions in consulting, management, and other roles in the tax industry.

These expert practitioners remain up to date in their specialties in the face of constant change. Many MBT students bring years of professional work to the classroom, creating a unique educational environment where students learn not just from instructors but from each other.
