“We beat teams from UConn and UMass to win Boston’s regional competition,” says Ginger Wagner, assistant professor of accounting practice, who sponsored the team. “Every year, the judges comment about how much they love our school spirit! We always come with orange!”

According to the company, “Deloitte FanTAXtic is an interactive program, which includes case simulation, role playing and presentations that provide students with insights and perspectives on challenges facing the profession today, future trends that may impact it tomorrow and the overall changing business tax marketplace. Deloitte Tax professionals participate in the event and offer the students support and guidance throughout the competition.”

The Whitman Tax Team will attend the National Competition at Deloitte University in Westlake, Texas, just outside Dallas, Jan. 12-14, 2018.
