According to Tony Santiago, president of TaxTalent and TaxSearch, the survey reinforces the understanding for schools that their ultimate clients are the tax employers that hire graduates. "Schools need to recognize that their ultimate success as an institution and for the students they serve depends on how well they can align their programs with the needs and wants of tax employers," says Santiago.

Some of the top winners include:

• Golden Gate University, School of Taxation
• University of Texas - Austin, McCombs School of Business
• Brigham Young University, Marriott School of Management 
• University of Michigan, Ross College of Business
• New York University, School of Law
