Fredrikson & Byron tax attorney Masha M. Yevzelman has been awarded the Friend of the Profession Award by the Board of directors of the Minnesota Society of CPAs. Yevzelman will be recognized at the MNCPA annual meeting on August 11.
Yevzelman is celebrated as a non-CPA who provides exceptional support to the CPA profession, enabling CPAs to succeed professionally and the MNCPA to better serve its membership. Since 2015, she has spoken every year at one or more conferences and consistently scored 4.5 or higher. In 2020, she also helped facilitate the MNCPA’s partnership with Fredrikson, which resulted in a significant member benefit with a SALT webinar series.
Yevzelman represents public and private companies, trusts, estates and high-net-worth individuals in complex tax disputes. She has handled all stages of tax controversies – voluntary disclosures, audits, administrative appeals, tax court, district court and appellate litigation. Yevzelman’s experience includes resolving and litigating numerous types of tax disputes in a variety of industries, including retail, product distribution, manufacturing, financial services, insurance, computer software and hardware, energy, healthcare, telecommunications, hotel, aerospace/automotive, hotel, cooperatives, restaurants, entertainment and photographic equipment and supplies.
