Do you have a hobby/personal passion?  
When not spending time with my wife and 3 kids, I enjoy running.

What was the best advice you’ve ever received?  
I have received a lot of good advice, but something that sticks out is: the night before I started at Schneider Downs (my first job after college) my dad said to me “make sure that this is something that you enjoy, because you will be working for the next 40 years”

Who is your role model?
I have multiple role models. Nobody is perfect. I try to duplicate the positive attributes in people and learn from their flaws.

What was your childhood dream?
To be a trash man (the guy that rode on the back of the truck).

If you could go back in time, what advice would you give your college self? 
Invest in Facebook

People would be surprised to know that I…
Vended cotton candy and lemonade at Cleveland Indians games (1997 – 1999)

What is the best or most interesting thing about your career?   
I started my career (August 2001) at Schneider Downs and my parents have sent a cake to the office for my birthday every year.

What was your first job?   
I was on the maintenance crew and picked up trash at Blossom Music Center.

When you have an hour of free time, what do you like to do?  
Watch poker on TV and play poker if I can get more than an hour of free time.

Do you have advice for young professionals?
Meet as many people as you can and make connections. You never know where they will end up and what they will be doing in 10 to 15 years.

Big Problem: New Rules For Business Deductions.

Big Thinking: New Tax Planning Strategies To Save $300,000.

Shareholder EVAN OGRODNIK has been with Schneider Downs since 2005 and is one of our experts in tax compliance and planning, accounting, and financial reporting matters.
Evan’s team always worked closely with our clients’ accounting group and Schneider Downs‘ audit team. When the IRS changed the rules on the deductibility of repairs and maintenance versus capitalization of assets, a group of Schneider Downs’ tax specialists performed a deep-dive on the technical rules of this change to develop tax planning strategies for their clients.  In one particular instance, through extensive analysis of the client’s fixed asset ledgers as well as those of related-party commercial rental properties, we were able to find tax savings of approximately $300,000. “Communication with our clients is always critical,” Ogrodnik said. “Our understanding of new, complex regulations, knowledge of our client’s business and internal workings, and the trust the client had in our experts, allowed us to take advantage of tax rules and garner significant deductions.” Schneider Downs provides Big Thinking and Personal Focus in delivering a variety of services for large and small businesses, both publicly and privately held, as well as nonprofit organizations, government entities and more. Through our commitment to thought leadership and knowledge management, we deliver the solutions our clients need with a personal commitment to service.
