Julie Segedin

Julie Segedin

Julie has lived and breathed taxation for just over 40 years, starting her tax career as a result of gaining an IRD scholarship to become a chartered accountant. She left IRD in 1994 as a Senior Investigating Accountant to join the tax team at Beattie Rickman in Hamilton which later merged with PwC where Julie became a Director in the tax division.

She left to set up a specialist tax practice in 2008. Since then she has focused almost exclusively on providing tax specialist advice to other accountants and lawyers of SMEs. Her comprehensive experience on both sides of the ‘tax fence’ combined with her technical dexterity and a flair for cracking puzzles enables Julie to provide practical and innovative solutions across a broad spectrum of tax issues facing the many accountants she works alongside.
