Julie and Carl have provided tax update training seminars as well as presentations on legislation changes. Their presentation style is clear, relaxed and informal which encourages the participants to ask questions to further their learning. They provide concise handouts which are often referred back to by participants at a later date. Our firm is currently discussing with Brandt Segedin the topic of our next in house seminar.
Brandt Segedin is our preferred provider of independent tax advice and we have no hesitation in recommending them to other Accountancy firms.

I deal regularly with both principals in this limited partnership. They check my newsletter articles and I have referred one or two challenging cases to them.
I have been delighted with their service. Their responses come back quickly and I have a lot of confidence in their ability.
I am happy to recommend Brandt Segedin LP to my clients.

“At Gyde Wansbone we routinely refer our tax queries to Brandt Segedin. A quick phone call or email ensures a quick response with accurate, relevant and helpful advice. We rarely research tax issues ourselves – it is quicker and cheaper to call Brandt Segedin and we can be confident they will provide us with all the information we need, including recent developments. When doing our own research we cannot be sure we’ve found everything we need to consider. We enjoy our dealings with Carl and Julie – it’s great to be able to talk to someone you know and trust.
Carl Brandt has also led several in house tax training sessions for our team. We find this a useful and cost effective way of keeping the team up to date. There is no need for travel, the whole team hears the same discussion and can ask questions as they occur, and we can further develop our systems or workpapers as a result of our discussions. Carl’s presentations are interesting and understandable, tailored to the needs of our team.”

We have found Carl to be extremely practical in the way he thoroughly critiques the issues, but also can provide alternative options that could result in the desired outcome for our clients. His commercial approach gives us and our clients further peace of mind when dealing with the minefield of tax legislation and case law."

We never hesitate in contacting Carl for taxation advice. He is excellent in the way that he delivers the advice as it is always clear and rather than present us with a negative answer, he discusses options to try and achieve legally the result we and our client want.
He is readily available, even on his holidays. We rate him 10 out of 10 in his field. We are more than happy to answer questions of any prospective clients for Carl.

There’s nothing quite like having the comfort of giving advice to clients knowing that the advice has been scrutinised by experts. Carl and Julie provide clear, concise and practical expert taxation advice promptly and at a price that is value for money.
In addition, their in-house training sessions with our firm have meant that our accounting staff are kept up to date with recent developments and revision of those tricky accounting and taxation issues that we all face. They make learning easy and fun.
We thoroughly recommend Brandt Segedin as our firm’s choice of taxation consultants.
