Let’s Talk Tax Planning: What is it and how will it change in 2021?

Arron Bennett, Owner of Bennett Financials, recently had the pleasure of speaking with Victoria Caldwell from The A-Players’ Podcast about tax planning for businesses and how they may be affected under the new Biden Administration.

In this podcast, he explains what tax planning actually is, when the best time is to start your business tax plan, and discusses what we know so far about Biden’s proposed tax changes and how it may affect your business.

Whether your business is new or has been around for a while, you’ll find value in this podcast. Arron shares his expertise on how to maximize cash flows, reduce tax liability, track and organize finances responsibly (and efficiently), along with many other valuable strategies.
