INFOCUS PODCAST
TAX PLAN vs FINANCIAL PLAN
Recorded on April 4, 2024
In this episode of InFocus, Mike Gassewitz, CEO of TriCert Financial Group, and Gord Hardie, VP of Financial Planning at TriCert Private Wealth, discuss the distinction between a tax plan and a financial plan.
Tax plans, managed by accountants, aim to minimize yearly income taxes. They can range from simple strategies for employees to complex plans for business owners. On the other hand, financial plans are comprehensive documents outlining how individuals can achieve their short- and long-term financial goals, considering income, spending, savings, and lifestyle choices.
The conversation emphasizes the symbiotic relationship between a client’s tax and financial plans. It stresses the need for collaboration between financial advisors, accountants, and portfolio managers to ensure alignment between tax efficiency and goal achievement.
