I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Yatin Chadha on his Beyond MD Podcast. Yatin has been podcasting about finance for Canadian physicians for a number of years now. He has some real expert guests and grills them on the nitty-gritty of taxes, investing, and different financial instruments targeted at high-income professionals. In that vane, we had an in-depth conversation about the tax basics of incorporation. Click the image below for a link to the episode. We cover how professional corporations work and some of the nuts and bolts of how to use them efficiently.
