Taxes and Financial Planning

Financial planning is the process of achieving one's financial goals and objectives in a step-by-step manner. Financial planning aids in the management of one's income, expenses, assets, and investments. It generates enough liquidity to cover short-term financial needs. Tax planning is one of the most important aspects of financial planning because it contributes to higher returns while lowering tax liability. Tax planning ensures financial growth for investors and assesses their financial situation from a tax standpoint.
