Just in time for the new year: new Business Coach podcast discusses tax planning

    TORONTO, Dec. 19 /CNW/ - Let's talk taxes. Or, more specifically, how
Canadians can pay less tax and build a bigger nest egg, faster. In the
Business Coach podcast available today, Peter Merrick, president of RRSP
Upgrade.com in Toronto, will join PROFIT editor Ian Portsmouth to provide
listeners with expertise on the subject of tax and retirement planning for
entrepreneurs. A professor at Ryerson University, a frequent media commentator
on wealth management for business owners, and the author of the Essential
Individual Pension Plan Handbook, Peter is not only a Certified Financial
Planner and Financial Management Advisor, but also a recipient of the
Fellowship of the Canadian Securities Institute, which is Canada's highest
honor in the financial services industry. This latest episode of the Business
Coach podcast will feature insight on tax minimization, tax saving
opportunities and advice on RRSP, IPP and RCA strategies.
    Rated as one of the top podcasts available for download during the run of
its first episode on Apple iTunes, the new Business Coach episodes offer new
insight and information in an updated format to help small business owners run
their business better. Since October of 2007 podcast episodes have been

Outlook," "Building an advisory board," "Family business," Personal finance,"
