Synopsis

Are You Ready to Get Blunt About Your Financial Affairs?

Mark Goodfield, a Chartered Professional Accountant, with over 25 years of tax and business experience, is the author behind the popular financial blog The Blunt Bean Counter - the 2014 Plutus Award Winner for best tax blog in Canada and the U.S.

Let's Get Blunt About Your Financial Affairs is a collection of Goodfield's best blog posts from The Blunt Bean Counter. You'll read about taxes, financial and money matters, and taboo subjects such as "stress-testing your spouse's financial readiness if you were to die suddenly", and "is it morbid or realistic to plan for an inheritance".

Along with his financial and business expertise, Goodfield's style is blunt, humourous, and often a bit sarcastic. Goodfield has organized his blog posts into chapter topics that "hit home" with readers and tackle hard-to-discuss issues, such as:

· Executors - A Thankless Job (except for the fees)
· Inheritances, Wills and Estates - Love, Money and Greed
· The Psychology of Money - Is it Everything?
· Audits and Being Audited - Minimizing the Damage
· Family Assets - Dividing, Sharing and Taxing
· Retirement - How to Avoid Eating Alpo
· The Family Cottage - How to Deal with It
· Proprietorships, Corporations, Holding Companies and Family Trusts - The Technical Stuff

Goodfield's combination of extensive tax knowledge and practical financial advice, make this book a must-read for those concerned about their financial and tax affairs.
