“The BCDO Business Helpdesk is your ONESTOP shop for financial, tax and legal advice” – Pria Sandhu

Integrated financial, tax and legal advice is vital to the success of Optometrists. Integrated advice helps ensure that the decisions you make are aligned with your financial and life goals. The struggle Optometrists often have throughout their career is trying to save for the future, while needing to spend money today. There are also insurance, investment, tax and legal considerations along the way. Overtime, the lack of integrated advice leads to money stress, confusion and financial losses.
