Managing Your Finances as a Freelancer
Mohammed Asaduallah
Co-founder & CEO, Benji
Managing your finances as a freelancer can feel like an overwhelming task. Is it 30% of your income that you’re supposed to put aside for taxes? How much GST/HST do you collect if a client is in another province? Should you put money into an RRSP, TFSA, and what’s a HISA? Mohammed will go through each of these questions (and more!) to ensure you’re able to make better financial decisions in your freelance journey.
