In this episode of Portfolio Pulse, host Steven Huskey sits down with Dr. Marcelo Hochman, founder of the Facial Plastic Surgery Center and president of IndeDocs, to discuss the monumental repeal of South Carolina's Certificate of Need (CON) law.

With the repeal, opportunities are emerging for independent physicians and investors alike to establish new practices and facilities without excessive regulatory barriers.

Employee retention is not just an auxiliary concern for business owners—it is a smart business strategy, too. By investing in your employees, you are directly impacting your bottom line and ensuring you have a satisfied workforce, who in turn will do better work. So, how can leaders make sure they are implementing the right kind of benefits to keep their staff around? Losing key employees can have a detrimental impact on the overall company culture and decrease productivity. That’s why savvy business owners are getting ahead of the problem by implementing smart retention strategies.
In our conversation with Alexis Gallati, owner of Cerebral Tax Advisors, she uncovered what makes using a physician-specific and small business-oriented tax planning strategy one of the most advantageous financial decisions you could make this year. She grew up in a family of physicians, as her father is a neurologist, and her husband is a neurosurgeon. She understands the tax exposure that only physicians with multiple sources of income face, and how small business owners have an advantage to different tax credits, deductions, and strategies based on how income is sourced. You'll be well educated in this episode of how Alexis and her team strive to create a white-glove experience for each and every client, as she only takes limited new clients each year. She's well versed in some of the solutions I also add as part of my planning practice, so she really knows her stuff!

Our guest today is renowned CPA Catherine Tindall of Dominion Enterprise Services. While she is skilled in numerous areas of tax planning, her firm has specialized in assisting business owners with the filing and determining the eligibility for the Employee Retention Credit. Eligible businesses can be rewarded with up to $26,000 in potential tax credit per employee retained during the pandemic and this payroll tax credit can create a massive one-time injection of cash for any business owner. Even if you believe you're not eligible because of what your current tax advisor told you, or if you already received PPP money, you could still be able to receive your credit. Catherine tells us how the process works, how beneficial this is for business owners, and why, as a planning firm, their sole focus is on helping business owners receive their credit, as it's their right if they were impacted by the pandemic negatively. Huskey Financial partners with leaders like Dominion, and we hope that you'll reach out after hearing how your business could be impacted!

On today's episode, we've invited Phyllis "PJ" Johnson to discuss her story on building a Crohns Colitis Foundation that helps patients seek integrated health services from clinics when they do not have the cash to pay for these specialized services themselves. We learn from her son's story, Dane Johnson, about his fight with Crohn's, how it almost killed him, and his determination to get up and fight this debilitating disease and how he uses his experience to help others to do the same. As a 501(c)3, she is helping clinics double their patient size and revenue by now being able to accept these cash-based patients through the use of her system, a medical Go Fund Me type site, where patients can accept grants from donations. Once they receive their debit card, they can then go get the services the patients desperately need to live and the clinics can now accept these patients. If you're a doctor that can handle these new patients, you should take advantage of today's episode and the links below!
