UK-based accounting practice bk plus has appointed Jack Bonehill as head of employment tax, with responsibility for developing and leading the group’s new employment tax offering.
In his new role, Bonehill will help businesses report income tax, National Insurance, benefits and expenses to HMRC.
Access deeper industry intelligence
Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
His remit will include responding to individual queries and helping clients introduce processes to manage their tax risks.
He will also review staff payment arrangements to identify potential tax savings.
Bonehill said: “Employment tax touches every business with people working for it, but many only look at it when HMRC gets in touch or a deal is on the table.
“I want clients to get it right from the start, prevent future problems and take advantage of any potential savings. bk plus has a broad client base so I can add value in a lot of places.”
Bonehill has worked in employment tax throughout his career. He began at a boutique practice in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, where he spent 18 months.
He then worked at Dains for seven years and later moved to PKF Smith Cooper as employment tax director. He spent two and a half years at the company.
The appointment also adds to bk plus’ transactions offering as Bonehill will help to conduct employment tax due diligence for company clients acquiring new businesses.
bk plus advisory head Mark Parsons said: “Employment tax is a specialist area, and clients need advice from someone who deals with it every day.
“Jack is one of the best-known names in the field, and he brings real depth. His arrival lets us support clients with payroll risk, HMRC enquiries and due diligence under one roof.”
Earlier this month, bk plus acquired Sephton Accountants, an independent practice based in Marston Green, Solihull, West Midlands.
