Hillier Hopkins promotes Joel Harding to Partner
Congratulations go to Joel Harding who will officially become a member (Partner) of Hillier Hopkins LLP on 1 st April 2006.
Joel has been with Hillier Hopkins for 10 years and started in the audit team where he spent his first 3 years with the firm. He qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1998 and then in 2000 successfully completed his Chartered Institute of Tax exams to become a Chartered Tax Adviser.
Since then Joel has specialised in employee benefits and tax issues affecting contractors including IR35 and the settlements legislation. Joel believes that employee retention will become an increasingly important issue for small businesses in the future. Employee share option schemes can be a tax-efficient way to incentivise employees and from an employer's perspective, the schemes are very flexible so that the employer can determine who can be granted options and under which circumstances they can be exercised.
Joel says “I am relishing the challenge of my new role at Hillier Hopkins. The firm is ideally positioned to enable me to work on a variety of interesting clients whilst maintaining a family culture and encouraging its employees to have an active social life.”
Joel is a keen spectator of most sports and particularly enjoys watching cricket and Arsenal games. He is married to Lucy and has a son, Sam.
