When it comes to payroll management, accuracy and availability are critical. Ben Or Kook offers:

• Periodic reporting — tax authority deposits, national insurance reporting, pension statement, and education fund reports.
• Personalized service — tailored to your business needs, not a one-size-fits-all service.

Ben Or Kook prevents these issues through accurate and proactive management.

Who Needs a Payroll Accountant?

Every employer in Israel who employs workers needs the services of a payroll accountant or at least professional consultation on the subject. This includes:

• Exempt businesses — business owners with non-family employees. Even if you are an exempt business from income tax, you are still required to report employee wages and national insurance.
• Licensed businesses — businesses subject to income tax reporting and required to maintain proper payroll records.
• Company owners — companies require full payroll management, financial statements, and audit reports.
• Associations and non-profit organizations — associations are required to maintain proper payroll records and report to authorities.
• Startups and e-commerce businesses — growing businesses that need accurate and digital payroll services.

If you employ even a single worker — whether permanent, part-time, or temporary — you are required to maintain proper payroll records. Improper management can result in significant penalties, interest, and back taxes from the tax authority and national insurance.

Payroll Accounting Service Costs

The cost of payroll accounting services depends on several factors: the number of employees, the frequency of payroll data changes, the complexity of calculations (for example, returning employees, variable salary, special benefits) and the scope of reporting. Typically:

• Self-employed with one employee — relatively low monthly cost, with additional annual costs for pension report and annual report.
• Self-employed with 2–5 employees — moderate cost, depending on complexity.
• Ltd. company or nonprofit organization — higher cost, due to financial statements and audit.

We believe in transparency. At the first consultation meeting, we will offer you a clear price with no surprises. We have no hidden costs. If you want to know the estimated cost for your business, contact Ben Or Kook for a free consultation meeting.

Costs and Risks of Improper Payroll Management

If you manage payroll yourself or through an unprofessional provider, you may encounter many problems:

• Calculation errors — missing or excessive deductions, interest and penalties from the tax authority.
• Late reporting — late reports to the tax authority and national insurance incur penalties and interest.
• Non-compliance with legislation — changes in wage laws, national insurance deductions and reporting requirements are frequent. An unprofessional provider may miss updates.
• Legal issues — an employee who did not receive a correct payslip or incorrect deductions can file a complaint with the authorities or bring a lawsuit.
• Wasted time — payroll management requires significant time. This time could be used to develop your business.

Ben Or Kook prevents all these problems through professional management, timely reporting and regular legislative updates.

Frequently Asked Questions About a Payroll Accountant

Below are answers to frequently asked questions:

1. Am I required to work with a payroll accountant?
There is no legal obligation, but it is highly recommended. If you employ employees, you must maintain proper payroll records, calculate deductions correctly and report to the authorities. Improper management can result in fines and interest. A professional payroll accountant will save you time, money and trouble.

2. What is the difference between a exempt self-employed and an authorized self-employed person regarding payroll?
An exempt self-employed person is exempt from income tax on their business income, but must still report employee wages and national insurance. An authorized self-employed person must report their income and employee wages. In both cases, proper payroll management is mandatory.

3. How many employees do I need before I need a payroll accountant?
Even one employee requires proper payroll management. If you employ even a temporary or part-time employee, you must report it. A payroll accountant can help even if you have only one employee.

Yes, we offer a complete digital service. Shared digital folder, digital payslips and communication through platform or phone. You don't need to visit the office frequently.
