For English speakers living in Israel
Israeli Accounting. In Plain English.
Israeli bookkeeping, tax filings, and business setup — explained clearly, and handled for you.
Israeli tax law doesn't come with an English translation, and most accountants don't either.
I handle the Israeli side of your finances from end to end — from opening the tax files you need and keeping your books current to tax filings, planning, and representation before the Israeli authorities when needed. If you already work with a U.S. tax professional, I coordinate directly with them so the Israeli and American sides stay aligned.
20 minutes. In English. Zero pressure.
Is this you?
Here's what you get to skip
You don't have to become fluent in Israeli tax bureaucracy.
You don't need to learn the language of Israeli tax administration. I translate the forms, letters, and requirements into clear English — and tell you what needs action now and what can wait.
You don't have to find out about problems after it's too late.
A missed deadline or a Hebrew letter from the Tax Authority can turn into unnecessary stress. I track the deadlines and read the letters for you, then tell you plainly what's actually urgent.
What's actually included
Bookkeeping & compliance, handled monthly
Your books stay current every month, not reconstructed in a panic at year-end, and your VAT and Tax Authority reports go out filed correctly and on time. You get an actual picture of where your business stands, not just a pile of receipts.
Refunds and tax planning, so you keep what's yours
Some English-speaking clients may be entitled to tax refunds without realizing it. I check proactively for potential refunds and planning opportunities, while also helping you avoid unnecessary overpayments.
Representation before the authorities
If the Israeli Tax Authority or Bituach Leumi contacts you, you don't have to navigate the system or respond alone. I communicate with the authorities, explain what is needed, and represent you when required.
U.S.–Israel tax coordination
I can review your U.S. tax documents for coordination purposes and communicate directly with your American tax professional. I handle the Israeli side, helping ensure that decisions made in one country are considered properly in the other. It's a level of cross-border coordination that many Israeli accounting firms don't provide.

How it works
What clients say
“I got a recommendation for Itamar from a close friend who used his services, and I'm extremely satisfied. He solved practical accounting problems I ran into as someone working from Israel for a non-Israeli business. I recommend him warmly.”
Nick Gold
English lawyer living in Israel
“I represent an international company here, working across different countries through some genuinely difficult periods. In every situation, Itamar had my back — total reliability, professionalism, and a real willingness to help. I even got back a tax refund I wasn't expecting.”
Eitan Kahan
Representative of an international company in Israel
“We've worked with Itamar and Shoshana for over two years now, and I feel we couldn't have found a better accountant. They're highly professional, quick, invested, and most importantly, available. It's a pleasure working with them — I recommend them.”
Menachem Wangsberg

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to open a tax file in Israel?
If you're earning self-employed or business income here, generally yes. Most salaried employees don't need to open one themselves. It depends on your specific situation — exactly the kind of thing we sort out on the free call.
Can you help if I already have a U.S. accountant?
Yes — that's actually the most common setup. I handle the Israeli side, and I'm glad to join a call with your U.S. accountant directly so the advice from both sides lines up.
Do you prepare U.S. tax returns?
No. I read your U.S. returns and coordinate with your American accountant on the Israeli side of things, but I don't prepare or file U.S. returns myself.
What should I bring to the first call?
Nothing specific. Bring whatever you already have — prior filings, business records, a letter from the Tax Authority — and we'll figure out together what's actually needed.
Can you help with letters from the Israeli tax authorities?
Yes. Reading a Tax Authority or Bituach Leumi letter, figuring out what's actually urgent, and responding on your behalf is one of the most common things I do.
How are your services priced?
It depends on your situation, business type, volume, and what you actually need. Figuring out the right scope and price is part of what we do on the free call, so you leave knowing exactly what it costs, not guessing.
