Frequently asked questions
The most common questions we get from prospective clients — grouped by topic.
General
+Where is your office and which regions do you serve?
Our office is located in Herzliya Pituach. We serve clients across Israel and internationally via video.
+How does the first meeting work?
A free 45-minute introductory meeting — in-person or via video. We map your situation, discuss options and follow up with a transparent proposal.
+In which languages do you work?
Hebrew and English, at full professional level — including reports, meetings and correspondence.
Fees
+How is pricing determined?
We prefer fixed-scope engagements. Fees are based on activity volume, complexity and required services. No billable-hour surprises.
Startups
+When should a startup engage a CPA?
Before incorporation. Structure, founders' equity, vesting and 83(b) elections all have long-term tax impact.
+Do you handle Israeli-Delaware Flips?
Yes — end-to-end, including the Israeli Pre-Ruling for tax-deferred share exchange.
Foreign companies
+Can you register a subsidiary and open a bank account for a foreign company?
Yes. Subsidiary registration is 3–5 business days; bank account opening for foreign-owned entities typically takes 4–8 weeks including KYC.
Individuals
+What are the tax benefits for new immigrants?
New immigrants and senior returning residents enjoy 10 years of exemption on foreign-source income and gains, and an exemption from reporting foreign assets.
Crypto & Web3
+Do you handle cryptocurrency and digital asset taxation?
Yes — this is a core specialization. We provide end-to-end expertise in cryptocurrency and digital asset taxation, navigating complex Web3 transactions, facilitating the repatriation of crypto funds into Israeli banks, and filing tailored compliance reports with the Tax Authority.
+How do I move crypto proceeds into an Israeli bank account?
We manage the full AML/KYC file end-to-end with Israeli banks — Source of Funds documentation, tax opinions, blockchain P&L reports and direct coordination with bank compliance departments, in strict alignment with Bank of Israel policy.
+When is a crypto transaction taxable in Israel?
Every sale, coin-to-coin swap, DeFi action, staking reward, NFT mint/sale or purchase-in-crypto is a taxable event. We build a full transaction ledger across exchanges and wallets (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, MetaMask), compute FIFO capital gains at the transaction-date FX, and file the correct return — plus Voluntary Disclosure where required.
+Can you obtain a Pre-Ruling for crypto activity?
Yes. For material or novel activity — trader vs. investor classification, DeFi yield, staking income, NFT royalties — we prepare and negotiate Pre-Rulings with the Israel Tax Authority to lock in certainty before you file.
