Jerusalem Services & Professionals Accountants

The 6 Best Accountants in Jerusalem (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 6 picks

The best accounting firms in Jerusalem in 2026 include Dray & Dray, Amos Katz & Co. and EY Israel's Jerusalem office. Jerusalem's accounting market is shaped by two things the coastal cities have less of: a large olim population needing bilingual advice on the ten-year benefit, and a big non-profit and institutional sector. Below are six firms that cover both.

1. Dray & Dray (Dray & Natco) — Kanfei Nesharim

English- and French-speaking chartered accountants who specialise in olim.

Specialty Israeli accounting and tax, olim benefit planningLanguages English · French · HebrewBest for Olim, French-speaking arrivals, small and mid-sized businesses

Dray & Natco is a chartered accountancy firm headquartered on Kanfei Nesharim in Jerusalem with a further office in Tel Aviv, employing accountants, bookkeepers, and tax and legal advisers across a team of around 26 people.

Its defining feature is language and specialism together: the firm works in Hebrew, English and French, and it concentrates on the settlement and support of new immigrants, including the tax optimisation around the olim benefits. For a French-speaking oleh in particular, there are very few comparable options.

Good to know: Ask them to map your ten-year exemption in writing at the outset — it shapes every decision that follows.

2. Amos Katz & Co. CPA

One of the largest CPA practices in Jerusalem, with a broad in-house team.

Specialty Audit, accounting, tax and economic consultingLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Companies, institutions, non-profits, established businesses

Amos Katz & Co. is among the largest accounting offices in Jerusalem, staffed with CPAs, accountants, economists and bookkeepers.

The mix of disciplines in one office is what a growing business actually needs — audit and statutory work alongside the economic and advisory input that comes up around financing, restructuring or a sale. It is a substantial local firm rather than a boutique, with an English-language site.

Good to know: A good fit once you have outgrown a one-person bookkeeper but do not need a national firm.

3. EY Israel — Jerusalem

The country's largest firm, with a genuine Jerusalem branch.

Specialty Audit, tax, advisory and transaction servicesLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Larger companies, institutions, venture-backed businesses

Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, EY's Israeli member firm and the largest professional services practice in the country, is headquartered in Tel Aviv with branches including Jerusalem.

For a Jerusalem company that needs audited statements for investors, lenders or a public body, having a Big Four branch in the city rather than a two-hour round trip is a practical advantage. As always at this tier, it is the wrong scale for a freelancer.

Good to know: Confirm which office will hold the file — branch work is often partnered out of Tel Aviv.

4. Nimrod Yaron & Co.

An international tax boutique for residency, relocation and rulings.

Specialty International tax, residency and relocation, tax rulingsLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Olim with foreign assets, cross-border businesses, complex tax files

Nimrod Yaron & Co. is a specialist Israeli tax firm whose team spans CPAs, lawyers and economists, and includes former senior officials from the Israeli Tax Authority.

It handles the difficult end of the work rather than routine compliance — tax residency and relocation, cross-border structuring, advance rulings and disputes. For olim with assets or businesses abroad, that is often exactly the question, and it is worth taking to a specialist rather than a general practice.

Good to know: Take residency advice before your move date — several of the tests turn on facts you can still arrange.

5. Shtainmetz Aminoach & Co. (UHY Israel)

An Israeli firm inside an international network, with a Beit Shemesh office nearby.

Specialty Accounting, audit and international taxLanguages Hebrew · EnglishBest for Foreign-owned companies, SMEs, private clients in the Jerusalem corridor

Shtainmetz Aminoach & Co. is the UHY member firm in Israel, providing accounting, audit and tax services from offices in Tel Aviv, Haifa and Beit Shemesh.

For Jerusalem-area clients the Beit Shemesh office is the relevant one, and it puts a firm with an international network within easy reach of the Jerusalem corridor. Useful for foreign-owned Israeli companies and for private clients with obligations in more than one country.

Good to know: If you live between Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, ask which office is more convenient before you sign up.

6. CPA ASD

A smaller English-language practice for individuals and owner-managed businesses.

Specialty Accounting and tax for individuals and small businessesLanguages English · HebrewBest for Freelancers, self-employed, small companies

CPA ASD is an Israeli certified public accounting practice with an English-language service covering accounting, tax and business support.

Smaller practices of this kind are the natural home for the freelancer, the osek murshe and the small limited company — the clients for whom a large firm is both overpriced and inattentive. The thing to check is who personally handles your file and how quickly they respond in filing season.

Good to know: Ask about response times in the run-up to filing deadlines — that is when small practices are stretched.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an accountant as a salaried employee in Israel?

Usually not. Salaried employees have tax deducted at source and most never file an annual return. You may need one if you have income from more than one employer, foreign income, rental income, or if you are eligible for a refund — which a surprising number of people are and never claim.

What is the olim ten-year tax exemption?

New immigrants and returning senior residents generally receive a ten-year exemption from Israeli tax on foreign-source income, and from reporting it. The details, and the interaction with any obligations in your country of citizenship, are where the value and the risk both sit — which is why bilingual advice matters more than the headline.

Can I run a business in Israel without a company?

Yes. Many people operate as an osek patur (below the annual turnover threshold, no VAT charged) or an osek murshe (VAT registered). Both are simpler and cheaper to run than a limited company, and for most freelancers one of them is the right answer until profits justify incorporating.

Do Jerusalem accountants work in English?

Several do, and a few work in French as well. Given Jerusalem's demographics this is much easier to find here than in most Israeli cities. Confirm the language capability of the person actually handling your file rather than the firm as a whole.

How do I register as self-employed in Israel?

You register with the Tax Authority, VAT and Bituach Leumi, which is straightforward but easy to get subtly wrong — particularly the Bituach Leumi classification, which affects both what you pay and what you are entitled to. Most accountants will do the registrations as part of taking you on.
