The 6 Best US Tax Accountants in Netanya (2026)

Updated July 2026 · 6 picks

The best US tax accountants serving Netanya in 2026 include Philip Stein & Associates, Eshel Marcovich Cohen and Bargev U.S. International Tax. Netanya's large olim population means a lot of residents still file American returns, and the Israeli olim exemption does nothing to reduce those obligations. Below are six firms covering Netanya and the central coast.

1. Philip Stein & Associates — Ramat Gan, Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh offices

The reference name in US tax for Americans in Israel, since 1979.

Specialty US individual and business tax, FBAR and FATCA, relocation planningLanguages English · HebrewBest for Olim, American expats, US-connected business owners

Philip Stein & Associates has handled US tax for Americans in Israel since 1979, from offices in Ramat Gan, Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh — the Ramat Gan office being the practical one for coastal clients.

The practice covers US individual and business returns, FBAR and FATCA reporting, and planning around relocation and Israeli income. Its scale means most permutations of the American-in-Israel file have come through before, which matters when your position involves an Israeli pension, a keren hishtalmut or an Israeli company.

Good to know: Speak to them before opening Israeli investment products — the US treatment is the binding constraint.

2. Eshel, Marcovich, Cohen CPAs

A US–Israeli firm that explicitly covers the Netanya and Herzliya area.

Specialty US and Israeli tax, accounting and financial servicesLanguages English · HebrewBest for American olim on the coast, dual filers, businesses with US ties

Eshel, Marcovich, Cohen is a CPA firm with offices in Tel Aviv and Haifa alongside a US presence, staffed by a team of US and Israeli tax professionals, and its service area explicitly includes Netanya and Herzliya.

Both sides of a dual filer's return inside one firm is the arrangement that avoids the most common and most expensive errors — a structure that is efficient in one country and punitive in the other. For coastal olim it is one of the more accessible options at that intersection.

Good to know: Ask them to review your Israeli savings products against US reporting rules in the first year, not the fifth.

3. Bargev U.S. International Tax

A focused boutique led by a CPA with 25+ years in US–Israeli tax.

Specialty US and international tax for expatriatesLanguages English · HebrewBest for American expats, olim, individuals and families

Bargev provides US and international tax services in Israel to American expatriates, led by Ofer Bargev, an American-Israeli CPA who has specialised in US–Israeli taxation for over 25 years.

It is a specialist boutique rather than a general accounting firm, which is what you want when the question is precisely how the two systems collide. Expect direct access to a senior person, better suited to individuals and families than to large corporate files.

Good to know: Raise any inheritance or foreign trust early — US reporting on those is unforgiving and easy to miss.

4. Dray & Dray (Dray & Natco)

English- and French-speaking accountants who know the olim benefits properly.

Specialty Israeli accounting and tax with olim benefit planningLanguages English · French · HebrewBest for Olim, French speakers, self-employed and small businesses

Dray & Natco is a chartered accountancy firm with offices in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, working in Hebrew, English and French, with a stated specialism in the rights granted to olim chadashim.

For Netanya this is a particularly relevant combination given how many local olim are French-speaking. Strictly the firm handles the Israeli half of a US person's problem rather than the American half — but it is the half most often handled badly, and pairing it with a US specialist is a common arrangement.

Good to know: If you keep a separate US preparer, put the two firms in contact — the gap between them is where problems grow.

5. MasAmerica

CPAs and US tax attorneys together — for files that have gone wrong.

Specialty US tax reporting, FBAR and FATCA, IRS representationLanguages English · HebrewBest for US citizens in Israel, non-compliance and dispute cases

MasAmerica describes itself as the Israeli centre for American tax, working from Tel Aviv with CPAs and experienced US tax attorneys, and covering the full range of US reporting including FBAR and FATCA plus IRS representation.

Having attorneys as well as accountants matters specifically once a file has moved beyond routine — years of non-filing, an IRS notice, or an active dispute. For a clean annual return it is more capability than you need.

Good to know: Mention any IRS correspondence at the first call — it changes which remedy is available.

6. Expat Tax CPAs

A remote-first option for simple American returns filed from Israel.

Specialty US expatriate tax returns and FBAR filingLanguages EnglishBest for Salaried Americans in Israel with straightforward filings

Expat Tax CPAs prepares US tax returns for Americans living abroad, including a practice dedicated to clients based in Israel.

The model is largely remote and priced for genuinely simple positions: employment income, a couple of accounts and an FBAR. Anyone with an Israeli company, Israeli investment products or unfiled back years should use one of the Israel-based specialists above.

Good to know: Fine for a clean file; switch firms the moment an Israeli company enters the picture.

Frequently asked questions

Do Americans in Netanya still file US tax returns?

Yes. The United States taxes citizens and green card holders on worldwide income regardless of residence, so an American in Netanya files annually on top of anything owed in Israel. In most cases the foreign earned income exclusion or foreign tax credits reduce the liability to nothing, but the return itself is still required.

What is FBAR and does my Israeli account count?

FBAR is the annual report of foreign financial accounts, filed to FinCEN separately from your tax return. It is triggered when the combined maximum balance of your non-US accounts passes $10,000 at any point in the year — which includes ordinary Israeli current accounts, savings and some pension products. Penalties for missing it are heavy relative to how simple the filing is.

Does the olim ten-year exemption cover US tax?

No, and this is the trap. The ten-year exemption is an Israeli benefit on foreign-source income only. Income exempt in Israel may still be fully taxable in the US, with no Israeli tax paid to claim as a credit against it. Coordinated advice on both sides is the point.

Are there French-speaking accountants for olim in Netanya?

Yes — Netanya's large French community is well served, and several Israeli firms work in French as well as English. If you are a French-speaking oleh who is also a US person, you need both capabilities, which narrows the field considerably; ask directly before engaging.

I have not filed US returns for years. What are my options?

This is common among olim and usually fixable. The IRS has operated streamlined filing procedures for taxpayers whose failure to file was non-wilful, allowing a limited number of back years to be filed without the usual penalties. Take advice on eligibility before filing anything, because the route you pick is hard to undo.
