Do I need an Israeli accountant if my company is registered abroad?

Registration abroad does not by itself remove an Israeli obligation. What matters is where the company actually operates and where it is managed and controlled. If activity, staff or decision-making sit in Israel, an Israeli filing obligation can arise regardless of where the entity was incorporated.

I am an Israeli resident with a company registered overseas. Does that work?

It depends entirely on where the company is managed and where it operates. Israeli residency of the owner is a relevant factor but not the only one.

Does a treaty between Israel and my country solve this?

Tax treaties allocate taxing rights and can prevent the same income being taxed twice, but they do not remove filing obligations by themselves.

What if I only have a few Israeli clients?

Occasional sales and sustained structured activity are treated differently. The distinction is factual and worth checking rather than assuming.
