Yes, in practice. Filings themselves are submitted in Hebrew and official correspondence from the authorities arrives in Hebrew, but that is your accountant's side of the work. The advisory relationship, your reporting, and correspondence handled on your behalf can all be conducted in English.
Submissions to the Israeli tax authorities are made in Hebrew, and notices, assessments and queries arrive in Hebrew. Official deadlines run from the date those notices are issued — not from when they are understood — which is precisely why they need handling by someone who reads them immediately.
Everything facing you. Explaining what a notice says and what it requires, discussing a business decision before you make it, reviewing your figures, and preparing what you need to provide. None of that requires you to operate in Hebrew.
It is rarely the paperwork. It is decisions made without understanding the implications, because asking the question in a second language felt harder than proceeding. That gap costs far more than translation ever would.
Ask whether correspondence with the authorities will be handled for you, in what language you will receive explanations, and how quickly notices are dealt with once received. Those three answers matter more than fluency in the abstract.
