The money, trust, and people brain for companies that build in Israel and sell in dollars
Israeli startups raise in USD, sell into the US and EU, and run books in ILS at home. Fintra gives you multi-currency accounting, ASC 606 revenue, FP&A, the compliance frameworks buyers ask for, and a US-and-Israel cap table, in one AI finance system. We are honest about the two things we do not do yet: local Israeli payroll and a turnkey Privacy Protection Law pack.
Illustrative product view. Roadmap items are stated plainly, not shipped.
Built for how Israeli companies actually operate
The strongest Israeli companies share a shape: R&D and headcount in Israel, capital and customers in the US and EU. That means two currencies on the books, US GAAP for the board and investors, and a security posture that has to satisfy American and European buyers before a deal closes. Fintra was built for that shape, so finance, compliance, and equity live in one system instead of three tools stitched together at quarter-end.
- Defense and aerospace: programs with long timelines, milestone revenue, and buyers who demand a defensible control posture.
- Cybersecurity and AI: fast-scaling ARR, US-and-EU enterprise buyers, and AI systems that now need action-level governance of their own.
- Fintech: revenue recognition that has to be exact, plus PCI and SOC 2 pressure from the first enterprise contract.
- Biotech and pharma: grant and milestone funding, long horizons, and HIPAA exposure the moment US clinical or health data is involved.
Money in two currencies, reported the way your board expects
You keep books in ILS at home and report to investors in USD. Fintra runs each entity on its own books, translates foreign currencies into your reporting currency at period-end rates, and rolls entities up into one consolidated report. On top of that sits the serious-finance layer Israeli scaleups need: full ASC 606 revenue recognition, driver-based FP&A, and spend management, all posting into the same general ledger.
| Need | What Fintra does today |
|---|---|
| Two-currency books | ILS and USD accounting, with foreign entities translated into your reporting currency at period-end rates |
| USD reporting for the board | Consolidated reporting across a US parent and an Israeli subsidiary, run as a close per entity |
| Revenue | Full ASC 606 / IFRS 15: performance obligations, SSP allocation, and the deferred-revenue waterfall, posted to the GL |
| Planning | Driver-based budgeting, rolling forecasts, and budget-vs-actuals for a company that raises and spends in dollars |
| Spend | Expense management and spend controls across both entities |
The compliance frameworks that unlock US and EU deals
For an Israeli company, compliance is not paperwork. It is the gate on every American and European enterprise contract. Fintra ships the frameworks those buyers actually ask for, with evidence that recomputes from live system state rather than a screenshot from last quarter, and with AI Action Governance so the automated actions inside your finance and ops workflows are themselves governed.
| Framework | Status in Fintra |
|---|---|
| SOC 2 Type II | Supported, with recomputable evidence mapped to controls |
| ISO 27001 | Supported via the control library |
| GDPR | Supported, for your EU customers and data |
| HIPAA | Supported where US health data is in scope |
| PCI DSS | Supported where card data is in scope |
| AI Action Governance | Governs the automated actions inside your workflows, not just static controls |
One cap table across US investors and Israeli founders
This is where Fintra is genuinely strong for Israeli startups. A typical Israeli company has US venture investors, founders and early employees in Israel, and option grants that have to satisfy US 409A valuation and ASC 718 expensing at the same time. Fintra keeps that on one cap table, models dilution across rounds, runs total compensation, and connects headcount into the workforce graph so finance and people planning share the same numbers.
- US-and-Israel cap table on one system, with US investors and Israeli holders on the same record.
- 409A valuation support and ASC 718 stock-based compensation expensing that ties back to the ledger.
- Total compensation and equity dilution modeling for offers and refresh grants.
- Global hiring and a workforce graph, so a growing Israeli-and-US team is planned as one org, not two spreadsheets.
Why Fintra fits Israel’s strongest verticals
Defense, cyber, fintech, and biotech are the verticals where Fintra’s governance and compliance depth matter most, and they are exactly the verticals Israel leads in. These are companies where a buyer will not sign without evidence, where revenue recognition has to be defensible, and where AI is increasingly taking actions that need to be governed. That is the center of what Fintra does.

Frequently asked questions
Does Fintra run Israeli local payroll (Bituach Leumi, pension, keren hishtalmut, severance)?
Not yet, and we will say so plainly. Dedicated Israeli local payroll, including Bituach Leumi / National Insurance, pension, keren hishtalmut, and severance / pitzuim, is not built. It is on our roadmap and a design-partner track. Today you run Israeli payroll through your existing local provider and post the results into Fintra, where the cost lands in your ILS and consolidated books. US payroll is handled by Fintra directly.
Can Fintra report in both ILS and USD?
Yes. You keep books in ILS at home, and Fintra translates your Israeli entity into your reporting currency at period-end rates and consolidates it with your US parent for one USD board report. Multi-currency accounting and currency translation are real and shipped. Automatic intercompany elimination (auto-netting) is on the roadmap, so intercompany eliminations are recorded as adjusting entries during consolidation today.
Which compliance frameworks does Fintra support for selling into the US and EU?
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 (via the control library), and GDPR are supported, plus HIPAA and PCI DSS where US health or card data is in scope. Evidence recomputes from live system state rather than static screenshots, and AI Action Governance governs the automated actions inside your workflows. These are the frameworks American and European enterprise buyers most often ask an Israeli vendor for.
Do you support Israel’s Privacy Protection Law and Amendment 13?
Not as a turnkey pack, and we do not claim it as shipped. What is real today is that our control library can map to Amendment 13 as a custom framework, reusing the control evidence that already backs SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR, which gives you a readiness view. A turnkey Privacy Protection Law pack is on the roadmap.
Can Fintra manage a cap table with both US investors and Israeli holders?
Yes, and this is one of Fintra’s strongest fits for Israeli startups. US venture investors and Israeli founders and employees sit on one cap table, with 409A valuation support and ASC 718 stock-based compensation expensing that ties back to the ledger, plus dilution modeling and total compensation. The US-Israel equity split is treated as the default case, not an edge case.
Does Fintra consolidate a US parent and an Israeli subsidiary?
Yes. Fintra runs a close per entity, translates the Israeli subsidiary into your reporting currency, and produces a consolidated report. Currency translation is real. Automatic intercompany elimination is on the roadmap, so today intercompany balances are eliminated through adjusting entries during consolidation, each captured in the audit trail.
