KPMG Israel

KPMG Israel, operating locally as Somekh Chaikin, is the Israeli member firm of the global KPMG network. The local partnership traces its origins to 1922 and officially joined the global KPMG network in 1998. Headquartered in the Millennium Tower in Tel Aviv, the firm operates as a private partnership. The Israeli branch employs approximately 1,500 professionals. While fundamentally an accounting and advisory firm, its technology consulting division provides cybersecurity, data analytics, and IT transformation services to the local tech ecosystem.

The firm's core operations are divided into Audit, Tax, and Advisory. Within the Advisory practice, the technology group handles IT due diligence, cloud architecture consulting, and cybersecurity assessments. They serve financial institutions, government ministries, and technology companies ranging from early-stage startups to mature, publicly traded software firms. The firm frequently manages IPO readiness, financial structuring, and compliance audits—such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 readiness—for Israeli technology vendors.
