Fahn Kanne

What Fahn Kanne does

Fahn Kanne is an Israeli registered partnership operating under the Grant Thornton Israel brand and providing multi-disciplinary accounting, tax, advisory, and consulting services. The firm delivers its offering through ten interlinked service lines: Auditing and Accounting, Control Management (internal audit, SOX, forensic audit, IS audit/cyber, SOC reporting, GDPR/CCPA), Economic and Business Consulting (M&A advisory, valuations, due diligence, recovery and reorganization, litigation support), Israeli and International Taxation, GT AI Technologies, Trust Management and Supervision, Outsourcing (bookkeeping and payroll), Financial Management and Credit Raising, Corporate Social Responsibility/ESG, and Cyprus Business Services. It is not a software product but a partner-led professional services practice.

The firm serves a diversified client base spanning public and private companies, government entities, non-profit organizations, and startups across seven primary verticals: Hi-Tech and Life Sciences, Government and Public Sector, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency, Non-Profit, Real Estate and Construction, the Diamond Industry, and Public Companies listed on Israeli and international exchanges. Notable client relationships include the Israel Diamond Institute, the Diamond Museum, the Diamond Technology Institute, and serves as an approved accountant for DeBeers and Alrosa with over 100 diamond industry clients, while also advising large enterprises with annual turnover exceeding NIS 1 billion.

Fahn Kanne operates from eight offices across Israel (Tel Aviv headquarters, Jerusalem, Haifa, Kibbutz Hagoshrim, Rosh Pina, Beer Sheva, Midreshet Ben Gurion, Eilat), employing over 400 staff including 35 partners. Its business model is traditional professional services: time-and-engagement-based fees for audit, tax, and advisory work, delivered through direct enterprise sales via partner-led relationships. The firm monetizes through four core revenue streams - Audit and Accounting, Tax Advisory, Control and Advisory, and Economic and Business Consulting - with growth being driven by service-line extension (GT AI, Good Vision ESG), partner-led geographic consolidation, and tuck-in mergers of smaller Israeli accounting firms.
