Slate is an invoicing and financial management platform for businesses operating in Israel. It handles invoices, receipts, customers and financial records, and it follows the Israeli tax and accounting rules those documents have to meet.

Freelancers, small businesses, licensed dealers and companies all issue invoices, and it should take a minute. Many Israeli businesses still do it in old desktop software, in spreadsheets, or in international tools that don't know Israeli VAT. Slate was built to replace those. It's a web app for day-to-day financial admin, and it handles the regulatory details as part of issuing each document.

Invoicing is built around the way Israeli businesses operate. Slate supports exempt dealers (*osek patur*), licensed dealers (*osek murshe*) and companies, and applies the VAT and invoicing rules each one is subject to. A business picks the document it needs and issues it.

Under the Israel Invoice reform, a qualifying tax invoice needs an allocation number (*mispar hakza'ah*) from the Israel Tax Authority. Slate requests it automatically as soon as the invoice is issued. The request runs in the background, so nobody has to ask for the number by hand for every invoice.

Records stay accurate because Slate builds them from what was issued, not from figures retyped by hand. Issued documents can be locked as permanent records, so an old invoice still reads the way it did the day it was sent, even after the business details change.

Slate exports Open Format, the standard file structure that Israeli accountants and the Tax Authority work with. It builds the INI and BKMVDATA files from data already in the system, so nothing gets typed in twice. It can also import Open Format files, so a business can bring its accounting history over from another system.

The interface is Hebrew first, right to left, with English for businesses and users who work that way. Screens are laid out so the next step is the obvious one, and nothing has to be learned twice.

Slate is for business owners who would rather run the business than do paperwork. Sending an invoice, updating a customer's details, issuing a receipt, preparing records for the accountant, confirming that an allocation number came back: each one should take as few steps as possible.

Slate was written for Israeli requirements from the start rather than adapted to them afterwards. Tax compliance, accounting standards, Hebrew and right-to-left layout sit in the product itself instead of being added on top.

Israeli tax rules, and the systems the Tax Authority uses to enforce them, keep changing. When a rule changes, Slate is updated, and the business keeps issuing invoices the same way it did yesterday. The repetitive steps are automated and the financial records stay in one place.

The aim is that the admin side of an Israeli business takes less time each month than it does now.

For the business owner, Slate is where invoices, receipts and customer records live. Behind that screen, it keeps the records accurate and meets the Israeli compliance requirements
