What you can do

Invoicing — Create, send, and track invoices including recurring and ZUGFeRD e-invoices

Bookkeeping — Categorize transactions, match receipts, and verify entries

Automation rules — "Always book Telekom to Internet costs": preview, create, and manage rules that categorize matching transactions automatically

Client Management — Maintain your client database and contact details

Tax Filing — Generate Finanzamt previews, file VAT returns, and track deadlines

Company Overview — Check your balance, revenue, and financial health at a glance

Company Formation — Found a German GmbH or UG: collect the founders' data, check the name against the Handelsregister, generate the founding documents (Musterprotokoll, Gesellschafterliste), match with a notary, and track every step through to registration

Documents — Upload and attach receipts, invoices, and supporting files

Norman is built as a multi-market European accounting platform. Market-specific capabilities are added as Norman expands; current German coverage includes SKR03/SKR04, DATEV, ELSTER, ZUGFeRD, and GmbH/UG workflows.

💬 Try asking

Once connected, talk to your books in plain language:

• "Prepare and file my UStVA for last month."
• "Send a €1,200 invoice to ACME for consulting."
• "What did I spend on software this quarter?"
• "Find tax deductions I might have missed."
• "Which invoices are overdue? Send reminders."

Interactive UI inside your AI assistant

Norman is more than a collection of background tools. In MCP Apps-compatible ChatGPT and Claude clients, Norman can render focused accounting workspaces directly inside the conversation. You can filter and inspect the underlying data, move between related views, and use Ask AI to continue the discussion with the current accounting context.

Try prompts such as:

• "Open my Document Review for the last 60 days."
• "Show my Reconciliation Cockpit and highlight missing documents or categories."
• "Open the Ledger Explorer and show the postings for account 1200."
• "Open my VAT return for July, generate the Finanzamt test preview, and explain anything I should review before submission."

The Norman API remains the source of truth. Opening or filtering a workspace does not change accounting data. Binding actions, including tax submission, remain separate MCP tool calls with their normal confirmation and permission checks. Clients without MCP Apps support receive the same underlying results as structured or text tool output.

🏢 Starting a company

Found a German GmbH or UG (haftungsbeschränkt) end-to-end — Norman collects the data, prepares the documents, and hands off to a notary:

• "I want to start a GmbH in Berlin — walk me through it."
• "Found a UG for me and two co-founders, split the shares 60/40."
• "Is 'Wunderbar Robotics' still free in the Handelsregister?"
• "Reword my business purpose so it's ready for the register."
• "Generate the Musterprotokoll and find me a notary who does online notarization."
• "What's left before my company is officially registered?"

Choosing GmbH/UG also sets your Norman account to the corporate SKR04 chart of accounts, so bookkeeping and taxes are ready from day one. The documents are drafts to prepare the notary appointment — not legal advice.
