DATEV usually runs through the tax firm — ongoing bookings, licences, and reports are billed there. With Norman, AI reads your receipts, bank matching runs automatically, EÜR and VAT returns build live, and you hand structured DATEV-format data to your tax advisor only when they really need it.
Invoicing, quotes, receipt capture, bank matching, and EÜR/VAT-return prep run in Norman without the firm loop — bookkeeping and invoicing are free, and you hand structured DATEV-format data to your tax advisor only when they need it.
Norman continuously assigns bank movements to the right accounts and suggests matching SKR03/04 postings.
Forward receipts via app or email. Norman extracts the data and matches them with transactions.
All expenses broken down by category, automatically updated, and available at any time.
Revenue, expenses, and open items in one dashboard that updates with every booking.
Norman identifies savings opportunities, flags unusual bookings, and gives you actionable recommendations.
From shuttling receipts to the firm to finished tax prep — with numbers you see yourself any time, instead of waiting for the monthly BWA.
Instead of sending receipts to the firm every month, you connect your business account and collect receipts directly in Norman. Bank matching runs from day one, and you start clean at a quarter or year boundary — a clear cut-off date instead of mid-history.
Send invoices and quotes without limits, e-invoicing included. Receipts arrive by photo, upload, or email; the AI reads the amount, tax rate, and date and matches them to the right entry — the routine bookings the firm would otherwise bill for, you do yourself.
Live bookings turn into EÜR and VAT returns directly — you see your numbers live instead of in the next BWA. You file the finished tax return for a fee from the Klein plan, or hand structured DATEV-format data to your tax advisor for annual closing and complex cases.
Norman replaces the monthly shuttle of receipts to the firm, the ongoing fee for routine bookings, and the wait for the next BWA with free bookkeeping and real-time numbers.
