How finance work starts for founders with Norman
Norman sets up the foundations before your first fiscal year — and scales with you when founding turns into running.
Run
Send your first invoice, collect founding costs and receipts inside one system instead of Excel templates and email attachments.
Grow with it
When VAT returns, EÜR, or the switch to a UG come up, the data and workflows are already there — no tool migration, no advisor follow-ups.

What Norman removes from your founding weeks
Norman replaces Excel templates, no-workflow waiting, and advisor ping-pong with bookkeeping that runs from day one.
Setup-limbo weeks
spent waiting on tax numbers and account approvals
Excel templates
for invoices, EÜR, and VAT returns
Advisor ping-pong
before legal form and small-business decisions
Norman instead of DIY Excel or a day-one tax advisor
Invoicing, bookkeeping, and tax setup run from one system instead of Word templates, spreadsheets, or an advisor file you cannot read yourself.
| Norman | DIY Excel or a day-one tax firm | |
|---|---|---|
| First invoice | Compliant immediately, VAT logic per legal form | Tweak a Word template or wait for the firm |
| Founding costs & receipts | Captured from day one and sorted for deductibility | Pile up in email and drawers until the first EÜR |
| Tax setup | Small-business or standard VAT toggled in the workflow | Advisor calls and a separate spreadsheet tab per option |
| Switch to GmbH/UG | Norman grows with you — no tool migration | Migrate data from DIY or the firm after the fact |
