Capture receipts audit-proof
Incoming invoices, receipts, and e-invoices arrive by email, upload, or API, get timestamped on intake, and are stored as immutable records under §147 AO.
GoBD-compliant bookkeeping — no shoebox, no Word procedure doc
Norman archives receipts in an audit-proof way, logs every change with a timestamp, and delivers Z1/Z2/Z3 data access and DATEV exports for the German tax audit — bookkeeping, bank match, and VAT stay in the same system.
Built for businesses that have to live GoBD, not just sign it
Receipts, postings, payments, and tax data work together in one system — with timestamps, audit trail, and an export that German tax auditors recognise.
Automated bank categorization (SKR03/04)
Norman continuously assigns bank movements to the right accounts and suggests matching SKR03/04 postings.

How GoBD gets fulfilled day to day — with no extra workload
Norman builds the GoBD principles into the live bookkeeping flow instead of treating them as a separate compliance project.
Post entries completely and on time
Bank activity, invoices, and receipts get booked without silent overwrites — every change stays in the audit trail, fulfilling the traceability and immutability principles.
Data access and procedure doc
Z1/Z2/Z3 access is ready for the German tax audit — structured DATEV / IDEA-compatible export plus a procedure documentation that grows with your setup, exactly what auditors expect.
What Norman removes from GoBD compliance
Norman replaces paper archives, receipt hunts during tax audits, and Word procedure docs with one audit-proof workflow with timestamps and an audit trail.
Paper archives
for the 10-year retention period
Receipt hunts
when the tax audit asks for Z1/Z2/Z3
Word procedure docs
that never match the real process
Norman instead of paper folders and Excel bookkeeping
Receipt archive, audit trail, procedure documentation, and data access meet GoBD inside the live system — instead of being rebuilt from folders, Word files, and spreadsheets.
| Norman | Paper folders + Excel bookkeeping | |
|---|---|---|
| Receipt archive | Audit-proof, timestamped, original file kept | Paper in folders and PDFs in the inbox |
| Immutability & audit trail | Every change logged, nothing silently overwritten | Excel cells can be rewritten after the fact |
| Procedure documentation | Living document that grows with your Norman setup | One-shot Word file that's stale after six months |
| Z1/Z2/Z3 data access | Structured DATEV and IDEA export for the tax audit | Stacks of PDFs and last-minute Excel rebuilds |
