Set up clients & retainers
Define retainers, fixed-fee projects, and hourly rates once. Norman sends recurring invoices automatically and keeps open receivables visible.
Agency finance without a spreadsheet per project
Norman keeps retainers, project invoicing, freelancer receipts, and tax workflows in one system, whether you operate as a solo founder, a UG, or a GmbH.
Built for agencies juggling retainers, freelancers, and project costs
Invoices, receipts, banking, and tax data connect across clients and projects, instead of splitting across Excel, tools, and email threads.

What agency bookkeeping looks like with Norman
From the first retainer to the VAT return, everything stays in one workflow, across clients, projects, and legal forms.
Capture freelancer & project costs
Subcontractor bills, tool subscriptions, and travel land directly inside the project via email, upload, or Bill Pay, not in the founder's inbox.
VAT & handoff without sprinting
Revenue, input VAT, and project margins grow out of live bookkeeping. Your tax advisor and ELSTER get structured data instead of a receipt ZIP.
What Norman removes from agency admin
Norman replaces retainer copy-paste, freelancer receipts trapped in inboxes, and project margin tracked in Excel with one continuous workflow per client and project.
Retainer copy-paste
rebuilt each month per client
Freelancer inbox
with subcontractor bills and follow-ups
Project spreadsheets
for project margin and pass-through billing
Norman instead of Excel per client and a tool stack per project
Retainers, project costs, freelancer receipts, and tax data run in one workspace instead of splitting across spreadsheets, time-tracker exports, and email threads.
| Excel + a tool stack per project | |
|---|---|---|
| Retainer invoices | Recurring per client, sent automatically | Word template and manual sending on the first of the month |
| Freelancers & subcontractors | Bills land directly in the project with Bill Pay approval | PDFs in the founder's inbox, paid via online banking |
| Project margin | Live from revenue, sub-costs, and tool subs per project | Pulled together quarterly from time-tracker and Excel |
| VAT & advisor handoff | Structured exports from live bookkeeping | ZIP with receipts, a spreadsheet, and follow-ups by email |
