Hire NormanFAQ
What is an AI employee for bookkeeping?
A software agent that does the bookkeeping work itself instead of handing you tools: Norman reads receipts, categorizes bank transactions, matches both, and prepares filings like the German VAT return. You see every step and approve every submission.
Is Norman a tax advisor?
No. Norman is software and does not replace tax advisory under the German Tax Advisory Act (StBerG). Norman keeps your books, prepares filings, and submits them via ELSTER after your approval. For individual advice you keep working with your Steuerberater — Norman hands over clean data via DATEV export.
Does Norman really file with the Finanzamt itself?
Yes. VAT returns (UStVA), EÜR, EC Sales Lists, and other declarations go directly to the tax office via the ELSTER interface — no ELSTER account or certificate needed. Nothing is submitted until you approve the preview.
How much does an AI employee cost?
The day-to-day work is free: receipts, bookkeeping, bank sync, and e-invoicing cost nothing. You pay only for filing with the Finanzamt — plans start at €9 per month and are tax-deductible.
Do I stay in control?
Yes. Norman works transparently: every booking is traceable, every filing has a preview, and nothing reaches the Finanzamt without your explicit approval.
