Balance sheet software for GmbH and UG. With the E-Bilanz via ELSTER.

The E-Bilanz reaches the tax office only through software with an ELSTER interface; the Mein ELSTER portal has no form for it. Norman builds the E-Bilanz from your books and files it in one click. Lexware Office and sevDesk hand the annual close to a tax firm.

Yes. The law does not require a tax advisor, only electronic filing (§ 5b EStG). With Norman you check the E-Bilanz with the ELSTER test preview and then file it directly, and you get the transmission report right away.

Bookkeeping in Norman is free. The balance sheet, P&L, E-Bilanz and all GmbH tax returns are included in the Max plan for €39 a month billed yearly, so €468 a year. At a tax advisor, the close of a small GmbH alone costs €512 to €2,048 net under the official fee schedule.

Yes. Every new GmbH and UG files its opening balance sheet as an E-Bilanz (§ 5b (1) sentence 4 EStG), then the balance sheet with the annual accounts every year. Norman builds the opening balance sheet from your formation data as soon as the tax number arrives.

Yes. A UG is a GmbH and always draws up balance sheets, even without revenue. The balance sheet and P&L go to the tax office as an E-Bilanz every year, together with the corporate and trade tax returns.

Together with the corporate tax return. Without a tax advisor that is 31 July of the following year (§ 149 (2) AO), so 31 July 2027 for the 2026 financial year.

Yes. Under Opening & migration you upload the balance carryforward, posting batches and trial balance from DATEV. Norman detects SKR03 or SKR04 and takes over the opening balances, then keeps booking automatically.

No. The E-Bilanz goes to the tax office, disclosure goes to the company register. Norman files the E-Bilanz and creates the condensed balance sheet as a PDF for disclosure.
