FAQ

What exactly is Norman?

Norman is an AI-powered accounting and tax platform built specifically for self-employed individuals and freelancers in Germany, fully in English. It automates your bookkeeping, creates tax declarations, and helps you maximize deductions.

Is the Free plan really free?

Yes. Bookkeeping, unlimited e-invoicing, bank sync, and AI Autopilot are free forever: no trial period, no expiry date. You only pay when you want to file tax returns directly with the Finanzamt.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. You sign up with just your email address and use the Free plan without any payment details. You only add a payment method when you upgrade to a paid plan.

Can I cancel or switch plans anytime?

Yes. You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time: the change takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Your data is yours and can be exported anytime.

How does Norman's pricing compare to lexoffice or sevDesk?

With Norman, complete bookkeeping is free. lexoffice starts at €7.90/month and sevDesk at €12.90/month; tax returns are not included. With Norman you only pay for tax filings: from €9/month including income tax (as of June 2026).

Is Norman tax-deductible?

Yes. As a self-employed professional you deduct Norman as a business expense: your effective price ends up well below the list price, depending on your tax rate.

Can I trust my data with Norman?

Your data security is our top priority. We are GDPR-compliant, hosted in Germany, and use bank-level encryption. We never share your data with third parties.
