### What you can do
**Invoicing** — Create, send, and track invoices including recurring and ZUGFeRD e-invoices
**Bookkeeping** — Categorize transactions, match receipts, and verify entries
**Automation rules** — "Always book Telekom to Internet costs": preview, create, and manage rules that categorize matching transactions automatically
**Client Management** — Maintain your client database and contact details
**Tax Filing** — Generate Finanzamt previews, file VAT returns, and track deadlines
**Company Overview** — Check your balance, revenue, and financial health at a glance
**Company Formation** — Found a German **GmbH or UG**: collect the founders' data, check the name against the Handelsregister, generate the founding documents (Musterprotokoll, Gesellschafterliste), match with a notary, and track every step through to registration
**Documents** — Upload and attach receipts, invoices, and supporting files
Norman is built as a multi-market European accounting platform. Market-specific capabilities are added as Norman expands; current German coverage includes SKR03/SKR04, DATEV, ELSTER, ZUGFeRD, and GmbH/UG workflows.
<br/>
### 💬 Try asking
Once connected, talk to your books in plain language:
- *"Prepare and file my UStVA for last month."*
- *"Send a €1,200 invoice to ACME for consulting."*
- *"What did I spend on software this quarter?"*
- *"Find tax deductions I might have missed."*
- *"Which invoices are overdue? Send reminders."*
<br/>
### Interactive UI inside your AI assistant
Norman is more than a collection of background tools. In MCP Apps-compatible
ChatGPT and Claude clients, Norman can render focused accounting workspaces
directly inside the conversation. You can filter and inspect the underlying
data, move between related views, and use **Ask AI** to continue the discussion
with the current accounting context.
| Interactive workspace | Use case |
|:--|:--|
| **Document Review** | Review uploaded invoices and receipts, find documents that still need a transaction match, and inspect linked records. |
| **Reconciliation Cockpit** | Find transactions with missing documents, missing categories, or accounts from a previous SKR before month-end or year-end close. |
| **Ledger Explorer** | Browse the chart of accounts, inspect balances, and drill into the postings behind an account. |
| **Tax Preview & Submission** | Review the Finanzamt test PDF, tax lines, period, total, and readiness checks before filing. Submission is a separate explicit action and stays disabled until the user confirms the preview. |
Try prompts such as:
- *"Open my Document Review for the last 60 days."*
- *"Show my Reconciliation Cockpit and highlight missing documents or categories."*
- *"Open the Ledger Explorer and show the postings for account 1200."*
- *"Open my VAT return for July, generate the Finanzamt test preview, and explain anything I should review before submission."*
The Norman API remains the source of truth. Opening or filtering a workspace
does not change accounting data. Binding actions, including tax submission,
remain separate MCP tool calls with their normal confirmation and permission
checks. Clients without MCP Apps support receive the same underlying results as
structured or text tool output.
<br/>
### 🏢 Starting a company
Found a German **GmbH or UG (haftungsbeschränkt)** end-to-end — Norman collects the data, prepares the documents, and hands off to a notary:
- *"I want to start a GmbH in Berlin — walk me through it."*
- *"Found a UG for me and two co-founders, split the shares 60/40."*
- *"Is 'Wunderbar Robotics' still free in the Handelsregister?"*
- *"Reword my business purpose so it's ready for the register."*
- *"Generate the Musterprotokoll and find me a notary who does online notarization."*
- *"What's left before my company is officially registered?"*
> Choosing GmbH/UG also sets your Norman account to the corporate **SKR04** chart of accounts, so bookkeeping and taxes are ready from day one. The documents are drafts to prepare the notary appointment — not legal advice.
