Use case: freelancers, coaches & solo businesses

Owner, bookkeeper and debt collector in one person.

When you run a business alone, the admin piles up for the evening: writing invoices, chasing payments, e-invoicing rules, sorting receipts – all the things no client pays you for. Nori takes exactly that part off your plate, so you can get back to the work you were hired for.

Getting paid

Invoices that chase themselves

Nobody likes sending reminders – and between two appointments a solo simply forgets. Nori reminds your clients automatically, politely and on time, and shows you at a glance who is still open. The SEPA QR code on every invoice lets them pay in seconds.

Automatic payment reminders
Nori follows up in your name – staggered and friendly, without you keeping track of who is due when.
Paid in seconds
A SEPA QR code and payment link sit on every invoice. Your client scans, you get paid faster.
Open items at a glance
Who has paid, who has not? Instead of digging through your inbox, you see the status any time at a glance.

E-invoicing & compliance

E-invoicing without the tax jargon

ZUGfeRD, XRechnung, ebInterface, routing IDs – rules the big players keep a bookkeeper for. Nori generates the required formats automatically when you send, and files straight with the authorities on request. You click send, Nori knows the rest.

Required formats automatically
ZUGfeRD 2.3 and XRechnung for Germany, ebInterface 6.1 for Austria – generated on send and attached to the invoice. No wrangling XML.
Straight to the authorities
For public clients you file via routing ID or e-Rechnung.gv.at directly – no manual uploads on someone else's portal.
PDF and e-invoice in one email
Your client gets both in one clean email – a readable PDF and a machine-readable e-invoice. You click once.

The admin that otherwise eats your evening

When you work alone, there is no one to hand it to. Every proposal, every invoice, every receipt lands on your desk – often after hours, once the real work is long done. That is exactly where Nori steps in.

You do not rewrite recurring offers every time: save your services once and put a proposal together in minutes that clients accept online. For retainers and coaching packages, Nori sends the invoice automatically on the chosen cadence – so you never have to remember on the first of the month.

And the shoebox of receipts? Upload them one by one or in bulk, Nori reads the date, amount and vendor and matches them to the right payments. The step-by-step guide in the docs shows how quickly your first invoice is ready.

FAQ

Common questions from solo businesses

Yes. Nori submits your e-invoice as ebInterface directly to the federal government through the USP/BRZ web service (e-Rechnung.gv.at) – no manual upload, no fiddling with XML. One click on Send does it.
