If you started a business here in Norway, one of the first things you should do is decide on an accounting software. There are lots of options - both Norwegian and foreign softwares.
If your company is Norwegian you should select a Norwegian accounting software. Why? Because foreign accounting softwares are not accomodated to Norwegian law and tax reporting, while Norwegian accounting softwares are built specifically to help you out with this. In addition, with Norwegian customer support we will be able to point you in the right direction should you have any questions regarding VAT and other taxes.
Don’t speak Norwegian that well yet? Select an accounting system that can help you in both Norwegian and English - like us! Our accounting system is build for Norwegian businesses, but we understand that not all company owners in Norway are fluent in Norwegian. That’s why we’ve translated our whole accounting system into English.

One of the first things you should do is register any bank accounts the company is going to use. Bank accounts must be in place before registering the opening balance, sending customer invoices, etc. If you do not have a business account yet, we recommend that you register one as soon as possible. You can register a business bank account with most banks in Norway.
Once you have your business bank account, you can register it in our accounting system under “Bank accounts”.
It’s a good idea to get started with the bank reconciliation soon after you’ve registered your company and you’ve started racking up some income or bills. A rule of thumb is to do this once a month. Adjust how frequently you do it based on how many transactions you have. If you have very few transactions, you can do it less often.
It’s required you register an opening balance if you have a new AS (“Aksjeselskap”) or want to switch from another accounting software. The opening balance shows the company’s equity, assets and liabilities at the accounting start date in our accounting system.
(Only relevant for companies that are registered in the VAT registry.)
By default, we have activated the most common VAT codes for you when you register your company. Edit the VAT settings if you can’t find the VAT code you need when registering a sale/purchase
