Your accountant
Necessary, but six weeks late.
Tells you what March looked like — in May. Built for filings, not for tonight's restock decision.
Per month€120 – €300
Your Z-report says €1.847. Doesn't say what stayed after the cost of goods, the wages, the slice of rent. Type tonight's gross, tap your variable costs, let nouz handle the fixed slice — and see today's EBIT before you flip the closed sign.

The Z-report says €1.847,00. Cash matches card. Drawer's reconciled.
Did the cordless drills carry the day, or was it 28 small impulse buys? Which SKU just stocked out?
You don't know. Three weeks ago the screws supplier raised wholesale 3% across the line — your shelf prices didn't move, and you have no idea what that did to margin. The drill that was selling six a week last month sold two this week and you can't tell if the price-bump rumour spooked customers or it's just slow.
You'll find out roughly six weeks from now, when your accountant lands the quarterly. By then the next quarter has already started. By then the next quarter has already started. The screws have been bleeding the whole time. The drill is still on the shelf taking up space the seasonal lights should be on.
You lock up. The numbers you needed to make Monday's restock call were sitting in the POS the whole time. Just not in a form you could read in under an hour.
For an independent shop doing around €35k/month, here's where the margin quietly leaves the building. Each leak is one small thing. Each one is invisible until the quarterly lands.
~€8.000 sitting in SKUs that haven't moved in 60+ days. Cost-of-capital + shelf opportunity + eventual markdown — roughly €420/month on a €35k-revenue shop.
Wholesale up 3% on three categories. Shelf prices didn't move. Margin on those lines dropped a full 4 points before the next quarterly. Catch it in week one and you re-price or re-negotiate.
Top-10 SKUs running dry without an alert. Three stockout events a quarter on items that bring traders back. A €207 sale walks. Then it walks to the chain shop down the road.
Foot traffic shifted earlier in the season. You'd catch it in the week-on-week view on nouz. One extra body × 4 hours × 6 quiet Saturdays = €310 in wages on a slow shift.
— Illustrative figures, modelled from real retail-vertical patterns. Your version is probably worse on at least one row. nouz catches each of these the same week it happens.
You flip the closed sign. The till's reconciled. The shutter's halfway down.
Your phone is on the counter. It already says €614,80. Today's EBIT — net of cost of goods, wages, and a fair slice of rent. No spreadsheet. No "I'll look at it tomorrow." No "let me ask the accountant."
You walk home knowing what today earned. Tuesday's a question with an answer. Saturday's roster is built on what last Saturday actually did. Your accountant still files your books — but you stopped waiting on her to find out how the shop is doing.
That's the whole thing.
nouz is a daily P&L tracker, built for independent shopkeepers. You type tonight's gross from the Z-report in ten seconds, tap variable costs as the day happens, and your big fixed costs are already pro-rated into the day's slice. EBIT shows before you lock up. If you keep a SKU catalog with COGS in nouz, every product you log gives you margin too.
Not a replacement for your accountant — keep him. A replacement for the silence between his reports. The numbers a shop actually runs on: today's revenue, today's cost of goods, today's slice of rent — and the one number on top: did today pay.
Tonight's gross from your Z-report — typed in once, in 10 seconds. Cash and card split, VAT and card fees handled.
Cost of goods sold and the day's variable wages — tap them as you go, or log the lot at close-out. Categories live in your settings.
What stayed, after revenue minus expenses minus today's slice of your fixed costs. The one number on top — did today pay.
Month-to-date gross on top. Your week, day by day. Revenue, expenses, EBIT — all settled. Phone-sized, but you'll glance at the laptop on Sunday for the weekly view.
Monday to today · vs same days last week
Four interactions a day. Under a minute combined. Built to survive a chatty Saturday and a quiet Tuesday.
Coffee in hand. Seven day cards on the home screen, this week vs last. You know where you stand before you flip the open sign.
Phone behind the till. One swipe. Ahead of last Friday by €240 so far — feels like it'll be a good close.
Next batch of screws. Open Expenses, type the amount, tap the Fasteners category, save. Five seconds, no paper to file.
Open Revenue. Type today's gross from the till — cash and card split if you want. Tax and card fees handled. nouz adds today's slice of fixed costs and shows EBIT. Done.
Coffee in hand. Seven day cards in front of you, this week vs last. Saturdays drifting earlier in the season — decide on facts before you set Monday's roster.
Five honest alternatives. They all do something useful. None of them gives you today's EBIT, tonight. That's the gap nouz fills.
Your accountant still files your books. nouz fills the silence between his reports.
An accountant tells you what March looked like — in May. nouz tells you what Tuesday looked like — on Tuesday. Different jobs, both needed. He'll thank you for the cleaner data.
Add your three biggest fixed costs — rent, electricity, payroll baseline. Pick your VAT rate. Done. You'll close out tonight on nouz.
Ten seconds at close-out. No integration to set up, no connector to break, no IT call when your POS updates. Cash and card split if you want them tracked separately. Tax and card fees handled.
Hosted in Frankfurt. No data leaves the EU. Whatever you've entered is yours — cancel and we hand it back on request. Self-serve export is on the roadmap; until then a one-line email to support gets you a full dump within a working day.
One number per day. Green if you made money. Red if you didn't. The rest is one tap away if you want to know why. No charts of accounts. Nothing to learn.
Single till or three. Boutique, hardware, bookshop, optician, hobby store, gift shop. If you sign the lease cheque, this is for you. Multi-location supported — switch between sites from Settings; each location keeps its own daily P&L.
Contracts, multi-location, VAT, cancellation. The fine-print questions, answered without fine print.
No. Monthly billing, cancel any time from inside the app. No phone calls, no "retention specialist", no please-don't-go email.
Card at signup, charged monthly. Cancel mid-month and you're charged a pro-rata amount for the days you used.
Yes. Build a SKU catalog in nouz with name, gross price, VAT rate and COGS — margin % computes itself per product. When you log revenue, you can pick products from the catalog instead of typing a lump sum, and the daily margin reflects the mix.
If margin-per-SKU isn't your priority, the lump-sum revenue path works fine. Many shops start there and add the catalog later.
No. At close-out you type tonight's gross from your Z-report — ten seconds, one screen. Cash and card split if you want them tracked separately. VAT and card-fee handling built in.
No connector to set up, no integration that breaks when your POS updates, no IT support call at 9 p.m. on a Friday. Works with any till on the planet.
