About Agnes

Agnes Andersen

Agnes Andersen was born in Vienna and grew up in a large family. The diversity led to an inner urge to understand each other’s view of life. Her father managed the finance department of an international company and wrote novels. For many years, Agnes was able to observe how he managed the accounting department and how he was able to put his stories into a novel.

While Agnes found walls full of numbers and walls full of words in her father’s world, her mother taught her freedom on the back of a horse. The language between animal and human. Without words and with all her heart.

Then there were four siblings. The two older siblings awakened an irrepressible curiosity in her. She learned a lot about herself from the two younger ones. But even more from her sons!

Agnes Andersen has been self-employed in Austria and in England since 2015. Her projects in management consulting for finance and accounting revolve around software selection, optimization, standardization and digitization of processes.

In writing hours, her guests learn the steps that lead to a good text, an exciting story and an entire book. The focus is on optimizing processes in both accounting and writing, with the aim to achieve the desired goal.

In the thinking lessons, thinking models and life models are discussed.

Manage your accounting, write your story and think philosophically.

Accounting - Writing - Thinking

Agnes Andersen supports projects on the topics of accounting, writing and thinking.

She is a management consultant for finance and accounting, a self-employed accountant according to BiBuG (Account Act Austrian Law) and a qualified learning coach.

Accounting

The A and A of accounting optimises accounting processes.

Accounting projects revolve around software selection as well as the optimisation, standardisation and digitalisation of processes.

In the age of digitalisation and automation, the technology should work for us, not the other way around. The right results for the right decisions in the company. Up-to-date, correct and ready to hand.

Writing

The A and A of writing tells your stories.

In the writing lessons, you will learn the steps that lead to a good text, an exciting story and an entire book.

Focus on a significant change in your life and write a story and perhaps even a whole book.

Thinking

The A and A of thinking moves your life.

In the thinking lessons, I discuss and move through models of thinking and models of life. This is also based on insights from the history of philosophy, literature and current discourse.

Through my philosophy studies, I have realised how much structured and holistic thinking sharpens the focus on the essentials. In writing and in accounting, and above all in life

In our store, we still use a very old software for order processing with very limited functions.

For almost 2 years I have been looking for suitable software, which was not so easy, because on the one hand there are many things, but on the other hand it was difficult to find out what really fits for our small company.

That’s how I came to Mrs. Agnes Andersen via recommendation

Due to her deep experience in the field of accounting, gained over many years, she has also dealt intensively with software solutions for SMEs and was able to suggest suitable solutions to me very quickly.

Sie hat mich weiterhin bei der Definition der Anforderungen unterstützt, sowie bei der Einholung von She continued to assist me in defining the requirements, as well as in obtaining suitable offers, analyzing the offers and making decisions.

I will definitely include Ms Andersen in the implementation phase and phase II, which will then deal specifically with accounting processes.

Every beginning is difficult – including starting work with employees in an unsalaried association. So many voices, so many opinions and too little knowledge.

Agnes Andersen gave us great support! Careful, calm and always available for us – thank you for that!

Fixed costs versus variable costs:
Through flexibility at a reasonable price, Ms. Agnes Andersen enables us to outsource in the accounting area as well: an area one does not usually associate with variable costs.

The possibility of offsetting the hours actually worked is particularly important in start-ups, because it can de facto adapt proportional aliquots to business developments.

In addition, in Ms. Agnes Andersen we have a very competent contact person who is always available to help and advise us not only in the area of ​​accounting, but also in controlling and tax matters.
