About Me
I bring structure to businesses, so you can focus on what you do best.
Denise Kriechbaumer
Founder, SmartOffice
I help small and medium-sized businesses build and streamline their office organization, Microsoft 365 setup and digital workflows. Whether it's office management, IT support or process automation - my goal is to make everyday work simpler, more structured and more reliable.
I work fully remote, in German or English, and support companies personally - no agency, no rotating points of contact.
Why I founded SmartOffice
The idea for SmartOffice wasn't born at a desk - it grew out of everyday work.
While working at a skilled trades business, I saw firsthand how missing structure makes everyday work harder than it needs to be. Documents were edited jointly out of a single OneDrive folder, with no permissions or protected areas in place. Many processes were entirely manual, templates differed from person to person, fixed processes barely existed, and everything was still handled on paper. It cost time every day and kept causing avoidable mistakes.
Instead of accepting that as normal, I started improving the structures step by step and digitizing everything. I rolled out Microsoft 365 with the right user licenses, set up a structured document filing system with access permissions, built consistent templates, and digitized recurring workflows. That made processes more traceable, more secure, and noticeably more efficient.
That's when it became clear to me that many small businesses face the exact same challenges. That's exactly how SmartOffice came about: I want to help businesses modernize their office organization, build digital structures, and simplify workflows for the long run - practical, easy to understand, and without unnecessary complexity.
Experience from the field
Before going self-employed in early 2026, I spent over eight years working in various commercial roles.
As an office manager at a skilled trades business in southern Germany, I was responsible for IT support, HR, finance, customer service and process design, among other things. I also gained experience in inside sales at LKQ STAHLGRUBER and in financial services, holding an IHK-certified qualification as an insurance clerk (Versicherungskauffrau).
My technical knowledge doesn't just come from training - it comes from daily hands-on practice. I know the challenges small businesses face, and I build solutions that hold up in everyday work.
How I work
Every business is different. That's why SmartOffice doesn't offer one-size-fits-all solutions.
I set up existing workflows in a technically sound way, automate recurring processes and build digital structures that fit your business.
I place a lot of value on clear communication, transparent collaboration and solutions that keep working long-term.
Collaboration happens fully remote and starts with a free 30-minute discovery call. You'll then receive an individual proposal with clearly defined deliverables and a transparent timeline.
