About me

You're done.

You’re done not knowing what’s going on in your spreadsheets.

Done being the human glue that holds a barely-working system together.

Done holding it all up with copy-paste and crossed fingers.

You want clarity.

Structure.

Calm.

Control.

That’s why Officebird exists.

To show you how to

  • make spreadsheets work for you,
  • ease your day,
  • increase transparency and control. 

I learned the advantages of advanced formulas early on, during my studies to become a supply chain manager.

But it wasn't until years later when I understood how little I utilized the capabilities of my spreadsheets. 

You want to unlock the full potential of spreadsheets?

One day I received a call: 

"Sara, I need help with a spreadsheet!"

That help was desperately needed. 

Chaos.

Pure mess. 

I turned it around. 

Transformed it into a system that the whole company is operating on. 

Standardized layouts and operating procedures paired with

  • advanced formulas and color coding,
  • Apps Script to automate and
  • connect to other tools via webhooks and API calls.

4 years later the company got acquired by a bigger fish because of the efficient and streamlined processes.

By then, the manual work in the process was reduced to a minimum and the team loved me for turning their "wouldn't it be nice if.." into reality. 

Now to you

Throughout the years I saw it day in day out: People work as the human glue in between, trying relentlessly to do things right, keeping afloat in chaos.

Do you relate?

While systems like the above aren't built over night, you can start in this moment to make spreadsheets your secret weapon, your team member of the month, your favorite assistant. 

This formula is the framework on which I operate since years.

It's the groundwork to build smart systems, to let spreadsheets work for you, and to throw busywork over board.

Who writes here?

Heya, my name is Sara Krause. I am a hands-on system builder and spreadsheet advocate helping small and medium-sized businesses streamline their digital operations - and empower their teams to do the same.

My playground? The messy middle:

  • Creative teams scaling too fast for structure.
  • Startups duct-taping their backend together.
  • Teams sprinting in circles - drowning in tabs, Slack and stress. 
  • "That's how we have always done it"? - Not my thing.

    I'm here for: "This may sound crazy, but hear me out...".

    Born and raised in Germany, I am wired for structure, logic and efficiency. 

    But after more than six years in the US startup jungle, I've mastered the art of moving fast, thinking bold, and fixing broken things before they catch fire.

    German precision meets American momentum.

    The result?

    Systems people actually use - and thrive in.

    Let's go,

    Sara
