About me

I’m María Björg Ágústsdóttir. I run Multa Bene Agere, an independent consultancy. I help small businesses turn messy operations into clear, repeatable ways of working. The result is simpler workflows, clearer ownership, and routines that make follow-through easier.

My background spans finance, operations, and business development, including senior roles in regulated environments. I work best in environments where accuracy, documentation, and follow-through matter. I enjoy finding bottlenecks, clarifying responsibilities, and building simple structures that work in everyday operations.

When needed, I also translate and edit Icelandic and English business writing where tone and accuracy matter, from web content to internal documentation and reports. The goal is English that reads naturally and stays faithful to the Icelandic meaning.

Based in Iceland, working with clients locally and internationally. I take on short, focused engagements or ongoing support.
