Melanie L.
Last position:
Freelance Copywriter at Self-employment as a freelance copywriter
A little about me: I have been self-employed as a freelance copywriter since January 2017 and have found my personal passion in this field. Before that, I already worked as a copywriter in a permanent position at an advertising agency, where I was responsible for writing copy for major clients such as Zalando and Otto.
The step into self-employment was primarily for my own growth, not least because of the constantly new challenges. Today, my range of services includes the following:
- SEO texts
- product descriptions and product texts (Google SEO, Amazon SEO, Amazon+)
- website texts and category texts
- classic advertising copy / PR
- flyers, catalogs and brochures
- blog posts and editorial articles
- metadata optimization
As part of regular training and through relevant specialist reading, I naturally keep up to date with industry developments (especially in the SEO field, and now also AI) — both with classic Google SEO and for specific platforms such as Amazon.
Past and current clients include, among others:
- Trusted Shops Magazine
- Fielmann AG
- KLUGO
- Pinkbus
- #sinob
- Eucerin
- Hess Klangkonzepte®
- DogUniversity
- Beauty Concept Shop
- SmartXplain (here, among others, copywriting in cooperation with REWE, BASF)
Billing is subject to VAT via tax number and invoice. As a rule, I work with my hourly rate; for recurring projects, fixed prices per text are also possible. Of course, we can also discuss this personally — either via direct messages here, by email, or by phone.
Even in times of artificial intelligence, my focus remains on my craft. I use AI as support for organization, but I do 100 percent of the copywriting myself.
I look forward to your inquiry!

About the technology
Lexware at a glance
Lexware is a German business software family for accounting, payroll, invoicing, merchandise management and financial administration. Products such as Lexware buchhaltung, Lexware lohn+gehalt and Lexware warenwirtschaft support small and mid-sized companies with recurring operational work. Specialists adapt the software to business processes, user roles and reporting needs.
Core products and workflows
Lexware covers different responsibilities rather than one single application. Experts work with:
- Financial accounting, bookings, tax reports and payment workflows
- Payroll preparation, employee records and recurring payroll runs
- Quotes, invoices, dunning processes and customer records
- Stock, purchasing, sales and merchandise management
- Year-end preparation and structured handover to tax professionals
Integrations and data
A successful Lexware setup depends on clean master data and reliable exchanges with surrounding systems. Professionals handle imports and exports, DATEV handover, bank connections, document workflows and links to e-commerce or CRM tools where the selected Lexware product supports them. They also define checks for duplicate records, posting errors and incomplete employee or customer data.
When companies need specialists
Companies often bring in freelance Lexware expertise during a software change, a new legal entity, a payroll transition or a period of rapid growth. Support is also useful when finance teams need to standardise processes, recover from inconsistent bookings or prepare for an audit. In Germany, specialists understand the practical expectations around German accounting and payroll workflows without replacing a tax advisor’s responsibility.
What strong professionals deliver
Strong Lexware professionals first clarify the product edition, company structure, fiscal processes and existing data. They document configuration choices, create repeatable workflows and test results with real business cases. Useful deliverables include a migration plan, booking logic, payroll checklists, role permissions, user guidance and a clear handover for internal teams or external tax offices.
Remote and on-site collaboration
Lexware work is often suitable for remote collaboration when secure access, sample data and decision-makers are available. On-site sessions can help when paper-based processes, local hardware, scanner setups or several departments must be reviewed together. A capable specialist communicates clearly with management, accounting staff, payroll teams and tax professionals, and knows when a question requires specialist tax advice.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about Lexware? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
Lexware is used by small and mid-sized businesses for accounting, invoicing, payroll, merchandise management and related administrative processes. The right product depends on the company’s workflows, users and reporting requirements.
Lexware is often chosen for practical business administration in smaller organisations, while DATEV is deeply established in cooperation with German tax offices and accounting practices. Cloud accounting tools may offer broader browser-based collaboration, so the best choice depends on data ownership, integrations, payroll needs and the existing finance setup.
A strong Lexware specialist should understand German bookkeeping workflows, DATEV data exchange, banking interfaces, payroll processes and structured data migration. Experience with Excel, document management, CRM or e-commerce integrations can also be valuable.
The required experience depends on the scope. A basic configuration may need focused product knowledge, while a migration, payroll rollout or multi-company setup calls for a professional who can map processes, validate data and coordinate with accounting and tax stakeholders.
Lexware projects can often be delivered remotely when secure access, test data and clear contacts are available. On-site work may help with process discovery, paper documents, local devices or training, especially when several teams need to adopt the new workflow.
Before starting with Lexware, document the products and editions in use, company structures, users, integrations, open issues and desired outcomes. Sample exports, anonymised records and access to the responsible finance contact help the specialist assess the work accurately.
Ask a Lexware professional to explain comparable implementations, data checks and handover methods in concrete terms. Quality is visible in careful discovery, documented configuration, test bookings, transparent limitations and guidance that internal users can follow.
Lexware includes products such as Lexware buchhaltung, Lexware lohn+gehalt and Lexware warenwirtschaft, with editions and functions suited to different business needs. A freelancer should confirm the exact product version, connected services and required modules before planning the work.
