Hire the Best Web Scrapers
in the Netherlands

Need structured data extracted from the web, fast and clean? You're in the right place. Web scraping and data collection are my core specialty. I build targeted scrapers in Python using BeautifulSoup, Requests, and Selenium, handling pagination, anti-bot measures, dynamic content, and geocoding. Deliverables land in Excel, CSV, or JSON, clean and ready to use from the first row. By day I'm a Data Analyst at ABN AMRO Bank in the Netherlands, where precision and reliability aren't optional. I bring that same standard to every project. What I deliver: ✔ Web Scraping & Data Collection: websites, directories, marketplaces, portals, and APIs scraped at scale. Pagination, login walls, and JS-rendered pages handled. Output in your preferred format. ✔ Excel Automation & Reporting: advanced formulas, pivot tables, dynamic dashboards, and VBA/macro automation. Messy spreadsheets turned into decision-ready reports. ✔ Data Analysis & Dashboarding: trends and patterns surfaced using Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI, and Tableau. ✔ Data Cleaning & Quality Control: deduplication, normalization, formatting, and validation. Fast and detail-oriented. ✔ NL-Specific Tasks (Netherlands): based in the Netherlands, I also take on Dutch-language and local-market work: photo categorization and visual data tasks, market research and mystery shopping, localization and UX testing, and voice/audio tasks in Dutch. Past projects: scraped 4,400+ records with geocoding from live websites; built multi-source restaurant databases with interactive dashboards.

I am a finance and accounting professional with hands-on experience in accounting, bookkeeping, and tax compliance, with a particular focus on Dutch taxation. I have practical experience with Dutch taxation, particularly Dutch VAT (BTW) and corporate income tax. This includes VAT registrations, VAT returns, intra-EU transactions, and general compliance with Dutch tax rules. I am familiar with the requirements for Dutch corporate income tax and can assist with preparing supporting financial information and documentation. Furthermore, I work with personal income tax matters, including income reporting, deductions, and general compliance. I understand how personal and corporate tax situations interact, especially for entrepreneurs and internationally mobile individuals. I can handle end-to-end accounting tasks, including recording transactions, reconciling accounts, and preparing complete financial statements such as the balance sheet, profit and loss statement, and cash flow statement from raw financial data. I am comfortable working with structured and unstructured datasets and ensuring accuracy, consistency, and compliance with accounting standards. In addition to accounting, I provide reliable bookkeeping services. This includes day-to-day transaction processing, bank and credit card reconciliations, ledger maintenance, expense categorization, and periodic financial reporting. I focus on keeping records audit-ready and clearly organized so financial information can be used for decision-making, tax filings, or external reporting. In addition to finance and tax work, I provide web scraping services to collect, clean, and structure data from websites. I can extract large volumes of data for financial analysis, market research, pricing comparisons, lead generation, or internal reporting. The scraped data can be delivered in clean formats such as Excel, CSV, or databases, ready for analysis or integration into existing systems. I place strong emphasis on accuracy, data validation, and practical usability rather than raw data dumps. I am detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and focused on delivering accurate, compliant, and usable results. My goal is to reduce administrative burden for clients and provide clear, reliable outputs they can immediately work with.
