Niels Lasters

Freelance BI & Data Consultant for Finance Teams

I help finance teams transform their data into clear, reliable insights and automated reporting.

With a background in finance and several years of experience in data analysis, automation and business intelligence, I bridge the gap between business needs and technical solutions. I have worked in both operational finance roles and data-focused positions, allowing me to quickly understand financial processes and translate them into efficient data models and reporting solutions.

My expertise includes building robust data models, automating manual processes, and developing dashboards that support decision-making. I have hands-on experience with SQL, Power BI, Python and Excel/VBA, and I am comfortable working with multiple data sources and systems.

Typical projects I work on:

Building and improving BI/reporting environments

Automating financial processes and reporting

Data modeling and data quality improvements

Ad-hoc analysis and operational reporting

Supporting finance teams with scalable data solutions

I focus on delivering practical, maintainable solutions that reduce manual work and increase transparency in financial data.
