Data Entry & Cleanup

I have a collection of customer and contact details locked away in a series of PDF scans. Your job is to turn those static pages into a clean, fully-formatted Excel spreadsheet that I can filter, sort, and update with ease. Every name, phone number, email address, and related note needs to be transcribed accurately, placed in the correct column, and formatted consistently (proper case, no extra spaces, valid email syntax, etc.).

Source material
• Around a few dozen multi-page PDFs created from scanned paper forms. Most are clear, though a handful may require light OCR correction.

What I expect as the finished file
• One master worksheet containing every contact, with headings we’ll finalise together (First Name, Last Name, Company, Phone, Email, Address, Notes, Date Added, and any others you spot).
• Built-in filtering and basic counts so I can quickly see totals—simple formulas like COUNT or COUNTA are fine.
• Obvious duplicates flagged in a separate tab for my review.
• No data loss: everything in the PDFs must be represented in the spreadsheet.

Timeline
Everything should be wrapped up within a month. I’m happy to check interim batches so you’re never blocked waiting for feedback.

Tools & accuracy
You may use Excel, Google Sheets, or your preferred OCR/data-capture software as long as the final deliverable is an .xlsx file. Accuracy and tidy formatting matter more than raw speed; please proof-read before handing it over.

If this sounds straightforward for you, let’s talk through sample pages and agree on the column structure so you can get started right away.
