Summary
I need a developer to build a lean but high-quality automated financial analysis system integrated with ChatGPT/OpenAI for my businesses.

Goal:
Create an automated system that pulls business data, analyzes margins by product/service, forecasts profit after expenses, identifies hidden opportunities to increase profit, and allows me to ask plain-English business questions directly through ChatGPT/OpenAI such as:

“If I raise tax returns by $5, how much additional annual net profit will I make after expenses?”

I also want the system to identify low-risk or less noticeable opportunities to increase pricing and profit margins without significantly impacting customer retention.

Examples:

* Small product/service price increases
* Premium add-on opportunities
* Underpriced services
* Fee adjustments
* Renewal pricing opportunities
* Areas with low customer price sensitivity
* Services with high demand and low competition
* Hidden profit leakage and unnecessary expenses

Main systems:

* QuickBooks Online
* ChatGPT / OpenAI API
* EZRentOut
* PictaMail
* MyTaxPrepOffice
* USPS Business Customer Gateway / USPS APIs

Important:
QuickBooks should be the financial source of truth. Other systems should provide operational data such as volume, renewals, customer activity, rentals, tax return counts, postage/shipping activity, and service usage.

Required MVP features:

* Connect to QuickBooks Online API
* Pull revenue, expenses, products/services, customers, liabilities, and credit card debt
* Run scheduled automated syncs, preferably nightly
* Calculate product/service-level revenue, margin, expenses, and estimated net profit
* Identify hidden pricing and profit optimization opportunities
* Allow plain-English business questions through ChatGPT/OpenAI
* Support pricing scenarios such as:
“If I raise tax returns by $5, what is the annual net profit increase?”
“Which products can I raise prices on with the lowest customer impact?”
“What pricing changes get me to a target annual profit?”
* Basic forecasting for revenue, expenses, debt payments, and net profit
* Simple output format: ChatGPT interface, Google Sheet, email report, or very basic web page
* Clean documentation so another developer can maintain it later

Preferred tech:

* Python
* QuickBooks Online API / OAuth 2.0
* OpenAI API / ChatGPT integrations
* Zapier or Make if it reduces cost
* PostgreSQL, Supabase, or Google Sheets as the database/output layer

Budget:
$1,500 to $3,000 for the MVP depending on experience and scope.

Please do not propose a large SaaS app, mobile app, or expensive custom dashboard. I want the cheapest high-quality automated MVP first.
