Retail Flower Shop Financial Analysis

Job ID: 39120982

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I'm seeking a data analyst to examine two Excel sheets detailing the sales and expenses of my declining retail flower shop. The objective is to identify issues, operational inefficiencies, and potential solutions to restore profitability.

Key Tasks:
- Comprehensive analysis of sales and expense data
- Creation of new metrics to uncover hidden issues (find some ratios like sales to flower expenses, and other key ratios that might be helpful to trend and make sense of)
- Identification of operational inefficiencies

The ideal candidate should be skilled in data analysis, and have experience in identifying operational inefficiencies in a retail context. A background in pricing strategy analysis, market trend analysis, and sales forecasting would be beneficial. Please note, this project requires not just a pricing analysis, but a thorough examination of all data and trends.
