Okay, let’s break it down. Andrew has a strong skillset in accounting and auditing, which are in demand. He’s also a CPA, which is a respected certification. However, his experience and skills don’t seem to be in a highly specialized area like tax or forensic accounting. He’s based in Baltimore, which is a mid-sized market. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants and auditors in the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD metropolitan area have median salaries ranging from $60,000 to over $100,000. Considering his education and certification, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is on the lower end of the scale but still reflective of his skills and experience.
