Okay, let’s break it down. As a CPA, Andrew has a solid foundation in accounting and finance. His skills in financial analysis, auditing, and tax are in demand. Location is Baltimore, MD, which is a major hub for financial services. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants and auditors in the Baltimore area can earn around $80,000-$120,000 per year. Considering his certification and experience, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly below the national average for CPAs. However, this is a reasonable estimate given his skills and location.
