Okay, let’s calculate this. Brian has a broad skill set that includes accounting, management, finance, and strategic planning. His certification as a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) from Arizona adds credibility. Location is Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is a mid-sized city with a relatively lower cost of living. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants in Oklahoma City (the closest major city) have median salaries around $60,000. Considering his skills and certification, I’d estimate Brian could charge around $125 per hour, which is slightly above the national average for accountants in the US.
