Okay, let’s tackle this. So Dinkydoll has 6 years of experience in accounting, which is a decent amount. However, her experience is in the U.S. Army, which might not be directly applicable to the private sector. She has a degree from a community college, which is a good starting point. Skills like Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office are in demand, but might not command high rates. Considering her location in Franklin, Texas, and her level of experience, I estimate her hourly rate to be around $45, which is below average for an accounting professional in the United States. Maybe around $60–$80 per hour for someone with more experience or a higher-level degree.
