Okay, let’s tackle this. So Floyd has 27 years of experience in accounting, which is a solid foundation. However, his experience as a minister and self-employed individual may have impacted his earning potential. Considering his location in St Joseph, Missouri, the cost of living is relatively low. I’m going to take a conservative approach and estimate his hourly rate based on national averages for accountants with similar experience. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median hourly rate for accountants in the United States is around $25. However, this doesn’t account for Floyd’s additional skills and experience in leadership development and public speaking. Let’s add a 10-20% premium for those skills. This puts his estimated hourly rate at around $75, which is on the lower end of the scale but still reflects his value as a professional with a strong educational background and extensive experience.
