Okay, let’s tackle this. So Gerard has a broad set of skills, including accounting, auditing, and management consulting. However, his experience is mostly in operations and marketing, rather than high-level consulting. Location is Bellevue, Washington, which is a tech hub but not typically a hub for high-end consulting. His experience and skills are more aligned with mid-level management consulting or small business management. Considering this, I’ll estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is on the lower end of the management consulting spectrum.
