Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jared has a broad skill set in risk management, insurance, and financial analysis. He’s also got experience with Sarbanes Oxley Act, which is a high-demand area. Location is Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is a mid-sized city. Considering his skills and experience, I’d estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This is slightly below average for a risk management professional with his background, but it’s also a regional city. Some risk management professionals in bigger cities might charge $200-$250 per hour. However, considering the cost of living in Cedar Rapids, I think $125 is a reasonable estimate.
