Okay, let’s tackle this. So Joseph Mendoza has a strong skillset in accounting and finance, with experience in auditing and financial reporting. He also has expertise in healthcare management and process improvement. Location is Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is a mid-sized city with a relatively lower cost of living. Considering his skills and experience, he could potentially charge higher rates in larger cities like New York or Los Angeles. However, based on national averages for accounting professionals with similar experience, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125. This is slightly below the national average for accountants with similar experience, but takes into account his location and industry focus.
