Okay, let’s tackle this. So Julian has 19 years of experience in finance, which is a significant amount of time. His skills include governance, financial management, analysis, and policy development, which are all in demand. He’s working in Canberra, which is a relatively small market. According to the Australian Government’s salary range for a Finance Officer, the starting salary is around $60,000. Considering Julian’s experience, I would estimate his hourly rate to be around $75, which is slightly above the starting salary range. This is a conservative estimate, but it takes into account his experience and skills.
