Okay, let’s calculate Kelli’s rate. She has a Master’s degree in Finance from NYIT, which suggests she has advanced knowledge in finance. She also has 8 years of experience in financial analysis and planning, which indicates she’s proficient in her field. Financial analysts with similar experience and education can earn around $60-$100 per hour. However, considering her expertise in financial modeling and data analysis, I’d estimate her rate to be on the higher end of that range. Maybe around $75 per hour, which is slightly above average for a financial analyst with her experience and education.
