Okay, let’s tackle this. So Kelly has skills in payroll, financial reporting, and accounting. These are in-demand skills, especially in the US. According to national averages, accounting professionals with similar skills can charge around $40–$75 per hour. Considering her location in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is a smaller market, I’ll estimate her rate at the lower end of the range. Maybe around $50 per hour, which is a reasonable rate for an entry-level to mid-level accounting professional in this region.
