Okay, let’s tackle this. So Kelsey has a mix of administrative and leadership skills, which are valuable in many industries. Payroll experience is also in demand. In San Francisco, where the cost of living is high, administrative professionals tend to charge higher rates. Let’s look at benchmarks. According to Glassdoor, the average hourly rate for an administrative assistant in San Francisco is around $25–$35 per hour. Considering Kelsey’s skills and experience, I’d estimate her rate to be on the higher end of that range. Maybe around $40–$50 per hour. However, since she also has leadership skills, which are less common in administrative roles, I’ll round down to $45 per hour.
