Okay, let’s tackle this. So Marie has 21 years of experience in financial leadership, which is a significant amount. Location is Providence, Rhode Island, which is not a hub for finance like New York or San Francisco. However, The Washington Trust Company is a local institution. Considering her experience and local presence, I’ll estimate her rate to be on the lower side of the national average. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, financial managers with similar experience in the Northeast region can earn between $80,000 and $150,000 per year. Since Marie has more experience than that, maybe $125 per hour is a reasonable estimate.
