Okay, let’s tackle this. So Matthew Osen is a CPA with skills in accounting, tax, audit, and finance. His education from the University of Northern Iowa is solid. Location is Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is a mid-sized city. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accountants and auditors in the Des Moines-Waterloo, IA-MN Metropolitan Division (which includes Cedar Rapids) have a median hourly wage of $40-$60. Considering his CPA certification, which requires a certain level of expertise and education, I would estimate his hourly rate to be on the higher end of this range, around $75. This is also in line with national averages for CPAs in smaller cities.
