Okay, let’s tackle this. So Patrick De Suza has 15+ years of experience in finance, which is a significant amount. His MBA from Stanford University adds a lot of value. Financial modeling and portfolio management are high-demand skills, especially in the Bay Area. Typically, finance professionals with his level of experience and education can charge higher rates. Maybe around $200–$300 per hour for financial modeling and analysis. However, considering his Stanford background, I’d estimate his rate to be on the higher side, around $250 per hour. This is comparable to other finance professionals with similar experience and education in the Bay Area.
