Okay, let’s tackle this. So Sean has a mix of skills in finance, asset management, and commercial lending. His experience in financial audits and real estate adds value. Location is Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which is a mid-sized city. According to national averages, finance professionals with similar skills in the Midwest can charge around $100–$150 per hour. Considering his expertise and location, I estimate his hourly rate to be around $125, which is slightly above the average, reflecting his strong skills and experience.
