Okay, let’s tackle this. So Steve Friar has 33 years of experience in management, finance, and accounting, which is a long time. His skills include business planning, forecasting, financial analysis, and mergers and acquisitions, which are all in demand. He’s also a certified Enrolled Agent (EA), which adds prestige. Location is Rockford, Michigan, which is a mid-sized city. Based on national averages, experienced professionals with his level of expertise and certification can charge higher rates. Maybe around $100–$200 per hour for a non-technical role like this. But considering his extensive experience, I’ll estimate around $150 per hour.
