I work in private but am thinking about branching out and doing some part time public next year during tax season. I am curious what a part time CPA is getting these days with my experience. Most of my experience is in financial reporting, about 12 years. A year ago, I moved into corp tax for a global company and just really love it. A friend of mine (ex PWC guy) hired me with the intent of bombarding me with a ton of work to spead up the learning curve, which he did. I probably did 80 - 100 Feds (1120's) last year and too many State's to count. Also, some 1065's. All compliance stuff, not to much research I would consider myself border line tax senior. My question is, what is a fair price for part time work in the area. I am licensed and also an MSA. What are partner's billing these days for staff.

Anyways, I just don't want to ask for $25 an hour when I could get more. I got $20 a couple years ago with no tax experience. Any advice? I typically just take whatever and don't question it. I am tired of that. Any advice?

Thanks,
