Hourly Billing Rates
Two of the most common services that are paid for on an hourly basis are CPAs and attorneys. This is due to the fact that both are expensive services and to limit costs, most customers prefer to pay on an hourly basis.
CPA
A certified public accountant is someone who helps others with calculating their taxes. Filing taxes is a huge responsibility and should not be taken lightly. However, since filing only happens once per year (April 15th) for most people, a CPA is hired on a per hour basis to complete a filing.

Attorney
Depending on the type of attorney, expensive bills can rack up quickly. Attorneys typically charge a retainer fee, which is a deposit to ensure payments can be made. If not charging per hour, attorneys will take a case and work on contingency (when an attorney takes a percentage of the money awarded to their client after winning a case).

Hourly Pay Calculator
An hourly pay calculator can be handy when needing to calculate the hourly pay multiplied by the number of hours worked.
