Job Title: Staff Accountant

Company: HEI Hotels & Resorts

Location: Cleveland, OH

Pay: $22 per hour

AI Pay Analysis: The hourly rate of $22 for a Staff Accountant position in Cleveland, OH, appears to be below the industry standard for this role. As of recent data, the typical hourly wage for a Staff Accountant in Cleveland ranges from approximately $25 to $35 per hour, depending on factors such as experience, specific industry, and the size of the employer. While entry-level positions may start closer to the lower end of that spectrum, $22 per hour is generally considered not competitive for the position, especially when taking into account the cost of living and the qualifications typically required for accountants. Thus, candidates with relevant experience may be less inclined to accept a role at this pay level.
