I just received a call from a colleague for which I don't have an answer and
so thought I'd turn here. My colleague is looking to hire a consultant in
the New York City area to develop an Excel-based reporting tool that
interacts with a SQL Server back end or Access front end db.

The context would be finance, specifically, derivatives pricing and
analysis, if that matters.

Anyone have any idea what kind of rates consultants charge for this type of
work?

Thanks,

Dave
