What? And they're trying to hire a bookkeeper. A bookkeeper was $90,000 a year. I went $90,000 a year. I mean it's. I didn't. You didn't say cpa. Right? This isn't a cfo, Right. I think it's, it's bookkeeper. Data entry of my invoices and stuff like that. Yeah, that seems absolutely outrageous. And had the exact same thing for a production support person, administer production assistant. And that person was $70,000 a year. And I mean it was three or four years ago. Those were 35, $40,000 a year jobs. Yeah, that has a lot to do with the different markets and stuff like that in the country as well. But what other roles do you do? Those particular roles and if so, what other roles do you do as well?
Yeah, no, anything involving the accounting department or financial roles have kind of quickly become our bread and butter. So we work with now about almost 600 different companies that are in the US right across a lot of different industries and verticals. But that is by far the most consistent opportunity that we help companies with. Everybody, especially as you start to scale up in size, everything involving paying and getting your bills paid on time and collecting money from your clients is. Becomes obviously incredibly important.
