I've had a couple regular clients for the past couple years and I want to up my hourly rate (currently at $85/hr). Would $90 be reasonable? and what's the best way to phrase it? thx!

If I were you I would make a bigger jump. Just bite the bullet and go for 100. You'll be surprised that there will be no pushback. You don't need to offer to phase it in or anything just go for it.

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
