Exhibit A
Accountants work in Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach runs on small businesses, and small businesses need books kept. The searches come from surf shops and restaurants along Main Street and Pacific Coast Highway, from contractors working out of garages in the tract neighbourhoods inland, and from the owners of short term rentals near the pier. Tax season pulls a run of searches for filing help, and the rest of the year brings a steadier trickle for bookkeeping, payroll and advice on forming an LLC. The firms competing for those searches are mostly owner operators and small partnerships rather than national franchises, which means the searches are local and the answers people want are local too. Paid search in this trade in this city is bought by the firms that want the phone to ring in the weeks before a deadline. The demand is there every month of the year in some form.
