Exhibit A
Accountants work in Mesquite
Mesquite sits east of Dallas, and the accounting work here follows the same calendar as the rest of the metroplex: individual returns in the first quarter, quarterly estimates through the year, and small business bookkeeping that runs on a monthly cycle. The firms serving the city range from single preparers working from home offices to multi partner practices along the I 30 corridor, and the searches people make reflect that mix. Someone looking for help with a return in Mesquite is usually looking for a local name they can call, not a national chain. That is the demand available to a firm that shows up in those searches.
