Exhibit A
Accountants work in San Jose
San Jose is a city of small businesses, and small businesses need bookkeeping, payroll and tax help. The demand for accounting searches here comes from owner operators, contractors and the many firms serving the tech corridor, alongside the households and sole traders spread across the valley. Search interest clusters around tax season and around the start of a new business, when people look for someone local to set up their books. The searches are made by people ready to hire, which is the demand available to a firm that shows up for them.
