Exhibit A
Bookkeepers work in Lakewood
Lakewood is a city of owner operators, and bookkeeping here follows that pattern. The firms doing the work are mostly small practices, often one or two people, and they sit alongside the storefronts, trades and small service businesses along Detroit Avenue and Madison Avenue that need their books kept. The demand is steady rather than seasonal in shape, because the businesses buying it run all year. Searches come from owners who want a local person they can call, and from people who have just started a business and need someone to set the books up. That is the demand available in Lakewood for a bookkeeper who shows up in the local results.
