Exhibit A
Bookkeepers work in New York
New York holds one of the largest concentrations of bookkeeping firms in the country, from solo practitioners working out of apartments in Queens and Brooklyn to small offices serving Manhattan clients. The demand is steady because the city runs on small businesses: restaurants, contractors, retail shops, professional practices and property managers all need books kept. Paid search around bookkeeping terms in New York carries real cost, which tells you the commercial intent is there. The firms competing for that demand are mostly owner operators and small partnerships rather than national franchises, so visibility in local search is decided firm by firm.
