Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Albuquerque
Albuquerque has a steady base of tax preparation work. National chains run offices along the big commercial corridors, and a long tail of independent preparers and enrolled agents works out of small offices and home practices across the city. The demand peaks hard in filing season, when people search for a preparer near them, for help with a return they started themselves, or for someone who can handle a back year. Paid search in this trade is expensive in the first months of the year because the chains bid on the obvious terms, which leaves the specific local searches as the ground where a smaller firm can be found. Searches carry the neighbourhood name, the kind of return, and the language the filer uses for their situation.
