Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Irvine
Irvine is a large city with a steady base of tax preparation work. The demand comes from households filing individual returns, from small business owners in the city's office and tech parks, and from people who moved into Irvine during the year and need help with a part year or multi state return. The searches are spread across the city rather than concentrated in one strip, and they run heavily on phrases tied to Irvine itself, such as tax preparer Irvine or Irvine tax service. National chains and franchise offices appear in paid search for these terms, and independent owner operators compete for the same clicks with local pages and reviews. The volume available is real and it repeats every year, which is why the firms that publish consistently hold the ground.
