Exhibit A
Tax Preparers work in Oxnard
Oxnard is a city of around 200,000 people, and the tax preparation trade here is a mix of national chains on the main commercial streets, small storefront offices serving the surrounding neighbourhoods, and owner operators who work from home and take clients by referral. The searches come from people who want a preparer close to where they live or work, so the demand splits across the city rather than pooling in one downtown. Much of it is Spanish language search, and much of it is seasonal. The paid search on terms like tax preparer Oxnard and tax preparation near me is contested in the weeks before the filing deadline, which tells you the demand is real and that the people searching are ready to book.
