Kaycee is looking for a new company to prepare her tax returns this year. She explores the yellow pages of her phone book, and browses the Internet to find information about tax preparers in the area. She finds the names and contact details of several accountants, as well as popular tax preparation companies such as H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt. Since Kaycee is currently short of money, she decides to approach an accountant rather than the two popular companies. She finds the contact details of three accountants on the Internet, and visits their respective offices. The first office is located in an impoverished part of the town, but has an attractive interior and also a friendly receptionist.
