I would argue that this firm is in fact notable, and worthy of a Wikipedia article for several reasons. There is no other template website development firm that exists, not in the United States, nor elsewhere, that has captured such a large percent of the entire industry as Emochila has with the CPA market. Furthermore, the CPA is not necessarily a profession to be scoffed at, as most every taxpaying individual with marginal net worth has access to and pays for the service of one. Furthermore, when looking at the entire lifespan of firms such as, Yahoo, for example, which is a little more than 13 years old, Emochila represents one of the FIRST Web 2.0 firms having been founded in late 2002 and officially incorporated in early 2003. Look at Wikipedia itself, for example, having a founding date of 2001. Firms listed in Wikipedia currently, such as Lacerte, Intuit, CCH Group and Thomson Corporation have all approached Emochila and successfully integrated their software with Emochila as to make Emochila's web 2.0 integration seamless with their tax software. With these firms listed, why wouldn't the top developer for their web interface be considered? Lastly, a bootstrapped corporation in the web space is basically a thing of legends, especially in the software space. Venture capital has become an integral aspect of software launch, including Wikipedia, companies like Yelp and YouTube and Google. While a 1.2M annual gross might seem small, this success for a web 2.0 self-funded project is unheralded.

Because of your questions of notoriety, I have added the section on Emochila's development of template https, which was unique in the sector back in 2002. Emochila developed this based on Mr. Brubaker's tenure with Pricewaterhouse, and launched this ability before companies such as Homestead Technologies, another firm already listed in Wikipedia. I hope this is sufficient in erasing any questions about legitimacy of the firm.
