TaxTalent.com (http://www.taxtalent.com), the premier online resource for Tax Professionals, today announced that it had signed its 12,000th member.

The site reached the 10,000 member mark just over six months ago. It is attracting new members at a rate of over 300/month.

Other statistics:

• Average Monthly Unique visitors are UP by over 1100 (6,396 vs 5,285)

"We've got good stickability," said Director John O'Neill. This, combined with our increasing membership, makes TaxTalent.com the only vehicle for communicating with Tax Professionals online."

"Tax Pro's trust us - they read our content and use the services we provide."

O'Neill puts the increased membership down to "word of mouth".

"There's anecdotal evidence that our users communicate with each other and with their peers. We have a winning formula, and we're sticking with it."

While pleased with the increased use of the site, O'Neill is by no means complacent.

"With over a quarter of a million Tax Professionals in the US alone, we've got a way to go," he said.

The company aims to double its membership over the next twelve months.
