Totally agree with you. Concerned about the whole slew of companies that are in this bucket - Groupon, livingsocial, fb, twitter, zynga, automattic, digg, etc... which had known public founder cash out. It is interesting to see VCs cashing

Great suggestion. We will open up the directory once considerable number of agents are part of the network. We should add specialties part of the individual tax agent page/blurb. We could automate the whole rating system as well.

Yea, please don't upload until tax agent is finalized and you feel good to go. Coding point of view, we should have created a wizard kinda flow. Will fix it in next revision. Thanks.
