A widow who joined Insight Tax as a licensee after her husband's death went from stay-at-home mom to earning enough to pay off debt, buy a boat and a Can-Am, and take bi-annual vacations. She credits the firm's revenue-sharing model and operational support for letting her focus on clients instead of day-to-day tasks.

I've worked at Insight Tax for a little over 7 years now, and I love it. I joined Insight Tax at a very difficult time in my life. I had just lost my husband to cancer, and so it was a really big transition period in my life. I went from being a, you know, a stay-at-home wife and mother to having to look for a full-time position. And so I started my job search kind of thinking like, oh, I have to find a job to pay the bills. But after interviewing at Insight and being hired at Insight, I quickly learned that I was in for way more than just a job that paid the bills. This was going to be something that was so fulfilling to me and something that I'd been looking for for a very long time. The revenue sharing aspect is, is one of my favorite things. Insight is very generous with the revenue that they share with me, and with that, I'm able to do things with my life that I never thought I would be able to do. So my life has completely changed since becoming a licensee at Insight. I've been able to pay off all my debt. I've been able to afford things that I never thought I would be able to afford. I take vacations twice a year. I've bought fun toys like a boat and a Can-Am. I just got done with a a remodel of my master bathroom. So, you know, not only is, is it very fulfilling just to be here and help clients, but it's also great just knowing that I have that financial security and I can afford to buy things that I didn't think I could. What I would say to someone who owns their own accounting firm and doesn't really love the day-to-day of running that accounting firm is Insight is a perfect opportunity because you get to focus on your clients and helping them While you have support staff and others that help you with all the day-to-day operations, you have all, you know, the resources, administrative help, staff help that you need to get the job done.
