A conversation between Rebecca Olson, guest; and Devaughn Williamson, host.

Rebecca Olson knew what it was to have nothing! She spent her teenage years homeless , at some points, and in the foster care system. Stability was a foreign concept to her. By the time she hit her 20’s, she was a single mom, living on government assistance and aid. This was the definition of “hard knock life”.

But life began to change for Rebecca when she had an encounter with God when she was 21 years old. She went from not having an identity to being transformed into a Child of God. Her biggest test was trusting God with the money she had. Rebecca admitted that money had a strong emotional grip on her. And this test was the “litmus test” as to if she truly trusted God or not.

There came a point where she gave her entire check - $232 as an offering while having two young kids. She refers to that seed as her “widow’s mite” because she gave all she had believing God would honor his Word to her.

And He did.

From that act of obedience, God opened tremendous doors for Rebecca. That was the moment High Tower Tax and Accounting was created. It was not just a business but God’s path for Rebecca’s life. There were a lot of moments when Rebecca wrestled with doubt, and decision making, but she relied on her mentors to provide Godly counsel. They encouraged her to just move when God says to move even though she didn’t know all the answers - just fully trust Him.

High Tower Accounting & Tax began at Rebecca’s dining room table. It has now expanded to serve over 1,200 clients. From there, Rebecca went on to start youth scholarships, nonprofit advocacy, special-needs programs in schools.

Rebecca credits a lot of her success to utilizing one simple principle - sowing and reaping. She found herself giving when it didn’t make sense because she understood that you can’t outgive God. Because of that simple principle, Rebecca witnessed God open doors no man could.

Rebecca is very adamant of allowing her faith and business to be one in the same. She can’t separate them because her faith in God is what built the business.

Rebecca mentions that she takes God with her into every boardroom, and client meeting. She understands that High Tower is not just a company but an expansion of the Kingdom of God.

Rebecca shares how deeply personal this journey is for her. As a tax resolution expert, she works with clients who are facing financial devastation. She sees their panic, their fear—and she knows it well. She’s been there. She’s bounced checks, mismanaged money, and panicked over bills. But through it all, she’s learned to pause and ask God for wisdom. And without fail, He provides the roadmap.

Through her experience, Rebecca noticed that money can still be a “god” in your life if you are controlled by it, emotionally. Those emotions can appear when you lose it or express extreme excitement when you get it. Those emotional responses are your litmus test. And the antidote? Not just faith, but perfect love that is born from a deeper trust in God’s love and timing. When your heart is aligned with Him, peace begins to replace panic.
