Angela Adams Consulting made its debut as an exhibitor at Applied Net 2026, bringing 25 years of independent insurance agency experience to the conference and celebrating its growing role as an Applied Preferred Consultant.
The milestone connects more agencies using Applied systems with the company’s accounting, operations consulting and professional insurance service teams, support designed to help agencies address day-to-day challenges and prepare for growth.
President Angela Adams described the debut as a new chapter built on a longstanding commitment to independent agencies.
As a first-time exhibitor at Applied Net 2026, we were thrilled by the warm welcome and the opportunity to connect with so many innovative agency leaders. For 25 years, Angela Adams Consulting has helped independent insurance agencies improve operations, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals. As an Applied Preferred Consultant, we’re excited to bring that experience to more Applied agencies. Technology continues to change how agencies operate, but our commitment remains the same: standing beside our clients, helping them navigate change, and shining a light on their path to success.
Angela Adams, President
For colleagues familiar with the company’s work, the debut was a welcome addition to the Applied community. Brad Ruben of Archway described the company’s arrival as a benefit for agencies seeking additional accounting and operational support.
I’ve been hoping for years that Angela would become part of the Applied community, and I’m so happy she finally did. Having such a well-known and highly accredited organization as Angela Adams Consulting in the Applied world, bringing the accounting and support expertise they provide for other agency management systems, is a big win for everyone.

The conference also brought a sense of reunion for Deann Sheldon, Applied Regional Manager, who reconnected with industry colleagues while introducing the company in its new capacity.

Attending the Applied Net conference and interacting with other attendees was like old home week! As part of Angela Adams Consulting, being a new preferred consultant and first time exhibitor, I got to reconnect with many colleagues and make new connections. The educational classes were very valuable as well. It is great to be part of the Applied Community and we look forward to building on our reputation for helping agencies grow and prosper.
