ABOUT KAREN
My creative beginnings
My story began with a love of creativity and an accountant qualification. Together, they led to the creation and success of PF, the creative agency working exclusively for and with accountants.
My passion is for leading a team of creatives to help accountants realise they too are creative, and for collaboratively working with accountants in their marketing. Everything I learned in twenty years of helping accountants understand and love marketing formed the core content of my book, The Accountant Marketer.
I’m a qualified accountant (a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in Arizona) and a dual British-American citizen living in Scotland. We are PF serves accountants anywhere on the globe, so I lead a team working from locations all over the world, including South Africa, Argentina, Hungary, UK, and the USA.
My two personal values, the ones that guide everything I do, are freedom and honesty.
My personal pillars include whisky, coffee, faith, walking, and magic.

Not gonna lie I’m pretty weary after over 24 hours of travel and I’m not home yet. So you get a little glimpse of the airports and arrivals and my short trip to Arizona, and I’m going to see if I can catch any shut eye on the flight to Edinburgh!
Hame soon! 🏴

This morning I was going through old letters from my grandparents, parents, and sisters.
I love texts and face time and all our tech: but oh these letters: there were literally hundreds of them from different family members, every week or even every day, just from my time at university.
And there were some real gems: gramps talking about their first car in 1916, or his father who came over alone from Ireland to California and raised a family of twelve on a farm. Stories, memories. Family.
It was good to be reminded of legacy today.

The journey so far
You are creative too
Maybe you’re not much for drawing or painting or sketching or even writing. But when you think about problem solving and curiosity, it’s a little easier to believe in your own creativity.
You’re a creative person if you have a curious, open mind. Willing to ask questions and see things differently. It can be a bit of a mess, like a child with crayons just going all over the page and outside the lines and maybe even onto the table. (Or wall.) You try something, and maybe it works – and maybe it doesn’t. But you’re on the path to figuring it all out.
