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.
My two personal values, the ones that guide everything I do, are freedom and honesty.
My personal pillars include whisky, coffee, walking, swimming, and magic.

“Ok ok we get it you live on an island and everything is idyllic… but seriously. Is it as lovely as it seems?”
Social media is the highlight reel, right?? Surely it’s harder than it looks sometimes… what if you aren’t able to get a ferry… power cuts…
But here’s the thing. That’s all true. I’ve had some challenges since moving and I still do some days. But I had all those things (or versions of them) on the mainland. Sure, sometimes it takes a while to get things sorted because of the weather or fewer options of time slots… but this reel reflects a very normal day on the island for me… so the compensations make up for it every time.
Happy Sunday. ❤️☀️✨🏴

Some days are for adventuring, some for exploring… and some, like today, are for wandering.
It’s a wandering day.

Sometimes you look up from your morning coffee and the sky is just GLOWING all golden and you just stand at the window for a while. ❤️✨☀️

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.
