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.

What a fantastic gathering of Scottish businesses and good humans at the Scottish Marketing Summit this week.
What an achievement by Susan and Adam and the team to get so many Scottish people and businesses in the room for a full day, practical, helpful event - and most of all for the community they’re building.
I have loads of notes and connections - and a huge shout out to Andrew Dobbie from @madebrave , and Joel & Neil from @codebreakcrew whose talks were literally mesmerising.
If you run a business in Scotland, or want to help support this amazing community, be there in 2027 at the SECC!

Tonight after nearly three months without the sea and sauna I returned to both. It was wild. The waves were crashing. The sauna was hot and full of steam and refreshing and restful and invigorating. And after much pain and grief the last few months I healed with sweat, tears, and the sea. All together in one beautiful evening. ❤️🙏🏼❤️✨

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.
You don’t have to have
ALL THE ANSWERS
Start with a little hope and direction.
