Biography:

Karen is a solicitor, as well as being a CTA, with 30 years' experience in defending claims against accountants. In that time she saw where claims commonly arose and developed a good understanding of risk, and that led her to writing a well-regarded book on risk management for accountants and tax advisers, and to ultimately passing the Institute of Risk Management exams.

Karen then set up her own business advising professionals on how to manage risk in their own businesses, giving advice in a practical and pragmatic way, to help people avoid the traps that so many unwary have fallen into over the years.

She is a popular and regular speaker at industry events on risk issues, and has set up a 'RiskBites(c) club' to help people with a risk helpline and monthly risk training and discussions.
