Karen Rawlinson first joined RfM Accountants in Barrow in 2000 as a ‘mature’ trainee, having decided on a change of career after having children. Karen gained practical experience in all areas of the business, from tax and accounts to payroll, before leaving in 2005 to take up a role in industry.
Three years later, RfM welcomed Karen back to the Barrow practice as Payroll Manager. In the years following, Karen’s role has evolved and she is now Client Manager at both the Barrow and Ulverston offices. She is the key contact for personal tax clients, and is also responsible for overseeing the work of colleagues in the tax team and preparing small business accounts.
Karen’s versatility and ‘hands on’ attitude ensure that her clients benefit from an efficient, accurate service – delivered with a smile.
Away from the office, Karen runs ‘Mum’s Taxis Limited’ (unofficially). When she isn’t driving her daughters to activities, she enjoys lots of walks with her Cockapoo puppy, Phoebe.
