Marketing doesn’t need to be pain wrapped in mystery. But it’s such a necessary factor to growing and expanding your business the way that you want.

Yuri is joined by Karen Reyburn, a CPA turned Scotland based agency owner who’s spent 15 years helping accountants and bookkeepers attract better clients without forcing themselves into content or marketing activities they hate. 

They dig into why “niching” usually misses the point, how to pick marketing channels your audience actually uses, and why trust is built through consistency, not one big burst of effort. Plus, Karen does a live, first impression website teardown of Yuri’s site and explains the small copy and layout tweaks that can quietly boost conversions and filter out the wrong leads.
