Partner

Karen is a partner at Hall, Kistler who strategically helps clients with business growth and development. She can swiftly identify key performance indicators and provide tax strategies to strengthen clients’ businesses.

After more than 20 years with our firm, Karen spent the last ten years as a managing partner, leading its strategy and developing its team, which she greatly enjoyed.

Two of Karen’s passions are participating in community service and exploring other cultures and people. She loves to spend time on Lake Erie, either casually sailing or crewing on racing sailboats. She’s even had the opportunity to steer an aerial ambassador, the world-famous Goodyear Blimp.
