Our Story

Christine Michelson is the owner of Stallion Management Services, a passionate consulting firm dedicated to helping businesses navigate the dynamic landscape of business today.  Our core mission is to empower organizations to build their wealth and lead them to the path of strategic growth.

Effective Software Utilization

Whether you are using Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Inventory Management, Customer Relations Management (CRM), Project or Business Management software -  we often find businesses aren't using them to their full potential.  Many programs will also have an accounting module built in that is limited.  Businesses may want to use QuickBooks for their accounting, but items, systems, and the Chart of Accounts (COA) need to be mapped correctly.





Expertise For Results

With over 20 years' experience in Accounting, Computer Science, and Business Management, I understand that success is not just about profitability; it's also about sustainability and responsible business practices.  


Most software programs and apps we use today are just large databases with powerful interfaces to get information in and out.


This is where my experience in GAAP accounting and actual hands-on work experience is indispensable in customizing these systems to work for you.

Bachelor of Science, Accounting

I started taking accounting classes when I was 15 years old, taking all the courses available in High School and Junior College. However, after working in the accounting industry for decades I decided to go back and get my Bachelor's Degree. I have now completed over 120 semester units and am eligible to sit for the CPA exam, if that is the direction I take.


I was so fortunate to go back and learn the new GAAP Revenue Recognition Rules. Everything I learned was up-to-date and so relatable as I had already had a career in accounting. My two favorites were Cost Accounting and Auditing.


Looking forward to commencement in
