Growing up in the Northeast Kingdom in Kirby, Vermont Christina Houghton saw from an early age the importance of hard work, dedication and thinking outside the box. Kirby is a small town, Christina’s father, a road commissioner, her grandmother the Kirby Town Clerk, and her grandfather operated Houghton Hollow Farm. Christina saw firsthand that small communities rely on each other, have lots of responsibilities, must be creative when times are tough, yet still, sharing and making sure others have what they need. Christina meets every day with this same moral compass she was raised with. She is driven by making things better. Whether it is to clean up a business’s financials, to brainstorm or advise a problem, to train or teach business owners to be self-sufficient, or understand an aspect of accounting or finance, she is there to help. Christina believes in building trusting relationships, and fostering others thrive and succeed is incredibly rewarding to her. Over the last 20 years, Christina has built an excellent reputation as a business consultant, accountant/auditor, tax accountant, controller, and director of finance.  Working in many industries including manufacturing, retail, nonprofits, government, and trades, she has a wide range of experience to offer. Her history of volunteering for numerous youth sports organizations as a coach, treasurer, and secretary, further demonstrates her commitment to her community.
