About KLS Web Solutions

Kristi Stangeland is President of KLS Web Solutions and is also a licensed CPA. Kristi has a multifaceted background in accounting & finance, technology, business strategy and the arts. She uses that knowledge to partner with you in designing the most effective site for your business.

As the Worldwide Web began emerging in the 1990's, Kristi became fascinated with this new resource and she became an avid late night “surfer” (after work was done and kids were in bed).

She realized the potential of the Web. Kristi also recognized that CPAs and other professional service companies had not fully grasped the power of the Internet and how it could positively impact their businesses. Suddenly, even small companies could market their business to people all over the world at a relatively low cost. Potential clients could find information and products without leaving their homes or offices.

Kristi drew upon her 20-years of experience in developing finance, accounting and information technology solutions from a broad spectrum of business organizations - most notably, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, J.P. Morgan Chase, Salomon Smith Barney and several not-for-profit organizations. Thus began a company addressing the potential of the Internet, KLS Web Solutions.

Kristi holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree and CPA license. She has also served on the Boards of Directors of art, music and religious organizations in numerous capacities - as artist, finance director and technologist in New York City and Westchester. In 2006, she founded the Go Green Challenge to encourage “green businesses” in Westchester County to reduce emissions and work with local governments for greater ecological health.
