june@ellenbecker.com

June joined Ellenbecker Investment Group, Inc. in March of 2002 as the Controller. She manages all of the company's financials, produces financial reports and compiles the payroll. June handles all of the health and life insurance for the company and researches new employee benefits.

June has been active in the accounting field since 1962, when she performed accounting services for the Madison Ice Arena. She became personally involved with this organization through her husband who designed the refrigeration system and was co-owner of the facility. June studied at the International Accountants Society and became associated with a CPA firm in Madison.

She and her husband moved to Milwaukee in 1967 to be closer to another ice arena-oriented organization, of which her husband was co-founder. In 1979 June started and operated her own computer accounting service, specializing in restaurants. She operated this business for ten years, at which time her husband passed away and she decided to accept an offer from her largest client, an advertising and production house firm, as their Controller.

June later worked for six years with the Bartolotta Restaurant Group, Inc. as their Controller. She became involved from the ground up with this company. After six years, she decided to semi-retire, but the accounting field kept calling her back. Ellenbecker Investment Group, Inc. is fortunate to have June working at the firm providing updated accounting procedures and services. June is helping our firm grow through her improvements to our systems, budgeting and strong sense of small business intricacies.

June has many hobbies - and especially loves to sew, knit and make specially designed baby quilts for friends and relatives. The most recent interest in quilting is landscape designs and machine embroidery. She resides with her character of a cat, Pandora who keeps her entertained.
