Chief Financial Officer Recognized by
Charlotte Business Journal in the StartUp Category
CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PetScreening, which offers the
rental housing industry's first and leading pet policy management
software at no charge to property owners and managers, today
announced that Ellen Sondee has been
named a Charlotte CFO of the Year by the Charlotte Business
Journal.
Sondee was recognized in the startup category, representing
PetScreening's standing as the leading pet-tech provider in the
rental-housing industry. Winners were honored at the Charlotte
Business Journal's CFO of the Year Awards dinner on July 18 and will be further recognized as part of
a special report by the publication.
"I am profoundly honored and humbled to receive this esteemed
award from the Charlotte Business Journal," Sondee said.
"PetScreening had already become a key player in the
rental-housing space prior to my arrival in 2022, and I've had the
pleasure of helping this dynamic company take additional steps
forward by lending my expertise to the financial side of the
equation. I look forward to bringing strategic leadership and
experience as PetScreening continues to innovate and emerge in the
industry."
Sondee is responsible for managing the wide array of financial
activities at PetScreening, including strategic financial planning
and analysis, financial reporting, cost management, financial
strategy, tax compliance and risk management. Among her numerous
contributions in her two years with the company, the UCLA graduate had a clean first-year company audit
with no material adjustments, and she implemented a new human
resources information system and a new budgeting and forecasting
system.
She also has played a pivotal role as PetScreening continues to
grow. The company's headcount has risen nearly 50% since her
inception and could double by the end of 2024 as PetScreening
continues to pursue new markets. This has required Sondee to
closely manage cash flow and projections to ensure the company is
financially positioned to expand at an accelerated pace.
"Ellen has made an immediate impact and unequivocally is
deserving of this award," said John
Bradford, founder and CEO, PetScreening, who was recently
named one of Charlotte's Most
Admired CEOs by the CBJ. "She has deftly handled the
challenging tasks associated with our growth and has done so with a
smile on her face. Her acumen and forward-thinking approach are
things we're thankful to have and never take for granted."
Nominees for CBJ's annual award must have served a minimum
period of three years as CFO or equivalent title during their
career and must be a current full-time and exclusive employee of
the nominating company.
