This quarter our spotlight is on Helena Haberle, administrative assistant for Alloy Silverstein’s Hammonton office and for Abacus Payroll, a division of The Alloy Silverstein Group.
Helena is the first person that clients see at the Hammonton workplace, a responsibility that she doesn’t take lightly.
“That first impression is very important,” she acknowledges. “I try and get to know clients and remember their names from year to year. Even if we only see them once, I want them to feel comfortable, and to think, ‘wow,’ they know me, they care about me.”
Helena is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the office, ensuring that tax returns are submitted on time, mail is processed, documents are proofread, supplies are ordered, and the business runs smoothly and efficiently. During the pandemic, she was there to process the mail and scan every client document that was dropped off so the accountants could safely prepare client taxes from home.
She is coming up on her tenth anniversary at Alloy Silverstein. Prior to joining the firm, she had various roles at South Jersey businesses and was with the township of Medford for 20 years, a job started during her cooperative business education at Shawnee High School.
The Medford, New Jersey native grew up as one of eight children in a bustling household. Helena attributes her organizational skills to both of her parents, who kept the matters of all 10 family members on track. Today, she has 44 nieces/nephews and grand nieces/nephews.
Helena resides in Hammonton with her companion Steve, her cats and dog and says her favorite pastime is water walking in her swimming pool, e-reader in hand. “I could spend hours doing that,” she muses.
