Springfield, MO – July 29, 2022 – Abacus CPAs, LLC is delighted to name Doris Helmick as the recipient of the 2022 Abacus Values Award for Positive Attitude. Helmick joined Abacus in 2011 as a Tax Preparer and is now a Senior Associate.

Helmick primarily focuses on payroll processes and accounts payables for McDonald’s clients. She graduated from Central Missouri State University with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Helmick previously did accounts receivable for a bridal store before beginning her Abacus journey.

“I have learned that, with some guidance and training, I can take on new challenges that seemed outside of my area of knowledge,” Helmick said.

The Abacus Value Award for Positive Attitude recognizes an employee who leads a coachable mindset, cooperation and believes the intentions and abilities of others are good.

“I think it is important to be cooperative and coachable in and out of the work setting,” she said. “Being in a work space where everyone is working together toward a common goal is so much more enjoyable than when there is a very competitive atmosphere.”

The Abacus Values Awards were created in 2020 to recognize individuals who fully exemplify Abacus Values in how they live, work and build relationships with clients and coworkers. Each recipient demonstrated exceptional understanding and achievement in client support and professional relationships.
