Say Hello to Elena!
Say hello to Elena!

Our company name may have changed to Brigade Bookkeeping, but our friendly and competent staff is still here for you. It’s a great time for you to get to know the team. So this week, we want to introduce you to the woman who is our drill master of sorts, Elena Reichenberger.

Elena is our Office Assistant and has been with us since February of this year. Her official title may be Office Assistant, but she is so much more than that!

Elena keeps the books for Brigade Bookkeeping, she prepares our  profitability analysis, plus she manages our benefits program, interviews applicants, and implements strategies to keep our morale up every day. Elena works with prospective clients to see if we’re a good fit for them and prepares proposals. She assists with marketing initiatives, troubleshoots IT problems, and is responsible for general office duties, like keeping track of my schedule. She is the first person you see when you walk in the door and the person whose voice greets you on the phone.

Elena is a native of Madison, Wisconsin and spent the last ten years in the windy city of Chicago. She moved to Miami with her boyfriend, who found a job in South Florida. Despite the high humidity and this year’s excessive rain, Elena says she loves it here and is enjoying the weather.

Elena’s hobbies include cooking, tennis and golf. She also loves horse racing. In fact, she and her boyfriend are the proud owner of Little Daniella, their very own race horse.

There’s one other thing Elena loves and that’s working at Brigade Bookkeeping! “The best part of working at Brigade Bookkeeping is the people,” said Elena. “Our team supports each other and genuinely wants to see each other do well. I didn’t know anyone when I moved to Miami, but after working at Brigade Bookkeeping, I felt as if I gained 10 new friends,” she concluded.

We welcome Elena to our Brigade Bookkeeping family. Thanks Elena for all of your hard work!

In the upcoming weeks, we will be introducing you to other essential members of our team. In the meantime, check out our new website at www.brigadebookkeeping.com and e-mail or give me a call if you have any questions about it.

Have a great week and take a minute to be thankful for your work family!
