Helen Nelson
Manager - Canton Office
I am a native of Cherokee County and have been the Manager for First Financial Services of Canton for 7 years and worked with the company for a little over 8. I take pride in delivering a high level of professionalism and attention to detail while working with my clients on a personal level.
My goal is to turn every client into a friend by the end of the loan process. What sets me apart from the competition is not only my knowledge of the industry, but also my personalized attention with each individual client, helping them with each decision that best suits their needs. I am here to serve you. I do believe the highest compliment I can receive is your confidence and satisfaction enough to refer your family, friends and coworkers to me when they may be in need of our loan services. I look forward to serving you in the future.
Jackson Bishop
Manager - Gainesville Office
I was born and raised in Gainesville, Georgia and have been around the community of Gainesville for my entire life. I graduated from Gainesville High school in 2014 and furthered my education at Western Carolina University where I signed a National Letter of Intent to play collegiate golf. In the Fall of 2018, I graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration in Finance.
I am very much excited about joining First Financial Services and serving our current and future customers, not only here in Hall County, but in the State of Georgia. I am so thankful for joining a company who has had such a great impact over the years across so many communities and I pride myself in helping to continue this tradition as I grow within this industry and company. I look forward to helping you in future!
Ashley Roberts
Assistant Manager - Gainesville Office
I was born in West Virginia and have been back and forth from West Virginia and Georgia my whole life. Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains, I found a love of animals and the outdoors. I now live in Gainesville and have been a resident for the past ten years. I still live close to the Appalachian Mountains and I have loved every minute of being a southern peach!
I started working at First Financial Services and have been here for a little over five years. I started as a loan officer in the Gainesville office and two years later moved to the Cornelia office. Though I loved serving Cornelia, I am happy to be back in the Gainesville First Financial Services office. As the Assistant Manager I strive to maintain a friendly and professional atmosphere with all my clients. Just as First Financial Services has been here many years, I hope to be your loan officer now and in the future serving my return customers.
Since 1947 - Over 70 years!
