It's a great day, / as I've helped someone. Is it correct to put a comma before 'as'?
Or can go without comma?

I wouldn't put it in this sentence strucutre ,but as Denis mentioned it depends whether you want to lay stress on the clause or not.

Elizabeth,
Putting a comma before 'as' is not necessary in your sentence.
It's a great day as I've helped someone.
On the other hand it is not wrong. It is a matter of writing style.
It's a great day, as I've helped someone.
The comma emphasizes the clause (as I've helped someone.)
If that is your intention, then the comma is perfectly okay.
