Jack Smith

Hello, I’m Jack. Since gaining a First Class Honours degree and Masters degree in Mathematics at the University of Bristol, I have joined the team at Ecovis. This will be my first vocational role after finishing my degree!

I’ve only been here a short amount of time, but everyone seems so supportive and welcoming, which has really made me feel at home. It is a friendly office, where you’re able to have fun but at the same time still get your work done. As I’m so new, I’ve not yet had any ‘clients’ per se! But I’d like to think I’m very attentive to detail, and therefore will be able to help my clients with any errors in their figures and perhaps help them understand how to correct these!

At this point in time, I’m currently trying to get a feel for all different departments across the company to fully find my niche. As of now, I’m enjoying handling quantitative data and analysing / thoroughly checking through it!

• Favourite hobbies

Outside of work, I play football weekly and also go to the gym a lot. I feel like this keeps me in a good mental headspace whereby I’m then able to come into work with a clear head. On top of this, I also play a lot of video/computer games after work too! I find this is a great way for me to unwind!

• Alternative career choice

Unrealistically: A professional footballer
Realistically: Investment Banking – it seems very very hectic, but at the same time it can be lucrative!

• My favourite meal

Anything Italian, probably mushroom risotto or spaghetti carbonara.

• What’s the most exciting thing on your bucket list?

Cliff jumping and/or sky diving.

• Coffee or tea?

I despised coffee when I was younger, but now I love it – so coffee it is.

• Are you a cat person or a dog person?

I’m definitely a dog person.
