Senior Spotlight: Nick Morris As Nick Morris approaches graduation, we are excited to spotlight his transformative journey with the Smile Fund, where he currently serves as president, and how it has shaped his career aspirations. During his time with the fund, Nick has developed crucial skills in communication, organization, and leadership—rare opportunities for many college students. His experiences have equipped him to excel in both technical tasks and leadership roles, providing a strong foundation for his future career. Nick is set to join Elliot Davis as an Audit Associate, where he plans to apply the skills and insights gained from his leadership in the Smile Fund. His immediate goal is to obtain his CPA, paving the way for progression beyond entry-level roles. In five years, he envisions himself as a manager at a public accounting firm. One of the most impactful experiences for Nick has been the CFA Challenge, which significantly influenced his professional path. He credits much of his growth to his mentor, Ryan, who not only trained him within the Smile Fund but also recommended him for the CFA Challenge. Looking ahead, Nick is eager to explore careers in mergers and acquisitions, advisory consulting, and financial planning and analysis (FP&A), with plans to transition to M&A after gaining experience as an associate. After graduation, Nick is committed to continuing his learning journey through the CPA and actively seeking leadership opportunities. He encourages others to engage with the Smile Fund, as it provides a unique platform for personal and professional growth in both analytical and social skills. We are proud of Nick’s accomplishments and can’t wait to see where his journey takes him next!
