Meet the team – Jean Jacquin, Manager

What do you do at TAG?

I am one of the managers leading the team in the Business Advisory & Tax Services division with a strong focus on value add to clients and engaging with the team and clients.

How do you prefer to start your day? Tea or Coffee.

I’m a coffee drinker and always start the day with a shot of espresso to kick start the day. My daily morning routine is to get up at 5am and go to Crossfit for one hour of training. Coffee definitely helps boost my performance during the Work Out of the Day.

What was your first job?

My first job was at Dominos Pizza, making pizzas, taking orders and delivering the pizzas.

What are you reading right now?

“Lifescripts” by Stephen Pollan & Mark Levine. The book provides you with the most effective approach or words to use when confronted with challenging situations such as a difficult conversation to have with a peer. The book was recommended by one of the Partners, Wendy Waack.

Who would be your 3 ideal dinner guests, dead or alive?

Other than my family, I would invite:

    • Louis de Funes (a French actor and comedian) for a good laugh.
    • The Dalai Lama for his insight on life.
    • Mathew Fraser (5 years in a row crossfit games winner) for training tips.

What’s your favourite movie?

Schindler’s List is one of my favourite movies depicting the horrors of the Holocaust. I first watched the movie in high school (1997) for one of my HSC assignments based on the second world war and the theme on violence. It will forever remain in my mind.

Do you have any pets?

Yes, Luka the French Bulldog who thinks he runs the house (and does according to my partner).
