Please allow me to introduce Ashley Thomas, Co-owner and operator of Carolina Creek Fire Hemp and owner of Black Bear Botanicals. Recently, I have created a chart of accounts for my business, Big Ivy Naturals. Mrs. Thomas vetted my expenses and revenues as well as agreed to conduct a written interview.
1. Why did you want to grow and sell hemp?
I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing Ms. Amber Hunter of Cherry Bekaert, LLP and hearing her informative perspective on the immense role accounting plays for businesses. Ms. Hunter’s knowledge shines through in this interview as she is able to capture how critical these spreadsheets can be for an organization. Since we are currently discussing chart of accounts in ENT 645, Ms. Hunter was able to lend her expertise and explain that while these charts are necessary for the tracking of expenditures and streams of revenue, they are also able to predict a company’s viability and subsequently their profitability….This interview was definitely a treat and this lady really knows her stuff!
I completed my interview with Sherrill Allen, Fund Development Coordinator at Sampson Regional Medical Center on June 17, 2020. Sherrill provided a lot of insight regarding factors that are important for entrepreneurs and key concepts that will help to achieve a successful career. The interview is audio only and is in three parts as I had to stop and start when interruptions occurred during the interview. Please take the time to listen to Sherrill Allen who took the time to discuss entrepreneurship.
