Jordan_Audrey_ENT650_SME Interview Cameron Chancy
Hi everyone,
Cameron Chancy who is the Director of Accounting for Sampson Regional Medical Center completed my SME interview for ENT650. Cameron answered the questions I presented to her prior to our phone conversation. I had the pleasure of talking with Cameron via phone to learn more about the importance of financing and what it takes for a business to survive. As Cameron explained, it is best to come up with a business plan in writing and constantly research to ensure you are making the best business decisions. Please see the interview question responses from Cameron Chancy below. I look forward to any feedback/comments you may have.
Wealth Management Goals for the Entrepreneur

As Market Development Manager (Vice President) for Merrill Lynch Wealth Management’s community market offices in the Tennessee Valley, Jonathon Hubbard works closely with local leadership and financial advisors to help clients achieve their life goals through a full range of financial solutions and investment strategies based upon the client’s risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, and overall investment goals.
From rushing football fields in Charlotte, North Carolina as a high school student, and at Davidson College to Corporate America, Jonathon honed his soft skills on the stage. Believe it or not, he was a theater major pursuing a bachelor’s degree. Improvisation and soft skills practice paid off. During an economic crisis, he saw an opportunity to begin a career in finance that would evolve into a profession affording other people opportunities to build generational wealth. It doesn’t hurt that his family will also benefit from his knowledge.
