Cameron@SoundFoundationWA.com

Cameron Church is a wealth advisor based in Durham, NC. Working with clients ranging from residents, doctors, and dentists to young professionals and career changers, Cameron helps his clients proactively work toward financial security. Before determining the appropriate financial strategy for each of his clients, Cameron prioritizes building a relationship with them in order to uncover their specific goals and needs.

A graduate of the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, Cameron started off studying medicine due to the direct and tangible impact he believed he could have within the field. However, after witnessing how much those around him struggled to manage their own finances, he decided to switch course. Now as an advisor, Cameron feels passionate about the opportunity he has to bring about a sense of security and well-being to his clients through financial advising. In order to help his clients feel free from the burden of financial stress, Cameron works with them on everything from disability insurance to Roth IRAs to managing student loan debt and more.

Working alongside Seth, his brother and fellow wealth advisor, Cameron is able to provide his clients with access to further expertise and resources through their partnership. Together, Cameron and his team host dinner seminars for medical residents, medical professionals, and others up and down the east coast, and have spoken at hospitals including the Mayo Clinic, Duke University , Emory University, and more.

Cameron, originally from Charlotte, NC, now resides with his wife in Chapel Hill. Outside of the office, he is involved with CrossFit Chapel Hill, Beta Upsilon Chi Fraternity alumni, the Summit Church, and BlessBack Worldwide volunteering. In his spare time, he can be found working out at CrossFit Chapel Hill, spending time with his wife, traveling, wine tasting, going to the beach, or watching sports.

He works primarily with members of the medical community, from attending and resident physicians of various specialties to members of the mental health counseling community. He specializes in building financial plans centered around clients' goals, forming all the necessary implementation steps to help each household obtain their dreams. Seth loves to work with people who love working with people. 

After leaving his home town of Charlotte, NC, Seth attended the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill where he studied Kinesiology and took pre-medicine courses with the goal of helping those around him through medicinal practices. After a brief stint working in the Emergency Department of UNC, Seth decided that although he loved working with medical professionals, he needed to find a different avenue to connect with these individuals. Following in the footsteps of his older brother and now partner, Cameron Church, Seth pivoted to a career in financial advising where he has found great joy in working with medical practitioners through all types of financial concerns.

Seth prides himself on being “the go-to-guy” for his clients. Whether someone has questions on student loans, investments, or asset and family protection, he is confident in his ability to find a solution with which the client will be pleased. 

Outside of the office, Seth can be found participating in any type of outdoor activities.
