“The previous company I worked for had only one product (Debtor Finance), whereas Earlypay has multiple products”
Tony Harmey,
Earlypay
When it comes to shaping one's career, there are those who meticulously plan each step, and there are others who let the winds of chance and opportunity guide their path. For Tony Harmey, after 30 years of owning and operating hotels, he took a chance by changing career paths to finance, which ultimately led to fulfilment and success. The shift from the hotel industry to the world of finance might have seemed daunting at first, but it has been a journey filled with growth, learning and adaptation.
In Tony’s current role as a Senior Business Development Manager at Earlypay, he explains that one of his biggest challenges has been navigating multiple products and processes.
“The previous company I worked for had only one product (Debtor Finance), whereas Earlypay has multiple products,” he says. “Getting my head around all of them and the processes has been a great undertaking.”
The supportive and welcoming environment at Earlypay has helped ease this transition. Despite confessing to not being technologically inclined, Tony’s enthusiasm for the role shines through, and the prospect of a future with Earlypay is met with excitement and anticipation.
Reflecting on his career thus far, Tony considers his greatest achievement to be onboarding clients over the years and watching them grow on the back of tailored business finance solutions. By providing access to working capital tied up in unpaid invoices, these business clients are empowered to accelerate their cash flow and propel their businesses forward. This achievement has not only been professionally rewarding but has also allowed for meaningful connections with individuals from various walks of life.
