TONY HARPER
Founding Member; Certified Financial Planner®
Tony started out by studying a Bachelor of Commerce at University of Natal to become an accountant. It was during this time that he realised his passion was in people and decided to convert his academic interest into writing the first professional Financial Planning qualification with the University of Free State in 1986 known as ILPA*.
Tony started his career in 1982 with FPS Ltd where he became a Director, and is a past member of the FPI Investment Committee. After nine years as Director at FPS, he realised how important independent, impartial, and needs-driven financial advice was to clients. This was when the dream of FINPAS CC began.
In June 1994, Tony started FINPAS CC as an independent practice aiming to place the interest's of clients first - which it remains today.
Tony provides the strategic input and portfolio positioning to FINPAS. He ensures that FINPAS upholds their commitment and exceptional service to all clients. This is only possible with the help of his dedicated and passionate team who are located in Durban.
Tony is happily married to FINPAS’ first employee, Debbie, who has been his greatest supporter and pillar of strength since their marriage in 1981.
Tony, who now has two married daughters and three grandsons, enjoys watching rugby, riding Ebikes, fishing, trail running & hiking with the dogs and spending time with family and friends.
*In 2000, ILPA joined and converted to the international accredited Financial Planning Institute. Founding members were accredited with the NQF 7 post graduate qualification of being a Certified Financial Planner ® practitioner.
