ATLANTA, June 18, 2018 / PRNewswire/ – For the second year in a row, the Atlanta Chapter of the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) recognized REPAY – Realtime Electronic Payments as one of the top 40 fastest-growing middle-market companies in Georgia. The Georgia Fast 40 list is split into lower middle-market and upper middle-market categories. On June 14, 2018, ACG Atlanta announced that REPAY is ranked eleventh in the upper middle-market category.
“We are honored to be part of the Georgia Fast 40 for two years in a row,” said John Morris, CEO and Co-founder of REPAY. “The REPAY team members embrace growth and change with enthusiasm, passion and grace. Our people have remained true to our values, committed to delivering superior customer service and dedicated to creating innovative payment solutions. This recognition would not be possible without our loyal employees and wonderful customers.”
This isn’t simply a pay-to-play scenario, as applicants were required to submit three years of verifiable revenue and employment growth records, which were validated by national accounting firm, Cherry Bekaert LLP. An ACG Selection Committee evaluated each application and conducted in-person interviews with all qualified applicants. All companies on the list are for profit, headquartered in Georgia, and reported year-end revenues ranging from $15 to $500 million.
“These 40 companies represent more than 13,000 new jobs and $1.9 billion in revenue growth over the last two years alone,” said Beth Turner, chairman of the 2018 Georgia Fast 40 Awards and Partner at Cherry Bekaert. “We are proud to honor these great companies in our communities.”
