Jeff Lacey, Accountant

Jeff Lacey

Jeff is a seasoned accountant with strong roots in helping others. Prior to his accounting career, Jeff started his journey by always helping others in his social work roles, and soon pivoted to helping businesses achieve success through their accounting practices.

Jeff roots all of his work in people. Where some may think accounting is just numbers, Jeff thinks of it as a way to make an organization better, which in turn helps their people and their mission.

Jeff has over 10 years of accounting experience ranging from small businesses to larger corporations. Through this understanding of all things numbers and his love for helping others, he is very passionate about the work that Iron & Earth completes and is excited to be part of the team.

 

Iron & Earth was founded and operates on Indigenous land within Treaty Six Territory and Métis Region 4 in amiskwaciy-wâskahikan (in Nehiyawewin/Cree), so-called Edmonton. The home of many Indigenous Peoples including the Nehiyawak/Cree, Tsuut’ina, Niitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Haudenosaunee/Iroquois, Dene Suliné, Anishinaabe/Ojibway/Saulteaux, and the Inuk/Inuit.

We pay our respects to all Indigenous Peoples of this land. Through their spiritual and practical relationships with the land, a rich heritage for our learning and our life as a community has been created and maintained. We recognize that the transition to a low-carbon future must be led by Indigenous Peoples and that there will be no justice unless we acknowledge and repair our relationship with the land.

We are committed to responding to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action and upholding the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and acknowledge that we are always learning and unlearning practices that minimize harm and lead to the development of trust between us and Indigenous Peoples across Nations and urban centers.
